Goddamnit. I was heartbroken for a moment thinking about the Artemis II launch and how he wouldn't see it, and then I remembered what fucking day it was...

This seems to be an April Fool’s trend this year. I saw post on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world that are similar.

He’s one of those vibrant 90 year olds, one that probably, medically, runs circles around many a 60 year old. Check out some of his interviews, he doesn’t project that age. Spiner has mentioned how full of life and well read he is in interviews.

Even so. He’s 95. To die in your sleep at 95 while mobile AND with all your faculties intact would be an excellent run.

There’s a fun interview, Wired maybe?, where he critiques caricatures of himself.

Aging lies at the intersection of genetics and environment, which means that 1) not everyone ages at the same rate, and 2) there are things that you can do to slow the rate of aging. The levers you have to pull include sleep, exercise, nutrition, supplements and drugs. I'm fortunate to have good genetics, with a couple of SNPs associated with longevity, and over the last 5 years or so have optimized the above factors to greatly improve my health and vitality. I turn 60 in June, I am in the best shape of my life, and most people assume I'm in my mid-40s and are shocked when they learn how old I really am. I feel like I've experienced something of a minor miracle, as I spent probably 20 years of my life morbidly obese and was in very poor health when I started. 60 year old me could kick 30 year old me's ass any day of the week. If you want a specific blueprint of things you can do to move the needle on your lifespan and healthspan, Peter Attia's book "Outlive" is very good. If you don't want to give a narcissist that is in the Epstein files your money, the book is available for free as an audiobook on spotify, and I'm sure it can be found as an epub sailing the high seas.

Bunnies always look mad from the front. It’s one of their most adorable qualities!

Sometimes they actually do get mad, but that’s also adorable and kinda funny too!

Real. I saved up a few hundred to meet him in person and I'll be so upset if he croaks before then. The con is in like 2 weeks so he'd better make it until then

If it's anything like Dragon Con last year, he's gonna ramble for 20 minutes or so and then leave the panel early. I'm not saying you shouldn't see him, but I hope you have other reasons to want to be there.

I would never pay that much to meet anyone. They are all just people. And he's full of himself. Won't even let people just see him walking. Needs a tent of his own so no I've can even look at him.

It’s crazy how much a bit of walking can do to one’s body in the long run.

You often see people saying they don’t care if they die young, but it’s not about the age you get to, but how much or your life is spent in misery. Being old 60-80 is rough.

I def have other reasons and if he's a total ass or decides to just bounce, there's other folks I can see. There's also LOADS of artists selling things, so I'll have fun regardless. One my best friends that I don't see irl very often is making the 2 hr trip to go with me and some other friends as well

By doing something for exercise (e.g. walking) vs. doing nothing, you get around 80% of the benefit of an optimized exercise strategy. I agree 100% about healthspan being as important or more important than lifespan. When I was fat, I had a real wake-up call coming back from a family vacation. I was carrying my 2 carry-on bags up the jetway after exiting the plane, and I was out of breath. As I waited for my ex-wife and kids, they wheeled up a man probably a decade older than me in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank, and I saw my future in that instant. Having recovered my health and fitness has been life changing for me. Not only can I do all the things I used to enjoy when I was young, I hang out with a younger crowd and attract women half my age. My only regret is that it took me so long to begin to properly care for myself and develop the habits that keep me strong and healthy.

I don't want to see Shatner dead, but I do want him to die before Takei. It was a shame Shatner outlived Nemoy. But at the least, let's hope Takei is the last one standing.
