42100M

42100M is a methuselah with a lifespan of 42100 generations, discovered by Dave Greene on October 31, 2018, using Adam P. Goucher's apgsearch and Catagolue tools.[1] Until the discovery of 42883M ("Homer"), it was the longest-lasting known methuselah to fit within a 16×16 bounding box, surpassing the 20×20 soup Wilma which was discovered by Rob Liston just three days earlier.

gollark: Here is a sample of my excellent work.
gollark: It works fine now. Weird.
gollark: Helpful!
gollark: They're simply bad.
gollark: There's plenty of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and plenty of light, and I forgot what else plants use as input but there's probably lots of it, yet plants do not even approach using all of it?
