I mean to be fair I feel like various body modifications have always existed and probably will always exist. At most this will probably just look dated once everyone moves onto wanting spiky foreheads or something instead of bigger boobs
wen mantis blades/cyberpunk stuff?

The real scary thing about those rings is that they can’t actually be taken off. Wear them long enough, and the neck muscles atrophy to the point where you’re incapable of holding up your own head. Take the rings off and your head flops over like a wet noodle.

Seriously the lamest boomer humor. I can see my angry conservative uncle posting this, nothing better to do than tear people younger than him down

Trixie, that you? As long as they had a good time
(Also because I am curious: do implants really last longer than human skin and organs?)
Well, it looks like subcutaneous injections off silicones do see small molecules of it wrapped in vacuoles in the blood (though the injections are of fluids, so can’t be certain of the breakdown of more solid forms [https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6358378/]). Silicones do burn, producing silica powder, which means it is subject to oxidation-reduction reactions in some manner. Some silicones break down readily in organic processes. The wikipedia article notes clay as being particularly catalytic. The medical grade silicones don’t have even that little bit available for long term study (especially of the thousands of years variety you’d need for this picture), but I’d take a wager even they would eventually decay. Buuuut, the decay would likely be slower than skin/organs.

All alien archeologists will find on our planet is the KPg layer marking the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs … and another thin layer of radioactive rock and soil evenly dispersed across the planet that marked the end of our period on the planet.

She was sick and tired of them always falling off and got them surgically attached the last time she went in for her regular botox injections.

Lip filler and botox, no. But breast implants can apparently last up to 500 years or something.

Body mods will go the way of the dinosaur. It’ll all be digital avatars or things like the “surrogates” movie.

Hmmm… oddly, I feel like I’m having a Total Recall.

Not really against younger people, we have 70 year old stars with these augmentations.

Yeah. My wife had her implants taken out after 30 years; They looked brand new. Plastics are not forever, but last a very very long time.

It’s one of those status things. They don’t have to take the rings off because they’re wealthy. Fair skin or white cloths meant you didn’t do manual manual outside. Nowadays, tan skin means you have enough downtime to either go to the beach or tanning salon.

The phone is the keystone for the young comment. Even though ime boomers use their phones more than younger generations, I see more boomer memes about “phone use hahaha” than any other
