    Fuck, that’s my dream but realistically it won’t happen. I’m an early 90s kid. I would have to live a decent bit over 100 to see 3 centuries.

      I’d have to hit 130.

      I’m not sure there’s even that much more of this century I want to see.

      At least you got it easier than us 2000s kids. I have to live to 96 just to see two!

        Except for strictly 2000 kids, those will get to live in three centuries before turning 101

      It’s kind of a sad way to live. Your family is mostly dead and all your friends are gone. And the world isn’t what you knew anymore. So you just sit there and wait to die yourself.

        Yea I see what you mean, I only really have my siblings, fiancee and mother that I care about so I’m not worried about extended family. I have a handful of great friends but I’m perfectly content with being alone, I often go solo camping to get away from things. I’ve long since made peace with what my dream entails if I ever were to live that long.

          Being content with being alone isn’t quite the same thing as knowing the world you lived in is gone and you are all that’s left. And all that you have left is dying.
