minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink31•5 months agoIf we’re selecting cool max ages for things I suggest 69.
minus-squareÐ Greıt Þu̇mpkinlinkfedilink20•5 months agoPersonally I think it should be a definition instead of a straight number Something like the current LD50 of old age or something.
