    1. @alamortsubiteJun 2024· in “The flip-flop on whether alcohol is good for you (2023)”

      You'll probably enjoy this clip from the Woody Allen movie Sleeper, where his character is revived 200 years in the future after being cryogenically frozen in 1973. Just watch the first minute or so. this video

    2. @delbelMar 2018· in “Nicotinamide riboside effects on aging similar to caloric restriction”

      Smoking cigarettes would do it. Nicotine + Oxygen right? Who knew the movie Sleeper had it right, keto diet and tabacco. this video

      Sleeper. He wakes up hundreds of years in the future, and starts asking for health foods. From the early 70s. this video
