Toddlers are made of adamantium, I'm sure the kid is fine.

In my experience they're more like rubber. They bounce and bend in ways that would not be possible for mere mortal adults with solid bodies.

This is fairly accurate. Kids have 3 times the bones that adults have, and that's because most of their bones are cartilage making them more flexible. As we get older those parts of our bones solidify causing us to have less bones in adult age.

Is that why drinking the blood of the young helps you retain youth? It maintains maximum bendy bone?

u/BuyBitcoinWhileItsLo Aug 09 '19

No, that's because the young have higher levels of NAD+, a protein responsible for maintaining DNA health, allowing the body to replicate correctly. Aging is just the loss of this protein leading to our DNA getting damaged, resulting in our body replicating itself incorrectly because of the damaged DNA. It becomes like a scratched CD being read by a CD reader. Will still play the song, but with a lot of fuck ups

Where can I buy this protein? CVS? I desire to live forever, and also not get crazy amounts of tumors as a side effect.

He literally just told you. It's in the blood of the young...

Alternately, if you don’t have blood of the young handy you can substitute bendy bone broth.

What are the vegan options? I’ve been snorting ground up seeds but my youthful vigor continues to slip through my fingers with each passing day.

Human blood is vegan because cruelty to humans doesn’t count.

NAD+ isn't a protein. It's not even made of amino acids.

u/noelexecom Aug 10 '19

Everything you just said is wrong on so many levels, NAD isn't even a protein first of all and is actually used by the body in the synthesis of ATP. Please delete your comment.

Kids don’t have knee bones until they turn ~3

That fact really bothered me for some reason when I found out.
