Would you take a cheap and effective once-a-day anti-aging pill? What if it were a suppository? (lemmy.ca)

You can assume that for every day you take the pill you don't age that day - if you skip it for a day you age by a day.

If I take 2 a day could I go back in time?

Guess I'll take a bunch of aging pills and look at my future self then use anti aging pills to go back.

No. I guess the idea with the question is more around how often you'd take the pill. People can extend their lifetimes already by exercising and eating healthy, but how often do they keep that habit every day. If the pill only worked for one day at a time, how often do you think you'd skip taking it because you'd only age one day and you had a really busy day?
