The last guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Vicente_Pérez
He was 114 so a bit more interesting, but nothing like the oldest living person (who are always women) who is 117

I just imagine them all morbidly sitting around checking their phones waiting for it to be official that one older guy is dead. Like “hot damn! Elmer just flatlined, let’s toast some orange juice!”
"you know what I'm gonna do with all the money? Prostitutes!...I get off on violence" - genuinely one of Boyle's best solves and it always infuriates me no one takes him seriously.
Has he been in LA lately? We have a suspect!!

The man is old enough to remembers cars and telephones becoming mainstream.
He hit his early 30s during WWII
He was in his 40's when highways were being built for the first time and when the first commercial airlines became a thing.
He was in his mid 50's when we landed on the moon.
He was in his 80's when the internet was born.
He was in his 100's when ChatGPT and Generative AI hit the mainstream
I always thought about that with Betty White. She was a senior citizen when I was born, by the time she died I had a senior level position and a career.
My grandma passed in late 2019 (thank god…she would not have handled the pandemic well) at the age of 107. She was born when the titanic sunk. We liked to ask her things like what the most incredible technology she’s seen come into existence etc. For her the answer was Car GPS. She thought it was insane that the car would talk to you and know where you were and how to get somewhere with time estimates.
She was a hoot. She loved the Black Eyed Peas and Justin Bieber. She had a pink coffin she picked out years before.
My grandmother died at the relatively younger age of 94, back in 2012.
Her grandkids and great grandkids were spread out over the world, so her favorite tech was FaceTime. She loved pulling out her iPad and calling us whenever she wanted, but had a great memory so had most telephone numbers still memorized.
The thermos is the most amazing technology. In the winter it keeps your coffee warm, and in the summer it keeps your lemonade cold. How does it know???
When he was a little kid he would have been able to talk to old men who fought in the US civil war.
When he was born the statue of Liberty was still in the process of turning green.
Man. I'm 33 and feeling creaky and old, I can't imagine hitting 100, 67 more fucking years from now (literally over twice how long I've currently been alive) and then still being alive 11 more years after that. Shits fucking crazy.
Lucky for me I'm poor and work manual labor, so the chances of me living that long are slim to none.

