well yeah

there are some animals that just don't age at all

so replicating what they do in some way would probably be the easiest thing to do

since it's already a natural occurance

I think the best we will be able to do is slow it

arent those "immortal" lifeforms small though

giant tortises are not small

yeah, simple lifeforms inherently will have less cellular decay

so that fits my understanding

humans all things considered are pretty complicated

mgiht have something to do with metabloic rate

wouldn't it be difficult to do anything like slowing age when it comes to the brain though?

afaik the brain doesnt exactly regenerate lost cells, i could be wrong though

that sounds right to me

While the vast majority of our brain's cells are formed while we are in the womb, there are certain parts of the brain that continue to create new neural cells during infancy. Until recent decades, however, the brain’s limited capacity to regenerate triggered the belief that neurogenesis—the birth of new brain cells—ceased soon after this stage.

brain cells don't divide after a certain point

Yeah I think brain cells would be the big hurdle

that was bottlekneck how long we could realistically extend human life

but as far as I know

the main problem with aging is when cells stop dividing b/c the DNA gets too fucked

so brain cells are kinda unrelated

I mean eventually all your brain cells will die though

but I'm not sure that they really age

idk

doesn't the liver have the ability to completely regenerate itself even from a small portion?

just put liver genes in our brains

that does not sound right considering how many people have fucked their livers via alcohol

okay 51%

makes more sense

I think starfish can regenerate like their whole body

starfish can, yes

yeah

simple things can

worms can just become 2 worms

I assume with the liver it depends on what parts are damaged

if you cut them in half

some worms pika

I uh

tired that one time

and ended up killing a whole contrainer of worms

lmfao

young me was like

dude we can have double the worms

if we cut them in half

Stonks

young bopit was an apprentice serial killer

I think it's like earth worms only

Trust me pika it works

the liver thing made me think we shouldnt try to copy that for the rest of the body - imagine if you regenerated part of your arm but the shape wasn't preserved

Nothing Jewish going on here though

Okay

you have a 40% chance if you cut off part of your dick for it to grow back larger

do you do it

Yes

foreskin does not count

jew

cells are really good at getting the shape right though somehow

no

Cuts foreskin off and it turns into an umbrella

...

That's a rich person cosmetic isn't it, the foreskin cream

Oprah promoted it I think

hey pika can we inject starfish genes into humans

and invent cloning

true

pika just cut yourself in half

reporting bopit for telling someone to cut themselves

that's it

I'm reporting pikachu again

this server is going down

lol

gl with that DoJ

this one might be better

so for the non-gun nuts, they want to change a gun's classification based on whether the butt of it touches your shoulder or not

imo
