minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink31•6 months agoIf we’re selecting cool max ages for things I suggest 69.
minus-squareÐ Greıt Þu̇mpkinlinkfedilink20•6 months agoPersonally I think it should be a definition instead of a straight number Something like the current LD50 of old age or something.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•6 months agoRetirement age of 8 years ago (to prevent extending it for themselves) - 4 years.
