Shouldn't they be able to find his parents grave, carbon date their remains, and correlate his age?
Blamblam101
Haha that cigarette. Don't walk into that light, old man.
TisNagim
Unverified Oldest man, wiki points out that no independent group has confirmed his age
Henrybigmuscles
Yeaaah there's some Asian guy doing this every odd year
jewtube1234
He's in better shape than me
HOLYFUCKINGSHITIJUSTWANTACOOLUSERNAME
Scout97
Yeah if you do a little it of research you will see that his age is not confirmed.

Well i better give up smoking then... no fuckin way i wanna live that long.

He fkn LOOKS 146.
herzogsnightmare
Almost certainly a hoax.
Cinemageddon
I know enough about Indonesia to suspect otherwise. The doc is probably incorrect as even these days they flub birth dates on purpose 1/2
Cinemageddon
for religious reasons, among other things. It's probably an approximate because in Indo you MIGHT get one birth cert ever, and they 2/3
Cinemageddon
don't print more for you or keep it on file like in the US. You lose it, you guess it from that point forward. Considering his age, my 3/4
Cinemageddon
guess is they lost it long ago around WW2 era-ish, and at some point in more modern times, he needed an ID for something so they just 4/5
Cinemageddon
made up a birth date for him and went from there. There's no way they can independently verify it. He's obviously very old, but not THAT old

Probably they mistyped and he's born in 1970. He gets that look by smoking cigarettes 16 hours a day.

I just googled it and the oldest living person was 122???
NotAPervert
A key factor: she had a comparatively stress free life. Basically never had to work a day, ever, didn't have a crazy amount of kids
Theresmyothersock
Google 'oldest living person in the world' and it brings up others but after scrolling you'll get to the Indonesian man
NotAPervert
She only quite smoking at age 117, having started at 21, because her arms were too tired to light a cigarette and didn't want to ask any one
Fredfinks
bc this is bullshit
DoctorNothing00
And French!
Salpinus
So she's singing the national anthem each time she sees a white flag? ;)
Salpinus
JK though. Foreign legion and specialised forces (at least - have no clue about regular army) are good :)
SherMattLockSmith
That is because she is the oldest with actual documents of birth date from the time of birth. There have been many claiming to be older 1/2
SherMattLockSmith
2/2 but none with documentation from their actual birth, it is all after the fact years later that they got ID with birth date on it.
neutronfish
Yes because theoretically, without any intervention, the human body can physically last just 125 years, so 122 is reasonable, 145 is not.
FsImgur
I've watched the people on Intervention and none of them are gonna make it anywhere near 100.

No, it wouldn't. Your body stopped rebuilding itself so it's very fragile and will slowly start to break down under any stress.

Aging doesn't magically stop, it's a process caused by the fact that cells don't regenerate as quickly, so wear and tear sets in
RedundantPleonasm
Yeah Sragen authorities were renowned for their statistics dept. in the 1870's!
andtheseashalltell
Actually, it was a Dutch colony then, and they had excellent records. There's still no way this is real, but that's not because of that.
SteveNotSteve
Yes, it was a Dutch colony. But I wonder if they recorded the births of rural people. Remember that everyone at that time was born at home.
RedundantPleonasm
Now I feel kinda bad that my comment got 500 more points than yours...
ShaolinWill
Plot twist, probably 35 year old smoked a pack a day since birth.
Vaenaemoenen
I was thinking the same. He might be 90, but smoking for 80 years makes you look like that.
thorboy86
My grandmother turns 99 this year and had been smoking since she was 13. Doesn't look bad at all for almost a century old.

icameforthedownvotes
Also the 31st of Dec seems a lil fishy...
SHwannabe
At least with refugees who don't know their birth date, they are registered as having been born 31.12. I would guess it's like that here too
SHwannabe
That would mean that the birth year might also be off some years. Even if the ID is legit otherwise.
ChristopherKostyshyn
You know, people are born on every day of the year...
icameforthedownvotes
like everybody who gives a fake birthday on the internet doesnt use 01/01... might be similar here
ChristopherKostyshyn
That's true out of convenience, but some of us are actually born on these "convenient" days.
icameforthedownvotes
Hence I'm saying it isn't certainly fake, but just fishy. You know full well what I mean and are just nitpicky. Happy birthday NewYear boy.
Duxerto
Not really sure I'd count a drivers license as "official documentation" considering undeveloped countries in that 19th century didn't record
twerkinlurker
Dude look at him
LightStriker
145 years old and still driving? Hmmm...
HalfBreed24
Do they take your license when you stop driving?
LightStriker
Yes, so you don't try to drive if you're no longer able to. This pic says they renewed it in 2014.
whatthehellalltheusernamesaretaken
Thats not a driver's license though. Its a national citizenship ID where they look up his birth certs and relevant docs.
Zorroinabox
My mom's birth on Miyako island in Okinawa wasn't reported for 6 months so her "official" Bday is in Feb, but she was born in Aug yr. Before
BeringerRD
Eh you'd be surprised even in the 70s how poorly records were kept.
DisenfranchisedSovietBear
The 1870s?

Them too
CloisteredMoistOysters
According to my Malaysian documentation I was born 7 months before my birth. Only takes 1 clerical error.
legalimmigrant
He drives!?!!!
binturonginborneo
Thats not drivers livense, its a...how to say...citizen ID? We have different ID for driving license
Booninpo
Yeah my dad's license says he's a older than he is, he just wanted to drink when he was 17, this is in Australia btw
LadyHaywire
Sorta the same with my dad, his driving license is a year older than his passport as he wanted to drive when he was 16.
MadMac360
My granddad died in 2008, to this day we don't know how old he was, we say 90ish. We're not even in an undevoloped country, we're Canadian.
YoungJables
Hell, they got the birthday wrong on my license in the united states. Granted it was only a 1 year difference but still wrong.
L0rdAv0n
they don't even put my full name on mine just my first initial and my last name.
GreenerWithTheScenery
Fuad?
YoungJables
The person who made my license just made a mistake is all. Guess they type it in manually and hit a wrong key.
GreenerWithTheScenery
Oh ok. I knew a guy named fuad that when he moved here they put the wrong birth year on his papers
YoungJables
Oh, I thought you just mistyped fraud. But no I'm not fuad.
FletchCANADA
What do you mean "that" 19th century????
Duxerto
Yea, well I still got about 20x more points on that comment than you've gotten combined in two years. Are you sure you're Canadian?
Jointi5
1870 was a year in the 19th century.
FuckMeFuckYou
I think he/she meant why does it say "THAT 19th century," as in, there are more than one?

Cut him in half and count his rings to be sure.
UmmNoSoz
Either you've got confused or are racist for calling him a tree because he's black... hopefully the first...
kojinko
Aqua teen my brother!!!!
revivelocalmultiplayer
You don't have to cut a tree in half to count its rings! Just take a 'core sample' by cutting cylindrical section through the trunk.
JoeT85
you could get a core sample from his brain. it'd leave him mostly intact, and since the brain regenerates, he'll be fine in a few months.

I'm still so happy people are starting to hear about him. He's been around for like 20 years and is just now blowin up.

I don't listen to him as much as I listen to Eminem or Tech N9ne, but his flow and understanding of words is off the fucking charts.

Been a fan of his for nearly a decade. His music really helped me through some tough shit. He's a hero of mine for sure.
