    Did you know that because your feet are closer to the gravitational center of the earth your head ages faster than your feet?

      Gonna go ahead and add “how much farther did my head travel than my feet due to the curvature of the earth” to my list of weird statistics I want an answer to

        It would take something like a million years for your head to age more than a second. It’s a fun thing to tell people though lol

      A bat should be less affected by this uneven aging due to the whole sleeping upside down thing. They still spend some time upright so it balances out a little better than what you’d see with most of us who generally stay somewhere between prone/supine and standing up throughout the day.
