      I mean, relatively they do. If an elf lives 750 years (which is what Google says DnD elves live for) then the 80 years a human lives would be even less than the 20 years a cat lives relative to humans.

      And that's actually part of the joke with this character. Being immortal, he hasn't needed a firm grasp on time or how long something will take or how long something will live, so he comically under and over estimates spans of time.

    Ironically enough, while a parody this is actually a pretty good example of what the Undying Lands are like in the Tolkien-verse. Unchanging and eternal, where immortals are free to pursue their wants for unbroken centuries at a time. It's also a pretty good example of why even Tolkien himself said that the races of men would not do well in the Undying Lands, since everything would seem strange and unchanged until in nearly the blink of an eye one would find oneself old and dying with nothing having changed.
    Knowing that Brennan is a big Lord of the Rings fan, it does not at all surprise me that he created a massive parody of "unchanging, eternal elves out of touch with mortals" that's also a fairly faithful example of the thing he's poking fun at. True parody comes from deep understanding after all

    800,000 thread count sheets are theoretically possible but would feel terrible! High thread counts are a lie anyway, manufacturers pull apart the threads and then twist them back together so each Thea’s can be counted more than once. It ruins the integrity of the fabric and makes it rougher. 600 is the sweet spot for sheets, enough to be sturdy and crisp without being too stiff, and not a lie.