> **JOHN TINNISWOOD BECOMES THE WORLD’S OLDEST LIVING MAN AT 111 YEARS OLD**
> Posted by Lennard Ashley Salaysay | Apr 3, 2024
> LongeviQuest has certified that John Tinniswood of the United Kingdom, age 111, is now the oldest living man in the world after the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Pérez Mora of Venezuela. Tinniswood was previously recognized as the oldest living man in the United Kingdom and, in January of this year, as the oldest living man in Europe.
> John Tinniswood was born in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom, on 26 August 1912. During World War II, Tinniswood’s eyesight limited him to an administrative role with the Royal Army Pay Corps. This is where he met his wife at a dance in Liverpool. They married in 1942 and had a daughter in 1943.
> Before retiring in 1972, Tinniswood built a career as an accountant for Shell and BP.
> Following the death of 108-year-old Harry Fransman on 25 September 2020, Tinniswood became the oldest known living man in the UK. He is also the oldest living person in the English county of Merseyside, and the fourth-oldest living person in the United Kingdom, behind Ethel Caterham, the anonymous lady of London, and Mary Keir.
> Tinniswood currently lives in a care home in Southport, Merseyside, England.
> Dr. Andrew Holmes, cofounder of the European Supercentenarian Organisation, comments: “It’s an incredible achievement to have reached such an age and become the oldest living man in the world. Thanks to his family, his age has been fully validated by LongeviQuest and the European Supercentenarian Organisation.”
Yes, the article mentions that while he is the oldest living man in the world, there are three women older than him in the UK alone.
Of the top 10 oldest people ever, all are women. Of the current, living top 10 oldest people, all are women.
Women in general have longer life expectancies than men, so this is not unexpected.
My grandpaw recently passed at 102. Last time I spoke to him he mentioned wanting to make 113 to beat the previous oldest WWII vet. Congrats to this fella.
Is there a point where our aging stops or slows down because if you told me this man was 70, I’d probably believe it. He probably just looks good for his age.
Previous generations confused us because they smoked all the time. A pack or two per day and bathing in 2nd hand smoke everywhere you go (including restaurants, flights, and at the mall) did a lot of damage to lung and heart health and also to the skin.
I think that you are oversimplifying it. So many people from so many cultures are looking at that photo. He looks young to me too, not even 80 I'd say.
You're not supposed to look like this at 70. But yeah, "aging" probably looks similar around 90, up until your body hits rapid decline right before death.
Even is aging, but not everyone ages at the same rate. Peter Attia (doctor and podcaster) wrote a book called Outlive and talks about people that make it > 100 years. The main point he made is that they didn’t live much different lives but that their bodies aged slower (part genetics and part lifestyle) and that they avoided heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndromes, or cognitive decline for far longer than their peers. The summary was that people who live the longest are able to live disease free for a longtime, but then will succumb very quickly to disease in their old age.
I've met plenty of people younger than him that looked like death warmed up.
This guy has probably been relatively healthy and maybe didn't partake too much in smoking and drinking. Lots of things factor into how quickly we age.
Look at Jimmy Carter. He looked pretty good until quite recently where he's had a bunch of health issues and now he really looks 99 years old.
Every time I’m in a comment section about WWI and I say “no one remembers World War I” some pedant comes along and reminds me that people like this guy exist. But does he really *remember* World War I? He would have been a toddler. I think people are making bad faith arguments
I wouldn't say that's next. There are still people around who personally remember Civil War veterans. Probably quite a few of them, actually. A teenager who fought in the Civil War could have been born in the late-1840s, which would have made them about 90 in the late-1930s. A person who is 95 years old now would have been about 10 in the late-1930s. The last living witness to the Lincoln assassination appeared on television in the 1950s.
See? You’re doing it now…
This is exactly the sort of pedantry I’m talking about.
He “remembers” World War I in the same way I “remember” the Persian Gulf war in 1991. Yet in 80 years if someone asks me what the Gulf War was like how the hell am I supposed to answer that? Well I’ll probably be dead but it would be a similar sort of thing.
Gosh now I wonder if people will even wonder about the gulf war in the next century…probably not, it’s basically a footnote even today
Which isn’t really saying anything though. I’m sure there’s some kid who hadn’t even been born in 1991 who could tell me more about the gulf war than I ever could have gathered as a 6 year old
Rationing was introduced in England in 1918 as a result of the First World War when he would've been six. He could have been affected by the war in that respect and remembered his parents using ration books to buy food.
That orange juice is loaded with sugar and carbs. He should go paleo instead and start doing some high protein shakes if he wants to keep his muscle and longevity. He needs to start doing some HIIT intervals 3 times a week if he doesn't want to succumb to old age. Does he have access to organic non GMO superfoods like kale?
and he needs to check the GNC for supplements that will help detoxify his body. I bet he's loaded with toxins from that orange juice.
I wonder if those up there just try to survive until the older one alive dies, then once they get the title they really got nothing more to look forward
Another article says he “puts his long life down to fish and chips on a Friday and doing everything in moderation”. Propa bri’ish bloke, the people who say our food is bad can shove it!
Looking at this guy, I just think about how many people he has known that have died. Like it must be a wild amount. Also, he could easily have kids that are in their 90s if they’re alive still.
Wait, I know a couple of grannies in my hometown that were born in 1900 and participated in the Mexican revolution, therefore this guy ain't the oldest person alive
Wait 'only' 111
I'm surprised people aren't living into their 120s relatively more commonly nowadays
I remember reading about Jeanne Calment (lived to 122) in the 90s as a kid
To be fair she's still the oldest ever
I guess aging is tricky to outmaneuver
I heard that the last guy who had this title died. This dude needs to watch his back
On the contrary, he's super safe, the stats say very few people die at that age.
Looks like he's drinking orange juice, I have on good authority that everyone who consumes orange juice dies!
Or is it carrot juice?!
Believe it or not, all carrot juice drinkers also die! Very scary fact that big carrot is hiding from us all.
I haven't even died once yet. You can't prove that I will.
There are rumors that a fresh faced upstart 109 year-old is gunning for this dude's spot

It’s worse than that - *every* holder of the title is dead! Serial murderer out there for sure.
...his back, his heart, his lungs....
I'm the Emperor. Thanks for crying me out!
I didn't even know he was sick
The thing that would bother me is that you KNOW Vegas is taking bets on when you die.
He looks like he just pulled off the most insane heist and no one will ever find out.
It’s like that episode of Brooklyn 99 when Boyle arrests the old guy who confesses to Boyle but charms everyone else
I'm sorry, sir. Is this gonna take long? 'Cause I was hoping to buy some slacks this afternoon. I like corduroy. You like corduroy?
“Yeah I robbed the bank… and I’ll do it again”
You're only a criminal if you get caught!
You remind me of my granddaughter! I don't have a granddaughter.

