is the internet a legit place?

true dat playa.
the internet is legit.
in a cool sense.

like when people say "damn thats legit"

 

[ChrisH36]

is the internet a legit place?

Last time I checked, it was open source and we are all anomynous, not legit.

If it is true, that is neat. But I think there is a smell of Weekly World News written all over it.

It sounds to easy for someone who doesn't understand biology to go "that makes sense I guess I'll believe it". Anyone else knows it is way more complex on the ideas of aging one why something like changing a few genes won't work.

 

[ChrisH36]

Even then, I hardly doubt that one miraculous breakthrough, probably found off dumb luck would do that kind of increase.

Also, they can't test the theory.

Who wants to live past 70 anyway?

 

[Glowy]

Well isn't it all they haft to do if find someway to keep our red blood cells reproducing at full capacity to keep us alive forever? I'm no science guy but I remember something along those lines...I mean hell in 2 years we will be buying cloned meat, vegetables ect...

 

[Jimbo]

being alive is way better than being dead imo

 

[Glowy]

Thats not entirely true....imagine being a chicken raised in a food factory...

 

[ChrisH36]

Who wants to live past 70 anyway?

People with a phobia of death or the afterlife. Or those who believe to strongly in heaven/hell and that one bad thing would throw them into "eternal damnation".

during anatomy last year we watched a video about extending life. the video showed a worm that its body blocks **** which makes it age verrrrrryyyy slowly. so say like we have a hole where aging material falls in and makes us age, well this worm makes this hole very small so the aging process takes much longer. of course this was a very dumbed-down version, it actually has a lot to do with other ****

this isnt the worm im talking about, but a for-instance
Anti-seizure drugs slow aging in worms, Nervous system may regulate aging processes

 

[Years]

that article is pretty neat.
and i'd actually like to live for a long ass time.
because then i wouldnt have to worry about if heaven/hell is real for a long ass time.

 

[Metal Gear Flash]

id love to live for a couple hundred years....see my great great grandchildren....see so many things, and see the world change

 

[Glowy]

Death is just like sleepin...whats so bad about it?

but damn imagine the power and money you could have after living 400 years....that'd be sweet

 

[Years]

depends on your work ethic after about 100 years.

 

[Glowy]

Well bust your ass for a good decade or two...put it in the bank. Ride the interest for a couple of more decades and boom take over the world. Then make good investments.


I'm doin that on a smaller scale atm.

 

[Speaker]

Death is just like sleepin...whats so bad about it?

..seriously gp?

 

[Glowy]

Um yea...I've came close to dieing a few times in my life and its not the fear of dieing...its what happens afterwards that gets me.

you hear storys of people who died then was brought back to life and they say they saw lighted tunnels and a mcdonalds and stupid ****... Just darkness...
