        I know. It's astounding. I don't believe most would be evil enough to say those things in person but they like to court controversy online 😐

        Amazing. But actually I think the 19th century actually ended on December 31st 1900 #pedant

        I think it's a verified person. Also that lady, Elizabeth, may now be the oldest, if confirmed. There may be older people without proof 😀

        Actually it is. There's this 146 yo man from Central Java, and two others older than him, 171 yo Nigerian and 163 yo Ethiopian.

        I don't know if they're confirmed, it's very easy to just say you're 300 years old when you're born in a country without proper records.
