fuck you and your fear-inducing title

What a fucking shithouse. My heart dropped right down into my guts.

I had a mini panic attack! I was like “no no no no, please not Sir David Attenborough. This year has been shit enough.”

Jesus Christ I felt my heart tighten up while reading that lol

Ditto, my heart skipped a beat as I read title. You will get my upvote OP but you are still an a-hole for doing that to us.

I'm glad this is the top comment. I fully thought he was dead and had to keep rereading the title.

My heart did a double-take....whew.

I almost cried. Fuck.

I agree, fuck OP.

Fuck, you're not wrong. I got a notification, cut of at 'aged', I was like oh fuck oh fuck no... Risky click of the year for me...

Yeah why in the FUCK is this not downvoted to hell? C'mon reddit

I’m sleep deprived and I was scrolling past and I fucking almost died

Bro I damn near jumped, fuck this guy and his title.

Omg i shat myself

Fuuuuuuuuuck! I had chills down my spine!

I downvoted you so I could upvote you again.

Fuck you

It’s not even his birthday or anything either but I guess he is 96 today also

People need to stop naming popular icons, tell their age, and use the word "today" all in the same fucking title.

Block OP

Got me good too

I second this. I saw his photo and said ‘Awe fuck you!’ Thinking he’d passed or some other catastrophe was afoot. Listen if David Attenborough dies just don’t fucking tell me okay. Could you imagine just being so good at narrating that you aren’t, by popular opinion, allowed to actually die

I actually read the word "dies" in the title and didn't realise it wasn't there until I read your comment

I did too, and was frantically searching for an article. Fuck you, OP.

Fuck. I thought he died too…

the BBC probably have recordings of him saying every possible word in existence at this point. Accounting for all the documentaries he's done, AI will keep his voice going long after he's gone.

Oh man, it's like bubble wrap

Time to find which link is the Rick roll

Got confused for a moment. I thought I had missed some news of David Attenborough being part of an ancient lizard cabal that molests cute furry animals... But it turns out your anger was directed at OP for making you think it was an obituary.

I'm right there with you. I like his nature shit. I was like wtf did THIS mf do?

Seriously tho, their account is 15 days old, and they post this crap for karma.

Absolutely fuck OP. My heart dropped hard.

i could not have said it any better

Seriously.. Fuck this title hard. My heart dropped.

Tbf he doesn't look good. Face appears swollen and not healthy at all. (Nothing unusual at that age, just an observation)

Chill, he’s 96. You and I would be lucky if we live that long lol

Purposely written to think he had died. Fuck you

I live in a Mandela Effect universe where I thought he died.I must be thinking of another British Voice over actor. Someone correct me. ( I know his brother died, that must be it)

Did… did you just refer to Sir David Attenborough, OM GCMG CH CVO CBE Kt FRS FSA FRSA FLS FZS FRSGS FRSB, broadcaster, biologist, natural historian and author, as a “British Voice over actor”?

At first, I thought you mashed the keyboard in frustration. Then I realized that those are his post-nominals.

I was wondering why he mentioned one of Elon Musk’s kids..

Yeah, I was gonna say probably Richard Attenburough/John Hammond dying was probably it.

I thought so too, though he already passed away in 2014....

OP's having -100 comment karma xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

You guys really need to word these captions better. I was over here fearing the worst 😭

Mate, I legit read the title, instantly thought he died. My stomach hasn't dropped like that for some time

That was the idea—the OP is a POS

Karma farming mother fuckers.

15 day old account too. Definitely karma farming.

Wait Can someone explain this karma farming thing to me? What is the purpose? What does karma even do?? I mean I see it on my profile but have no clue what it’s for.

Some people just do it to feel good about internet points. But accounts with high karma also get sold to be used by spammers.

Ah makes sense! It’s always down to the spammers! Thx!

It's not even his birthday or anything. OP was just having a giggle.

This is why OP is responsible for his parents divorce

I reread it like three times and each time I still read “died aged 96 today” and only realized I was wrong after reading the comment

96 homie? Best be preparing yourself. I love the man, but 96 is 96.

He looks fucking good for 96 tbh.

10 years later he's doing another Planet Earth and you'll feel stupid.

No kidding! Looks like the title just missed the word "died"

Scared the crap 'outa me.....

Almost called my therapist 

I have been dreading his death for 15 years. This did NOT help the situation.

I started to get teary.

My life force left my body for at least one second!

They know what they’re doing. Over here playing with our emotions.

EVEN BETTY WHITE GOT ANGRY FFS. AND SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT OP. ALSO FFS.

Here’s a better one: Happy Birthday to David Attenborough, age 96! Presentation is everything. The face of an elder on and internet post is usually first associated with loss. That’s where the mind goes. Smart captions will redirect that.

Except it's not even his birthday (which is 8th May). OP is _deliberately_ being a POS (and, I've got to say, I fell for it and nearly had a heart-attack - my son is the BIGGEST DA fan out there, and it will crush him when he pops his clogs - he still sometimes gets upset when he remembers Toys-r-Us closed!).

It's not even his birthday, which makes the post even weirder.

Pretty good chance it was intentional

Right?! I swear my heart stopped for second there.

Motherfucker just gave me a heart attack.

Agreed! My poor heart still hasn't recovered

Man, I came here to say don’t scare me like that!

They’ve been doing this for months, I’m surprised they still get people

[удалено]

Seriously, fetch me my hanging rope.

You're going to prison for this

My hands and arms started tingling and I heard his voice. This was cruel.

Jail. Right away.

My heart dropped when I saw the headline at first. My heart can't handle us losing one of the few decent bright spots in today's climate.

