Medicine made huge strides in the last 100 years. Wait until you read about amputation before the invention of anesthetics...

The greatest advances in human longevities came with good public health laws, Vaccines and antibiotics. As we see today with Covid Vaxes....

We now live TWICE as long as the average person in 1910. And we have few doubts that given medical advances coming in only 50 yrs. that will double again.

Many children alive today may well live to be 150. The effects on social security will be remarkable.

And then all that silly doom and gloom. We have more nonagenarians alive at present that EVER before in human history, as a consequence. And many of them fully functional, too.

Fully six of my parents' bros. and sis' lived to be in their 90's. Many of us now have 25 more yrs. to "mingle " with the female population.....

And the effects of collecting that much info, wisdom and experiences will be remarkable, too.

Another amazing fact a redditor pointed out was that, with all the porn on the internet, you have probably seen vastly more vaginas or dicks then anyone else in your ancestry. Going back in the day, even if you managed to see every vagina or dick in your village, you'd maybe manage to see a couple hundred vaginas/dicks in your lifetime. Now you can see a couple hundred vaginas/dicks an hour! From all over the world! I don't know why, but I think back on this fact way too often.

Mentioned pleasant interactions with women. If some think that's porn, they need to get a life.

Tooth pulling and wearing green were horrifying- oldy timey amputation is the level after that.

Yep. Today we have managed disease and viruses so well that some people think they aren't even real anymore.

Oh they are real. It’s just the vaccines that have chemical microchips which can track location and read your thoughts and lower your sperm count. Obviously.

And people act like today is bad, people used to genuinely be that stupid.
