GMsohum 5 Posted January 29, 2020 I challenge everyone that I will be the last man surviving from the 20th century. My birth year is 1994. Will post 'Hi' in this thread on 1st Jan 2120. All the 20th century born would be wiped out by then theoretically. I will be the only one surviving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMsohum 5 Posted January 29, 2020 Best option is to live upto year 2150. Then i will enter Guiness Book of World Records and my name will be immortal even after my death. 150 years is not a big deal. One year passes very fast on count of 1-2-3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then later i understood it is impossible so came down to 2100. The reason is simple. Living that long implies good health for a long time and good health will come by staying in good environment and being busy in work and having a balanced life. Longevity is a result of many positive factors. Luck is also required. We get to live only once so why not live as long as possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,967 Posted January 29, 2020 I kind of want to have lived in three centuries, i.e. from 1982-2100 at least (yes, not 2101 but 2100, looks good enough). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The most important factor, by far, is genetics... since you're a man, you're already at a major disadvantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your birth year being 1994 already places you at a huge disadvantage. Those 5 (or 6 depending on how you count the 20th century) years that you lose by not being born in 1999 or 2000 makes it almost impossible to become the last living person from the 20th century.
