World's oldest man Yasutaro Koide dies aged 112 in Japan

I can remember about 10 or 15 years ago someone made it up to 120+.

About time, amirite?

Unofficially, there's been a few claims but none of them had proof of their age

>>17909
>born in the 20th century
fucking casual

Why are all the comments about this on >facebook from third-worlders saying they have some dude in their village in Nigeria or Bangladesh who's 140 and still alive?

>>17949
Because they actually believe it and those people claim to be that old out of a misguided belief that it might get them fame and money

>>17909

>112

shieeeet, nigga ain't got nothin on Yoda.

Only two people born in the 19th century still alive. Italy and the US battling it out for gold.

Or they're just really old/uneducated and don't know better themselves.

A lot of countries have zero medical knowledge at all, and they probably still think aging is just demons and miasma taking their toll.

If educated people get so senile with age, imagine how bad uneducated people must be.

That's literally what it is. Using Wikipedia in an argument, however, is retarded. Rather than linking to a credible source, >>18789
you linked to something that can be changed by literally anybody.

>>17949
Desire for relevance

>>18927
Those changes don't stay up
Wikipedia has a factual error rate similar to Encyclopedia Britannica

>>18927
>something that can be changed by literally anybody.

because Wikipedia articles don't have a huge list of references at the bottom and the site isn't policed by mods.

au contraire, mon ami
if you are going for an age record, at least span three centuries. Like, me, I was cleverly born in 1991, and by 2101 I'll be a 110 living fossil from before the internet
