The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs.

If you haven’t come across him, Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die.

He has been interviewed by most mainstream news outlets where he has documented his extreme and bizarre quest for immortality. From a story in The Guardian:

“He rises at 4.30am, eats all his meals before 11am, and goes to bed – alone – at 8.30pm, without exception. He ingests more than 100 supplement pills daily and bathes his body in LED light. Two of the three meals he eats every day are exactly the same: boiled broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and garlic, nuts and seeds. He takes 54 pills in the morning, and the rest in between skin treatments and red-light therapy. He doesn’t drink alcohol, and doesn’t go out in the evening. He experimented with injecting himself with blood plasma from his 18-year-old son Talmage.”

Lol, and indeed, lmao

Nope lol

He does have a son who is his "blood boy"

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

That’s not too bad if you’re a morning person especially depending on sunrise/sunset times in your time zone. The eating all meals before 11:00 is the bigger nope IMHO

For sure but no one going to bed at 8:30pm is getting laid regularly.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I mean he's a billionaire he could get laid every single day at exactly 1:47pm with a different person of exactly his specifications down to exact measurements.
