Humankind has achieved some remarkable feats in 2019 – Japanese astronomers have bombed an asteroid, the first molecule formed in the history of the universe has been detected, and a new primitive human species has been unearthed.

While one might laugh it off as marks of wisdom, it is time to come back down to Earth – nobody wants to look his actual age and look like he did not come up tops in the game of life, especially with the daily nine-to-five grind.
