To humans, tardigrades are "cool", we can stretch out our lifespan if we want to.
↓
That is something they strive for.
To them a life of 90 years long is not long enough,
how funny.
I am quite content with my lifespan of 2 years.
↓
I don't need to stretch it out, I would if I have to.
Then I enter a dormant state, which is called cryptobiosis.
.....
When I enter this state,
I am neither dead nor alive.
↓
I am just there,
not really being aware of it all.
.....
This could take some years,
maybe 20 if my habitat
continues to be inhabitable.
