Kickin' off with Adam's fam tree. The day God created humans, he made them mirror his vibe. Created them as a duo, male and female, blessed them up, and was like, "Y'all are Team Adam."

Adam was chilling for 130 years before he had a mini-me named Seth. Post-Seth, Adam was busy, lived another 800 years, popping out kids left and right. Total game time for Adam was 930 years. Then he checked out.

Seth, taking cues, was 105 when Enos entered the scene. Seth then hit the ground running for another 807 years, expanding the squad with more kids. Seth's final score was 912 years before he dipped.

Enos hit 90, welcomed Cainan, and kept the legacy going. After Cainan, Enos was on the scene for another 815 years, with the fam growing bigger. Enos's curtain call was at 905 years.

Cainan was 70 when Mahalaleel jumped into the picture. Post-Mahalaleel, Cainan was around for 840 more years, keeping the family tree lush. Cainan wrapped it up at 910 years.

Mahalaleel was 65 when he added Jared to the mix. After Jared, Mahalaleel stuck around for 830 years, adding more branches to the family tree. Mahalaleel's time was 895 years before he signed off.

Jared was 162 when Enoch came along. Post-Enoch, Jared was in it for another 800 years, not slowing down on the family front. Jared clocked out at 962 years.

Enoch, keeping it light, was 65 when Methuselah entered the chat. After Methuselah, Enoch was tight with God for 300 years, still expanding the fam. Enoch's total run was 365 years before Gid was like, "You're coming with me." Enoch was on such good terms with God, he just vanished—God-level ghosted.

Methuselah was 187 when Lamech came into the picture. After Lamech, Methuselah kept things moving for 782 more years, more kids on the way. Methuselah set the record with 969 years before logging off.

Lamech was 182 when he introduced his son named Noah to the world, saying, "This guy's gonna be our chill pill for all the hard labor thanks to that cursed ground." After Noah's debut, Lamech was around for another 595 years, keeping the fam tradition. Lamech's final logout was at 777 years.

Hitting the big 500, Noah started his own squad with Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
