    Sure, it is an extreme. As in my edit I stated: this is due to sanitation. It is all over the board throughout the 15th-18th century world because pandemics/diseases/epidemics came and went and sanitation was so low and medicine was so bad that people dropped like flies, and thus did the life expentency average.

    In particular, my “25 year l.e.” example was about 18th century France.

    Right, like uhh you know the average life span for a healthy male used to be 25 years right? Did you think that was for no reason? Smfh.

    Did you think 90 years passed and suddenly the life span tripled?

    The idiocy

    Edit: to make sure some of the responses aren’t misunderstanding my point - medicine.

    Scientific advances. Technology, research, people knowing how to literally wash their fucking hands added years to the lifespan.

    And yes it has tripled in some cases. 18th century France the life expectancy was twenty four years old.

    This increase to what we see today is LARGELY due to medical care and sanitation alone.

    It’s all over the board back then, in fact, because of sanitation. Diseases would.come and go and life expentencies would sink like a tanker because sanitation was non existent.

    So yes I exaggerated the time span, obviously, but I wasn’t kidding about the tripling part - if a bit vaguely.



  • It’s a talking point… stay with me… that turned into a “catchphrase” because it’s used so much. It’s not to be taken literally.

    Still with me or?

    You cannot have a debate with a Trumper without him/her saying “democrats send money over there” in one form or another.

    If you don’t fall into this category, congrats! This comment isn’t about you!

    But no, I will as divisive as I need to with Trumpers, they are a cancer on this society that is attempting to take root in the heart of our country yet again. They should be ridiculed and weeded out, forced back into the shadows where they can nurse their wounded egos and barely.masked bigotry in solitude.
