I recently leaned a lot of these “oldest people” are not who they say they are, are much younger, and are involved in pension fraud. Especially when birth records from 100+ years ago didn’t necessarily exist.
Kinda ruined all these wholesome stories for me.
I’m sure some of them are as you say, but surely a few news stories we hear about oldest person are true.
Either way, I like to pretend I will live a long, healthy, and fulfilled life till I’m 155, so please don’t ruin that for me. Thank you.

But he also looked exactly the same age.
He told us the secret was to not start aging until you’re ready.
Big if true.
The trick is to keep breathing.
A saying where I’m from goes something like: “To get old, eat soup for 100 years.”
This reminds me of a currently trending Brazilian meme (amostradinho) that I’ll translate here: “Huh, what audacity! In my presence? I like this way, the lil’ exhibitionistic, let me fill your ticket, ‘Once upon a day…’, and that day is today, it’s now!”
that is top notch british humour for you gentlemen

Just like the secret to flying.
Well not exactly, to fly, you don’t need to avoid falling, you just need to make sure you avoid the ground when you fall.
