That's hilarious man lol I'm "only" 48 and I feel the same way. I can't even imagine how Johnathan feels

u/Void_Faith 11h ago

I’m only 27 soon and I feel the exact same way. I’m just so done with this world and especially the people in it. It’s not that hard to be a decent person dammit..

u/surelysandwitch 31m ago

Feeling that way by 27 is a bit sad. I don’t mean to be rude. Sorry.

So at which stage of his life he is now ?

u/BetsyLester 13h ago

Middle-aged, maybe. From a quick search on him, he's estimated to be 192 now, and turtles can live 100's of years.

u/Rydog_78 12h ago

He’s just getting to mid life

u/BennySkateboard 3h ago

He’s gonna buy a Lambo, get a 100 yr old girlfriend.

u/NecessaryZucchini69 3h ago

Imagine being photographed with every camera from its earliest era right up to our current digital photo equipment.

Now imagine doing that as those cameras were made and used.
