On: 'Jonathan' is the oldest land animal on Earth

Apparently the secret to living 500 years is to move somewhere cold, avoid sunlight, and never be in a hurry

I do IT, poorly, in a basement in Canada. I will live to 500.

As a person that absolutely loves hundred plus degree weather and is constantly outdoors I’ll take 20 years of a hot, sunny life over 500 years of that.

But what if I already live somewhere cold, avoid sunlight and am never in a hurry?

If you are a human this will make you a depressed alcoholic.

I also don't drink

Cold, no sun AND no alcohol? Man that must suck. :)

(And apologies for the slop, that was the first reasonable link I found.)

Then short of living in a war ravaged country, or somewhere that is poverty stricken with malnutrition, you are living one of the least desirable forms of human life. For your sake, I hope you’re at least watching good TV, playing some nice video games, are working on an interesting problem and have someone to have sex with.