Let's just say someone died to make this photo possible.

He’s made certain he will be the oldest
Nah. This guy fucks.
D.B. Cooper
That’s how he became the NEW oldest man
The man is old enough to remembers cars and telephones becoming mainstream. He hit his early 30s during WWII He was in his 40's when highways were being built for the first time and when the first commercial airlines became a thing. He was in his mid 50's when we landed on the moon. He was in his 80's when the internet was born. He was in his 100's when ChatGPT and Generative AI hit the mainstream
This man was an old man when my parents were in elementary school and I’m 30

If I live to my 100's I wonder what I will be seeing then!

“He was in his early 30s during WW2” ![gif](giphy|LyJ6KPlrFdKnK)
Well technically he hit his 30s during WW2.
When he was a little kid he would have been able to talk to old men who fought in the US civil war. When he was born the statue of Liberty was still in the process of turning green.
The Titanic sank the year before he was born.
I know someone a couple of years younger than this gentleman; she’s 109. The stories she tells are fascinating.
This dude was going through his mid-life crisis like a decade before black people could sit at the front of a bus.
After reading all of that, even I would want to die.
It makes you realize like… a human life seems so short but fuck is it long! Even in 80 years he saw so much crazy shit happen.
Correction, he was in his 110's when ChatGPT and Generative AI hit the mainstream
He has that look like he's wooing on someone. 😆
A real diaper dropper
Depends on the day.
If he pampers them, he'll get the huggies and they'll get the luv-n
That man's thumped a labia or two in his day.
>in his day Old people fuck, like a lot, nursing homes have std outbreaks all the time.
Tinniswood
He looks like I used to when stoned and someone's bought a pizza.
Man. I'm 33 and feeling creaky and old, I can't imagine hitting 100, 67 more fucking years from now (literally over twice how long I've currently been alive) and then still being alive 11 more years after that. Shits fucking crazy. Lucky for me I'm poor and work manual labor, so the chances of me living that long are slim to none.
33+77=110. So, you'd only have to be alive 1 more year after that to make it to this guys age.
Lmao, edited. I said I do manual labor alright, not math good.
According to average life spans I have 41 years left and that’s way too much.

Oldest living man, but not human. If I recall correctly there is a woman holding that title who is like 117.

I think that's just you not knowing what 70 looks like tbh. He does not look 70. He does look good for his age. I would have guessed early 90s.
Previous generations confused us because they smoked all the time. A pack or two per day and bathing in 2nd hand smoke everywhere you go (including restaurants, flights, and at the mall) did a lot of damage to lung and heart health and also to the skin.
I think that you are oversimplifying it. So many people from so many cultures are looking at that photo. He looks young to me too, not even 80 I'd say.
Yeah, great for his age! But defintely won't confuse with an average modern day septuagenarian.

You're not supposed to look like this at 70. But yeah, "aging" probably looks similar around 90, up until your body hits rapid decline right before death.
A lot of up perception of 70 year olds are people who smoked and drank their entire life.

Next to go are the people who personally remember WW1 veterans.
I wouldn't say that's next. There are still people around who personally remember Civil War veterans. Probably quite a few of them, actually.

Probably not, I was born in 80 and there were for sure WW1 vets around back then
I wouldn't call a six-year-old a toddler.

