That's... Dying at 54 years of age?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Dying at 54 means you can also live in the bliss of eating red meat, drinking, and ripping cigarettes every day after your 20s.

and the problem is where? I'm here for a good time not a long time

You can still be happy in your 50s and beyond.

Teach me this skill.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

At least until 72 or so. After that it's iffy.

Eh, my parents are pretty happy in their 70s. They still go skiing, travel a ton, etc. Stay active and your 70s can be quite pleasant.

Made me think of this Irish toast:

"Here's to a long life, and a merry one
A quick death, and an easy one
A pretty girl, and an honest one
A cold beer - and another one"

I’m here for a good AND long time.

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 3 points 16 hours ago

Ideally also long.

This.

You can push it back to 1944 if you're in the US, the war wouldn't have impacted you much. You could even push it back to 1940, but there may be some depression era nutrition issues.

That bumps 2001 up to 57. Honestly go for a few more years and retire before '08 and die in 2019 before covid at age 75

Why die before COVID? COVID was honestly kinda okay, if you're a home body type. I played so many video games, it was glorious.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

Being 75 puts you in the choking to death from covid range, no fun.

As God intended.
