I dunno, I think he's pretty charismatic. He has all these researchers wanting to spend time with him.

Sure but biologists will talk to anything. You know what happened to the other tortoises? Bored to death.

Yeah, but is he more charismatic than Bryan Johnson?
Wait till he gets his hands on turtle semen and peptides

He still has quite a ways to go to 1485715964481761497309522733620825737885569961284688766942216863704985393094065876545992131370884059645617234469978112000000000000000000000. :-)
He has a pm unusually large volume and has been around an unusually long time and they are the group responsible for anomalies in space-time.

Interesting so the oldest land animal hasn’t cracked 200 but stuff that lives in the sea can go for five or 600 years or more.

There's sharks out there that are much older than the United States.
And sponges older than pyramids.

And Orange Roughy, available in Australian fish and chip shops, spawned around the same time as the first British colony there.

Older than the United States hahaha.
Remember the saying : in the US, 100 years is a long time; in Europe, 100km is a long distance.

It's still pretty long in the US.
Over an hour by car, and even for people who bicycle regularly riding a century is no joke.

By that same sort of metric, 100 years is a long time in Europe, too. Not too many people live that long.

How pedantic can we be? There are a number of countries in Europe younger than the United States...
tick_tock_tick 2 hours ago [-]
Isn't the USA older then pretty much every country in Europe? Maybe the UK could be considered older depending on how you count it and San Marino is there but all the other major ones like Germany, Italy, France, Spain, etc aren't even 100.
Scandiravian 1 hours ago [-]
How in the world can you claim that France is not even 100? The German empire was established in 1857, which is definitely more than 100 years ago; it's also not unreasonable to say that the HRE could be equated to the German state, that Spain is the continuation of Castille, and that the Roman empire can be considered the direct precursor to Italy
There's a cultural through line for all these countries, often stretching back thousands of years, which means that they reach further back than the definition of the modern state

It's interesting how arrogant Europeans can be towards the U.S. when they themselves seeded the U.S.!

They did opt to swab his mouth rather than draw blood to minimize his discomfort. That seems like a pretty reasonable compromise for the value of learning and science
