    “Don’t do this at home” it’s hard not trying to be the oldest man or woman in the world since a I am getting older every second lmao
  • @WolfMan-hc8ey
    Fun fact, as of may 13th 2020 the oldest human alive is a man from Japan named Kane Tanaka aged 117 years and 149 days.
  • @squiddiot5477
    Cannot believe humans heard stories of impossible survival and thought “wait, we can use that to heal others!” Absolutely amazing, absolutely insane.
  • @dreadwolfrising
    Cases like Anna Bagenholm's are the reason why in my paramedic course we were taught that hypothermia (alongside pediatric cases) is one situation where you administer CPR as long as possible until told to stop, instead of just stopping after 20mins. There's been many a situation like hers where hypothermia has inadvertently saved people's lives
  • @TsarDragon
    "Normal human: Dies at 25°C core body temperature" Anna: "And this is to go even further beyond!"
  • @davidzubiria3783

    “What’s the longest we can survive after death?” Jesus: 3 days give or take
  • @katafazekas3349
    Dr. Vijg: "You'd need 10,000 worlds like ours to have the chance that there would become human who would become 125 years old." Queen Elizabeth: Challenge accepted.
