no way he thinks that every alligator is 150,000,000 yrs old ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

Once again reminded of the biohacker tech guy who took ketamine and drowned in a sensory deprivation tank
Talk about depriving yourself of sensations.
Which is sad cause I was really intresting in his experiment he hadn't published the results of yet.
Oh, it delivered some pretty clear results.
The myostatin one? I hadn't heard the results there
What was the experiment?
He tried to inject some gene edited cells.into his arm to see if it would make sense specific muscle bigger. It was a myostatin inhibitor. Basically it should have signals to his body that this muscle needs to be bigger constantly. To my understanding he never spoke on the results of that.
did he not have a spotter?
is that the weird super-rich hollow man who does blood transfusions with his son
yes, yes it is
Also Long Covid fucked his lungs up.
super-rich hollow man
redundant
At this point, the guy is in what amounts to a very weird and public self harm routine that he gets paid for. None of his treatments will produce any data of scientific value when he runs them all at once without doing any sort of controls. And if one of his treatments manages to miraculously increase his lifespan, he'll never even know because it'll almost certainly be cancelled out by all the other pseudo scientific shit he's doing to himself.
He's mostly looking at research and taking whatever works along with experimenting with new stuff
Serial cold-plungers being the patient-zero of the zombie pandemic is definitely within the possibilities of this wacky world.
Bring back "day 56 of willing myself into a lizard" posting
bring back gexposting
bring back shrek
Cant. they became a lizard and stopped posting duh
I'm not a doctor but that seems like a bad thing
This guy is gonna do all this work, making his life bereft of meaning or experiences in exchange for longevity, so that he can maybe make it to 110 or something and die
And that's assuming he actually does LENGTHEN his life with all this nonsense, and that he doesn't end up making himself super vulnerable to something and die much earlier
The only thing that has any backing that extends life is staying moderately fit and active. Having a reason to get up in the morning and move your body is basically the entirety of the secret.
Of course in a grand irony for this dude, giving blood is basically the best and only way to lower your body's microplastic and heavy metal accumulation, which might possibly have an effect on your health in old age. Taking blood doesn't do shit.
Yeah but this guy probably wouldnt even know how to give a compliment. Giving is not in his nature. Hes a literal parasite, a leech. Taking blood is the best he can do.
Fit, active and with a social life keeps you going for longer
I think he's going to die in a car crash or something
100,000's of years of evolution to maximize the efficiency of the enzymes etc. in the human body:
That's just hypothermia
I had kids because I wanted somebody to take out the garbage when I'm too tired after work.
You had kids because you wanted a Blood Boy.
Who?
Think its that rich guy who spends all his time trying to min max his health to live longer. He also gets blood transfusions from his son
Vampirism irl.
The Blood Boy harvester
Litterally cold blooded lizard people.
I see his health rapidly declining in the next five years
People keep talking about alligators like Greenland sharks don't live for centuries
They also barely move which is my plan as welll
There's something truly pitiable about people like this who are seeking this level of control over something as inevitable as mortality.
From what I am seing he said he is starving himself to achieve this effect. It is impressive to see someone with a body temp this low and not be in an ICU. I think though he is doing way more than that and that by doing so much he is doing terrible science. If he does actually see results it will be impossible to know what factor or combination of factors caused it.
But why?
He's obsessed with living forever and does stuff like taking blood plasma from his son and other really weird shit. He's not ok in the brain
And he thinks the permanent hypothermia will improve his life expectance? I'm absolutely not a medical professional, but that doesn't sound right...
His stuff is based in pseudoscience so its just made up shit for vibes. If I'm gonna operate in his headspace it would be something like cold means lower metabolism which means like some kind of pseudo cryostasis which means live longer
This is the embodiment of neoliberalism.
This guy looks like if he would eat a burger he would perish.
Honestly this will just make him live less, this kind of extreme temperatures . makes your body stressed.
I don't understand this whole "cold plunging" thing. Is it just taking a swim in the winter? I've been doing that for years. I hear it does something good for your circulation, but I dunno. Why is everyone acting like this is something new? Is this the new kale? I remember when everyone suddenly started eating kale and I had to pay way more for it at the supermarket.
First they came for my thrift shops, but I'll be damned if I am gonna share a sauna with some fitnesstechbros
