It’s weird how out body knows what’s happening but isn’t stopping it

4:37 I've never really liked "life expectancy at birth" as a statistic when talking about maximum life expectancy. 150 years ago, people frequently lived into their 70s IF they lived past early childhood. Improvement in infant mortality is what that line on that chart really shows. Once you strip out deaths that happened before the age of 5, the difference between now and 100 years ago is only ~5-10 years in most developed countries not ~30 years.

To live forever, eat one 12 ounce serving of ice cream at 7:22 p.m. each and every day. Miss one day... all bets are off. No one has yet to debunk this theory.

Almost forgot, it HAS to be plain vanilla... no other flavor will do.

Not once has anyone proven that living longer is a good thing. Quality over quantity.

I'm not a downer I want to live. I don't fear death. One day I'll get to sleep forever. I want a good death not sick not tortured. I want it to be honorable. Like he had a good life we'll miss him. He helped people and was selfless in his existence.

I dont know if I’m afraid of dying or not. I’m not worried about whatever happens after death. The thought of knowing I’m dying, it’s your time to go, saying goodbye to family and friends and memories and yourself. Hard pill to swallow. I hope I die alone so It will be peaceful, not tragic.

You watched Highlander 127 times today??
That movie is 116 minutes long, which means you spent 14, 732 minutes (or 245 hours) watching it in one day.

That, is dedication.

This just explains how we die, not why we die.

Time was an object that we were not built to perceive.

thanks for the existential crisis at 9:30 in the morning, really needed that

[ChetCoenen]

Immortality would be boring, however, being immortal to the point of natural causes would be pretty fun. If I could still get sick and die, or suffer from bad luck, that leaves life to be exciting and challenging. It would almost be like a video game character. Sure, the story might end, but as long as I never get killed by something, I can keep playing.

Amazing video but not recommended when you're high.

I wish you had pointed out more about WHY life expectancy has increased. Infant mortality has plummeted, hygiene has improved, and many contagious diseases are being vaccinated away. This needs to be said to prevent people from thinking we only lived to about 45, rather than 45 ON AVERAGE.

i dont wanna be immortal. i just wanna live my life while im here.

[idkfrcyzi]

Man I wish I wasn’t born then what’s the point if u have to die I don’t want to go through death I wish I stayed in the nothingness I’m way to scared to die

[haydenweaver]

I'm going to be completely honest with myself is that I never understood why do we have to die I get that we get old and stuff like that but even though we get old I feel like we should be able to live forever

I tried to save my dinosaur pet but lack of antibiotics did him. I never took anymore pets since then. I still miss Tipu.

I hope Sam being in videos doesn't die - I like the format of two presenters bouncing off each other!
