Not any other vertebrate animal can live for 400 years. It is known that one parrot was 150 year old when it died. A human being has presumably lived 120 years. A giant turtle can live 300 years. Most other vertabrates live a lot less in years.
But holger was found out to be 400 years old. It lives in total darkness for 400 years and it is a slow swimmer.
It becomes blind early in the life. At somepoint in its life while the holger is sleeping, a parasite might find it on the seafloower and immediately burrows into its eye. This parasite will suck blood through the eye for as long as it lives which is 10 years at tops. Then the dead parasite will still be attached on the holgers eye even after death.
Of course for holger this means blindness due to infection. As long as the parasite is alive, holger may regain partial eyesight depending on where exactly on the eye the parasite had attached.
This parasites only assault holger and not any other animal. Such is life of a shark who lifes in total darkness for 400 years.
Jesus is eternal. Why are you impressed with the life span of animals instead of your soul, user?

good analogy for Europe and shitskins
Wyatt Martin
Saged and reported. That was an announcement.
Gavin Myers
Fuckin hell imagine spending 400 years as that thing. What a cruel existence.
Eli Perez
I think the human record is 122? A giant tortoise was found on some island that Napoleon lived on with his initials carved in it's shell. And they have found a Greenland Shark that was estimated to be over 500yrs old.

Are you bored? Why don't you fuck off to a women-hate or nigger-hate or China-hate thread? Why can't we kick a topic around without this neurotic paranoia?
Jason Thompson
you fuckin retards never heard of greenland sharks? go fuck off somewhere else.
Nicholas Gonzalez
they do not know the exact age they live to, estitmated around 380-500 years I think it is
it's btw the kind of shark that icelanders burries in the sand to let rot and later dry and eat in small cubes while they drink booze. it tastes like absolute shit.
called shark-man in icelandic and shark-woman in norwegian

This is what you will reincarnate as if you are a bad boy
Anthony Hernandez
is it healthy to eat, eventhough tastes bad?

400 years! 400 years is nothing when there is an immortal jellyfish "Turritopsis dohrnii" floating about the ocean.
Lives forever, your gunni goo hoo fish can get fucked.
Isn't there a kind of jellyfish that is effectively immortal. It goes through its life cycle and then reverts to a juvenile state and starts over. It could have been a dream.
Don't tell China about them. They'll get the idea that eating holgers will grant a longer life and hunt them to extinction. >user sages thread for not being political >GOD user, STOP BEING PARANOID what?
Cooper Reyes
>is it healthy to eat, no you get sick it's full of toxins, the rotting and drying process they do there removes it. so it's not only to be weird they do, but to make it somewhat edible

Large whales may be several hundred years old. They have been found with Inuit stone harpoon points in them. Last used hundreds of years ago.
Logan Barnes
Well it obviously keeps itself fed and I'm sure it can still smell some fresh young shark pussy miles away. Not enough intellect to realize the horror of existence so probably not too bad a life desu.
Benjamin Scott
I think lobsters have immortality too. They just always fuck up somehow and get killed.
Logan Taylor
This is trumps fault
Joshua Powell
Icelandic delicacy hákarl,
Camden Ross
that's just a jellyfish basically a plant. it just exists and floats around
Colton Rivera

I guess I wad referring more to those anons that think every thread on the board is a slide thread. Sorry I guess?
Lucas Rogers
Shit's fascinating.
Zachary Rogers
Why would it be terrible? You have zero sense of self or others, let alone a sense of "why am I here" or any concept whatsoever of any world outside of meeting immediate needs. You're the top of the food chain. Seems pretty solid.
Luke Baker
WRONG! Lobsters cells to degrade when they replecate which means they age and eventually die, Turritopsis dohrnii perfectly self replecate their cells which means they dont age and are immortal.
WRONG Plants have RNA Turritopsis dohrnii have DNA its a living animal not a plant.
some of them we do not even have a clue to how old they actually get
Bentley Scott
Isn't God strange to make such creatures that have their eyeballs eaten out at a young age only to live for another 400 years floating around in blindness?
Justin Adams
At this point Im convinced our entire existence is just a cruel metaphor
Colton Gutierrez
jesus christ how horrifying
Lucas Walker
They've pulled massive lobsters up off the coast of ME, that have been estimated to be 150yrs+. You're probably right.
Luke Brooks
Yeah, and mosquitos, and aids, and carona, and children with cancer.... fickle fucking fella huh?
Jeremiah Moore
The Holger is a total representation of USA.

If our pain is this bad down here in the fourth dimension, imagine how legendary our suffering must be in the higher planes. God only knows what 9th dimensional anons are going through.
Maybe the buddhists are right. Maybe life is just a cycle of death and rebirth and what you become is based on your karma. Now, while you still have time to reflect on your deeds, maybe you shouldn't have illegally downloaded that one song or tv show - now you'll be a blind shark for 400 years.
I was thinking the other day about how many flies are killed by spiders each day.
In my garden I see it fairly often. At a conservative estimate I'd just say 1 fly per day gets devoured by a spider in my garden. My garden is bigger than other people's so the average number of spiders getting devoured in the average garden might be less than 1. But then you have the vast majority of the land not being garden space, and flies are dying there too. So just say that on average, 1 fly dies per day in each garden in the UK via spider. There's what, 5,000,000 households in the UK? I don't know, but that seems reasonable.
So there would be 5,000,000 flies dying each day via getting captured by a spider and dissolved from it's venom. An agonising holocaust of flies every single day of the year. And that's just flies; and just flies dying from spiders.
I hate flies, but even so, that seems like a lot of suffering that you'd want to avoid if you're a righteous almighty creator.