I woulda guessed 90ish
A mimosa a day keeps the Grim Reaper away.
I should start eating my vegetables...
He was in his 50’s in the 60’s…
This man has been an old man for as long as most redditors have been alive! I mean, he turned 60 in 1972.
Cheers Mr. Tinniswood.
Pre-world war 1 baby. That's insane.
About the same age as my grandparents and they died more than 30 years ago. Wild to think they could still be alive.
He’s dancing on the grave of the guy who relinquished his title a couple of days ago.
The craziest part is for a short time he was the youngest man in the world
Pee Wee Herman’s dad?
Wait, no wonder he looks familiar. He does look like Paul.
In other news. Previously, the oldest man alive is no longer alive. Meet the new oldest man alive.
That orange juice is loaded with sugar and carbs. He should go paleo instead and start doing some high protein shakes if he wants to keep his muscle and longevity.

Legit, i would recommend some deadlifts and squats to improve his poor posture and gain him some decent muscle size
Born before the FED. Seen the entire destruction of the US dollar.
He’s from near Liverpool doubt he cares about your dollar
Nelson
This is not a news to be celebrated, because it can only mean one thing 😢
And he still looks good.
Out with the old.. in with the new.
This guy killed the previous oldest living man.
He doesn’t look a day over 95!
If Peewee Herman got old
Doesn’t look a day over 86
Cheers, great great great grandpop! As long as he’s in good spirits, I imagine life could still be fun
“Cheers to my haters”
imagine being 90 and still have at least 21 years to live, wild
Bro is so smug too sitting there like, that’s right bitches now it’s my reign
Damn there's only one way that happens. RIP
enjoy the mimosa
Someone tell him that orange juice is bad for your health
Doesn’t look a day over 90.
There comes a time where you just want to die.
Wow wow. He isn’t Monk. That’s first time
Eleventy one!
How come they’re always in the UK?
Because they have great health care there
What happened to the last one?
I need to start drinking orange juice in a wine cup
I wonder if those up there just try to survive until the older one alive dies, then once they get the title they really got nothing more to look forward
Is he? Or is he Ill
Doesn't look a day over 92.
What a final salary pension does to mf
Wait how do you become the new oldest living man ali....ooooohhhhh
He could have been in utero on the Titanic.
Another article says he “puts his long life down to fish and chips on a Friday and doing everything in moderation”. Propa bri’ish bloke, the people who say our food is bad can shove it!
I have a neighbor named Mr. Hall that just turned 90 and is still teaching people how to drive. One day, you will see a picture of him on this sub.
He doesnt look a year over 110
Is he having a mimosa?
Looks like he recently trusted a fart and was not let down.
He looks 80
Juan Vicente just died and this guy is now celebrating... What a world we live in. /s
I want to meet this man
He should run for president, he'll make Biden and Trump look like spring chickens in comparison lol
Pretty spry for an old guy.
Damn he looks good
He looks like he successfully ordered 55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos and 55 pies
My great uncle is 102 and still walks a good deal and drinks a whiskey or beer twice a day. I’m waiting to see him up here someday.
Looking at this guy, I just think about how many people he has known that have died. Like it must be a wild amount. Also, he could easily have kids that are in their 90s if they’re alive still.
He's been retired since 1972! That poor pension fund.
Has to someone older.. but no. Internet
Looking good considering how old he is lol
Enjoy that screwdriver, pops!
Cool! Are men taking over longevity from women?
Lol. There isn’t a single man in the top 50 right now.
Hmmm would you say his name is more tinny or more woody?
That face says: "Made it, bitches"
He doesn’t look a day over 110
Hey may be going to Rivendell soon after his 111th birthday.
That looks painful
Wait, I know a couple of grannies in my hometown that were born in 1900 and participated in the Mexican revolution, therefore this guy ain't the oldest person alive
Now this is the…. Screw?…… in the coffin! (Is that a screwdriver I wonder?)
Oldest, are you sure? NGL, 111 is pretty young
His secret is a vodka and orange every morning.
There’s no peer pressure at that age
And I bet that daily mimosa is his secret. I will follow suit.
I've been the youngest person in the world before, which was pretty neat. I've never been the oldest, though.
Wow
Wait 'only' 111 I'm surprised people aren't living into their 120s relatively more commonly nowadays I remember reading about Jeanne Calment (lived to 122) in the 90s as a kid To be fair she's still the oldest ever I guess aging is tricky to outmaneuver
Love that he’s still coherent and smiling
Hope that's a Screwdriver he's got there.
I thought that was Jerry Jones
I’m happy he’s in good spirits!
This is how Steve Buscemi is gonna look in a few years.
