I recently leaned a lot of these "oldest people" are not who they say they are, are much younger, and are involved in pension fraud. Especially when birth records from 100+ years ago didn't necessarily exist.
Kinda ruined all these wholesome stories for me.
I'm sure some of them are as you say, but surely a few news stories we hear about oldest person are true.
Either way, I like to pretend I will live a long, healthy, and fulfilled life till I'm 155, so please don't ruin that for me. Thank you.
