In the old days one could just pick up a sword and go on exciting adventures to collect Shillings

Now you have to work at walmart or Quizznos for 50 years stacking shelves. How did we let this happen

In the old days you would get a sliver in your hand and have to get the whole shit amputated.

In the old days, you also had the plague, polio, leprosy and a 35 year life expectancy.

You can still go adventuring and live a life as a nomad. You just dont have the desire to live that way. Just like you wouldn't want to do it back in the day, because it would be hard.

That’s a meme fampai. The average is skewed due to infant mortality. If you made it out of your teenage years you had a pretty good shot at making it past 60.

bruh just look at the known lifespans of different figures from throughout the empire on wikipedia or smthing. > 100 years is certainly an exaggeration but a lot of dudes who made it through early childhood were comfortably living to 70-80

is that the most retarded meme in existence ? My grandpa literally never took any pills never had surgeries or antibiotics and lived to 80s. I've never been sick in my life where I had to take a pill or I die also, no one in my family has.

Once you made it past the infancy you could live over 70 easily, unles. Living past 40s is overrated anyway, I'd rather live a short life full of adventures than be a 90 year old boomer working at walmart

It isn't hard to live a long life. Stop buying shitty ass processed foods, sodas, sugary shit etc. Just eat protein, fish, eggs, etc and fruit. If you can find organic versions of these things for cheap, then that's a plus. Why is discipline such a hard concept to grasp for Amerifats?

You forgot not being a fatass and fasting once in awhile. There's been a lot of research done lately on fasting and apparently it's healthier than we realized. In fact eating 3 meals a day might actually be worse for you in the long run, and it's a more recent development. People only used to eat when they were truly hungry. Now we eat because it's a specific time of day even when we shouldn't.

100 years is not over exaggeration, all those people that have a wiki died from assination or is he likes because they were promonent figures back then , the jew doesnt tell u this because imagine the back lash when people find out they r dying n getting cancer from all the pesticide non organic foof they r eating

No because you and everyone else is already pumped full of resistances and vaccines to the point where you can barely even get an infection from other people, both because they don't really have any and also because you have an artificially built resistance to almost all major infections you do encounter.
My grandma grew up in rural europe and had to be taken 200 km away to a hospital because she cut her finger dicing onions as a kid. One of her cousins also died from a common cold.
