      They changed the IG noble since I last looked. Used to be “BS useless” stuff like the airodynamics in grains of rice. (Ofc now someone will link a PubMed article stating that this research holds the key to a universal cure for cancer)

      The 100+ years old in Norway can usually back the claim up by pretty scrupulous documentation. Not surprising that there is some shady pension scam going in south Italy tbh.

      Yes but, the effect of those earlier records is now completely died down (so to speak). Per PBS, Pew research , and the US Census

      • In 1950 there were about 15 centarians per million people

      • In 2000, there were about 50,000 centarians per million people

      • In 2010, there were 53,364

      • In 2020, there were 80,139

      • In 2024, about 101,000

        Wonder why the drop around 2010.

        At first I thought Covid until I looked more closely at the labels on the x axis.

        Maybe it was the fema camps. Thanks Obama?

        That was just slightly after the housing bubble crisis from 2008. Maybe that’s related.

        Edit: oh right it’s percentage of population. Maybe there were more births?
