What about those people who can hold their breath for longer than two minutes?

They're playing at half speed
This has to be the right answer
We should all help them upgrade!
Zombies, dâh!
You technically have 2 mins (plus x seconds you badass) to live but every time but every time you breathe it restarts the timer.
What about the World record of about 10 minutes?
World record is closer to 24 minutes underwater
That depends a bit on the ruleset. According to Guinness (where hyperventilating with pure oxygen beforehand is allowed), it's 24:37.36. According to the freediving organisation AIDA (where pre-breathing oxygen isn't allowed), it's 11:35
Sounds so unreal to be able to hold breath for so long
Except, if you refuse to breathe, you won't die, you'll just pass out and start breathing again...which kinda kills the tension implied by the meme.
It never mentions breathing voluntary/consciously, though. It is technically correct
Technically correct is the best ki... Wait where am I?
I can hold my breath for 4 minutes. Does that mean I'm technically living more life than the rest of you?
Might have a longer life expectancy.
But like for real, that probably means your body gets better oxygenation which would make you a bit healthier, on average.
If you only took 1 breath every 2 minutes you would be what they call in France "le dead."
It doesn’t say you only breathe once every two minutes, though.
You just reset the timer more frequently than once every two minutes. It doesn’t change the fact you only have two minutes from each breath.
With the essence of chlorine gas its again 2 minutes time without the reset part💀
Or carbon monoxide
About to die? Breathing is the solution.
You can power charge the timer when you breath in pure oxygen.
