    Does that freak you out a little knowing you and nearly all the people you know will be dead? :(

    You will be decayed and rotton . Stinking and liquid like(or dry). You may be used by a plant or insect as food. You will look nasty.




    I for one am not happy with this situation and would like suggestions to avoid it.

    I mightnt be, my grandad is in his mid nineties.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    Also, the key to immortality is to not die. Figured that one out a long time ago.

    It is possible I could live to 102, unlikely, but still possible.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    We'll all be in nursing homes long before it dribbling, mumbling incoherently and pissing ourselves.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,184 ✭✭✭mrsdewinter


    If it so happens that I'm alive to celebrate the centenary of my Leaving Cert, I'm pretty sure you'll find me pleading with a young nursing home attendant to arrange my quick, easy death.
    Don't worry about it, OP. You'll be beyond caring in 2092.

    I plan on living through the 2010's, 2020s and 2030's before worrying about that sh'it!

    It really is all down hill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 851 ✭✭✭PrincessLola


    I'll be 101. I'll be all wrinkly and old but Iwill deffo still be alive, what with increasing life expectancy and all.
    It will be SO CASH, I'll be too old to give any f*cks, I'll do whatever I want, I'll shoplift and steal cars and no one will do anything because who is going to imprison a 101 year old woman? HA HA!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,077 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    OP needs to watch the whole of Six Feet Under. You'll see death a little differently by the time you get to the closing scenes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

    earlier today I got my "final farewell" from a friend who is dying from cancer

    Ive sat and cryed, listened to sad songs on You Tube, Ive tried to get on with my life and spent time in the company of family, Ive tried to compose something to say in tribute to a fine bloke (you'd like him Im sure) and Ive tried to hide and distract myself by acting the maggot, drinking too much and getting argumentative on an internet forum


    you know what


    it counts for ****

    cos whilst he's not the first person Ive lost, he wont be the last and I can tell you, it gets no ****ing easier every time it happens

    You will be fecked, be sore from some nasty condition, probably not able to remember your name and not able to wipe your own arse.

    The ole hips will be in a state and you will be nearly blind.

    And you will still have to pay the household charge.

    If you want to do something exciting and adventuress Now is the time.

    You might even remember it when you are 70

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I dunno.
    Something to do with these worms maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 301 ✭✭Ellian


    I'm with Neil on this one...

    There are not many of them, all things considered: the truly old. Even on this planet, in this age, when people consider a mere hundred years or a thousand, to be an unusual span.

    There are, for example, less than ten thousand humanoid individuals alive on this planet today who have personal memories of the saber-toothed tiger, the megatherium, the cave bear.
    There are today less than a thousand who walked the streets of Atlantis.
    There are less than five hundred living humans who remember the human civilizations that predated the great lizards.
    There are roughly seventy people walking the earth, human to all appearances (and in a few cases, to all medical tests currently available), who were alive before the earth had begun to congeal from gas and dust.
    How well do you know your neighbors? Your friends? Your lovers? Walk the streets of any city, and stare carefully at the people who pass you, and wonder and know this: There are there too. The old ones.

    It'd be mad to be born in 2092.. youd probably live to the year 2222, in time to see eamonn dunphy on an antique radio.

    I suspect they're not arsed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 136 ✭✭yuppies


    Why haven't the atheists jizzed on this thread yet?

    Because they realise that even non-intellectuals are atheist nowadays so the smug-factor is gone

    Over 50% of females born in Ireland in 2010 will live to 100 or more.

    Surely Aubrey de Grey will have found a way to make us all immortal by then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I bet before that year we'll see the first robot become president of the USA. Mark my words.
    Xfactor will still be on too, with the exact same format it's had for the previous 100 years.

    I used one of those ridiculously accurate life expectancy calculators and it told me if I die a natural death it will between 2060 to 2065 (born in 1988). That's mid 70s, I'd be happy enough with that.:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex

    I'd love to find out who the oldest boardsie. Not for a fetish or anything like that. Just curious as to who the elder of this tribe is. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,202 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes

    Mine died in 1995 and 2002. My own life expectancy is 30 years, and so is the wife's.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    I think I'll die of weakness in a warm bath, due to dilated vessels not pumping enough blood. at around 2060


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    I'd be 100 then. Not going to happen, realistically, but not impossible.
