Is Fry the oldest person on Earth? (lemmy.world)

I would think that the technology for cryo freezing people would have been newish by 1999, so there probably aren't too many people from before then who woke up in 3000. There may have been a few people who froze and unfroze around the same time, so he may not be THE oldest, but I think that he's the oldest person in the series

If forward time travel counts, then yes by a large margin.

But is it time travel? He is just frozen, in hibernation so to say.

I think they are referring to when they took the long way to go back in time, by going forward and looping around.

Ah that makes more sense.

I totally forgot about that. That would make him the oldest person in the universe, no?

Unless time is a curve and not a straight line
