    Right, like uhh you know the average life span for a healthy male used to be 25 years right? Did you think that was for no reason? Smfh.

    Did you think 90 years passed and suddenly the life span tripled?

    The idiocy

    Edit: to make sure some of the responses aren’t misunderstanding my point - medicine.

    Scientific advances. Technology, research, people knowing how to literally wash their fucking hands added years to the lifespan.

    And yes it has tripled in some cases. 18th century France the life expectancy was twenty four years old.

    This increase to what we see today is LARGELY due to medical care and sanitation alone.

    It’s all over the board back then, in fact, because of sanitation. Diseases would.come and go and life expentencies would sink like a tanker because sanitation was non existent.

    So yes I exaggerated the time span, obviously, but I wasn’t kidding about the tripling part - if a bit vaguely.
