The dude gets weekly dick injections which he classifies as 9.5 out of 10 on a pain scale.

Weekly.

Dude is a fucking moron.

9.5 out of 10. In his dick.

Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that's what it takes?

[–] DharkStare@lemmy.world 69 points 5 days ago (3 children)

"You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis."

Sounds like a cursed genie wish.

I truly hope that these people start getting massive organ failure and shit because of all of this experimental garbage they put into their bodies.

[–] probably2high@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

It's like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you've ever felt.

It sounds like the dude just has a CBT fetish and doesn't want to admit it.

He looks healthy enough to be a real snack for whoever gets to eat the rich

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Just not the dick. According to this article he gets weekly penis injections, but it doesn't say of what.

It's completely normal father-son bonding. Find a different slant.

On a related note, I was just searching fdroid for a signal app. I didn't find one, but I did find an app that tracks your Morning Wood

[–] antiquity2038@reddthat.com 26 points 4 days ago (11 children)

Didn't think you were serious.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

encouraging collaboration and innovation

Yes, let's "collaborate" in regard to our morning wood.

"Hay bro, would you mind 'innovating' with my erection this morning? No homo"

[–] MadBigote@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Lol and you're downloading it!

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Yep, thats the one

Edit: lol you're downloading it?

I'm about to be 40. I smoke. I don't exercise. I eat like shit.

I get erections like I was still in puberty and am horny pretty much 24/7. When the fuck does this shit stop?

i saw him on two separate youtube channels: Magnus Midtbø (norwegian climber) and Will Tennyson (bodybuilding vlogger)

in both cases, they were invited by Bryan Johnson to his lair, going through his routine. it felt like a surreal cringe fest of zero social awareness. Bryan was permanently looking for some kind of validation, comparing his skills to his guest, or asking the various personal trainers / doctors if he beat some younger age category, etc.

everything he does can't be healthy and i wouldn't call what he does "living". he's bound to a 24h program where everything is planned down to the minute.

Yeah, that's a perfectly normal thing to do.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

I don't mind this guy. He's basically committing his time, money, and body towards being a guinea pig exploring means that could benefit us all. I do understand there are some arguments to be had about some less-than-scientific approaches to his experiments, but I don't think it totally negates the value.

Also, oh no, talking openly about penis health is uncomfortable to puritanical Western norms.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Talking about your dick is one thing. Talking about your sons dick and using your sons blood is just fucking creepy. Hope the kid gets good therapy for this crazy shit.

Sucks for this guy. I’m close to his age, I drank and smoked heavily for years and I look about the age he does

I couldn't get through more than about a paragraph before getting prompted to subscribe so I'm still little confused.

Why get measurements of your child's erections in the first place? How does this son feel about his PHI being shared all over the internet? Hard to imagine anyone being okay with that.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 49 points 4 days ago (1 children)

i didn't get any prompts, and read the article, so i'll quickly answer.

  1. the guy is obsessed with penile behaviour as a measure of overall health, for some reason, and measured the nocturnal boners of himself, as well as his 19 year old son, as a point of comparison.
  2. the son shared his dick metrics himself. seems he's well and fully invested in his father's phallocentric longevity scheme.
[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Phallocentric longevity scheme is my new band name. PLS!

While I do kind of like the idea of having data on random bodily functions like erections, can't say I'd be willing to share that data with my parents or the world.