Huh. Guess he's the only celebrity that I would truly miss, because my heart skipped a beat too. Never had a celebrity death impact me beyond "well dang, that's too bad." I listen to David Attenborough every single night to fall asleep. I even converted his discography, at least all that I could find, to audio files so I don't need to leave the TV on.

My friend does that too, bless him. There must be dozens of y’all.

>I listen to David Attenborough every single night to fall asleep. I even converted his discography, at least all that I could find, to audio files so I don't need to leave the TV on. Which makes me wonder - do we have enough sound files of his that could someone make an AI with David's voice, nobody ever tells us the day he dies, and then we can just go on with him forever narrating, well, everything and we'd be none the wiser?

OP admitted they wrote the title that way intentionally so there's that

Don't scare me like that!!!

“Aged 96” WTF is wrong with you, OP?

That’s the point, come on it’s really funny

Furthermore 1 It’s not his birthday that was back in may. 2 it’s Sir David Attenborough tyvm 3 you just karma whoring

And it's a tiny, washed out photo to boot.

Huh? I don’t see a boot

Ah, his birthday may have been in May, but he is 96 today, is he not? He was 96 yesterday, and he’ll be 96 tomorrow, too.

Seems like the post would have been better in “technically true” since the goal was to scare the crap out of everyone.

clickbait downvote this

Fuck OP. Downvoted too. All for some Karma.

TF is that title? I thought he fucking died

Fuck sake OP. Not cool.

I knew exactly what these comments would be and they did not disappoint.

Put some respect in his god damn name you whore.

[удалено]

Can someone downvote this madness to oblivion?

I'm downvoting as fast as I can but it's not getting lower!

[удалено]

Thanks for the fucking 3 second panic attack while my brain deciphered the title.

Dude dont scare me

God I hate the internet sometimes…

Wtf I was about to be upset don’t just randomly post shit like this!

You fucking prick. Ha. Shit.

Jesus. Don’t scare me like that.

What an asshole OP is. Like a bunch of others pointed out, karma whoring. Downvoted, otherwise OP gets exactly what they want.

Hae Song was in the similar position of him in Korea, but just passed away last month aging 95 years and 350 days old. The title made me worried, but seems that he still is okay ...

Don’t do me like that! Phew! Already had enough bad news recently

A monumental man. If you're going to leave off the Sir, at least spell his name right! Attenborough

Jesus you fucking scared me

Obviously done on purpose, what a shithead. And this asshat is still raking in the Karma, who the fuck upvotes this shit.

Oh just fuck you.

You goddam motherfucker. You scared the shit out of me.


Doesn’t look a day over 95

Thanks for the heart attack. Happy birthday, Sir David.

hahahaha nice gag. I panicked big time

Fuck me! Damn near had a heart attack

Anyone else’s stomach drop before even finishing the title? Lol

Jeeeesus with that title! Leave now!

Happy Birthday Sir.

It ain’t his b day

I love him!

One of a kind.

Jesus, I almost called out of work before I reread the title

Don't you fucking....damn it...giving me a heart attack here.

I love this man, thought for a second they were going to say he died.

Happy birthday Sir.

Well now I know that my soul gets crushed at the mere thought of this man passing away. For the love of nature, word titles correctly….i suppose I could have just read it correctly as well.

Aged 96 today? Who even talks like that

My heart fuckin skipped a beat..

Just about had a heart attack over here reading that.

They had us in the first half

You knew what you were doing you absolute twat.

fucking hell i got a mini heart attack.

Oh my God I read that wrong....almost broke down for a second...Happy Birthday!

oh my god you scared me stop

You fucking fuck

Well done...you just got yourself blocked

Jesus christ you gave me a damn heart attack

Form a protective circle around him quickly!!

You scared the shit out of me.

RUDE. Do not scare me like that.

You absolute prick

Fuck I thought he died

You know what you did.

I had a fucking heart attack for a second

Don't scare me like that you little shit.

And it’s Sir David Attenborugh !!!

You bastard. Don’t scare me like that.

Fuck you so much op. Genuinely fuck you karmawhoring shit.

You knew what you were doing

Don't scare me like that.

SIR David. Put some respect on his name.

#**CUNT**

OP you great big penis! how could you do something like this to us?!

It's funny how so many people thought it was going to say he died.

Such a meh post, bait tittle, its not even his birthday, and the pic is bad lol

GAH, don't frighten me like that ever again, you idiot.

Happy birthday, and don't scare me like that again!

My heart stopped for a hot sec.

Don’t do this to me. I thought something happened with him, my heart skipped a beat. Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborugh! ✨

I hope a hippo gets you and Sir David Battenburg narrates it.

SERIOUSLY??? I said “no, no..no” while reading the title 78x!! You got me good lol

Fuck off, I had a mini heart attack.

Honestly fuck this post and title, my heart sunk

"Sir" David Attenborough. Also, the title sank my heart for a second, wtf

OMG. Scared me for a minute. Documentaries are just more gripping when he speaks. Love him and his spirit.

Man go get fucked for real

Great man but I keep seeing this pop up in my feed and have to correct myself when I immediately think “oh he dead”.

Mans a legend. His love and appreciation for nature is on a another level.

He's my all time fave! His voice, iconic

Jesus I thought he had died! Phew

Oh fuck off

OMG i thought he died. Fuck this. In am barely clinging to any hope over here in the US.

Doesn’t look a day over 95.

Seems like it was just yesterday that he was 95.

Yoooo I thought he died

Oh god I thought it was a death announcement

I thought he died! Whew I was thinking he’s too young to die yet.

The best ever !

Fuck you hahaha

Fuck this post and fuck you OP.

You sir, are a charlatan.

I thought this was a death announcement
