*'What a weird period of time they lived in.'*

lol make up on the eye bones

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.

Archaeologists circa 2184 will have a much more interesting job.

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.

Surrogates was a terrible movie.

Wasn’t that bad! I could definitely see humanity getting to that point.

The mysterious “tits and ass” perioid, right before our machine overlords emerged.

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

It was pretty bad and all the problems were changes from the comic. The comic had the timetable for everything much more believable and went into the benefits of surrogates.

Variants of this image are half the image reactions on Lemmy

That bag strap wouldn’t hold up that long

Plastics make it possible!

Today on misogynist lemmy:

Boomer women are like this too tbqh

Kinda rough to think of all women that way

Hmmm. I don’t see myself as a misogynist. And don’t quite understand why I would be considered one for posting this content. (Was it because I didn’t find a male equivalent to share as well?)

I found it was ‘punching up’ at those who spend thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars, to fake their reality. That being said, I understand the feeling of insecurity about your looks, as I’m a balding man. I could have spent the money to use Rogaine or a similar product when I started to go bald early on. But after a few years of thinking about it (back then), researching people’s takes for and against it, the cost to maintain it and finally, what kind of person I would consider myself if I did so. I ended up on the long road of accepting who I am. It hasn’t been easy, especially in my 20s, when your appearance means so much more. But in the end, I’m glad I didn’t go down that path. I’ve come around and have accepted that this is me, and I’m fine with the lack of hair. (It sure cuts down on haircut costs haha.)

The bigger problem I have overall and why I ended up posting this image, was that I wanted people to A, have a laugh at the unrealistic and realistic sides of things depicted. B, spend some time thinking about their purchasing habits and more so, of what they purchase. And C, bring into question the ‘fakeness’ that our civilizations have been living in. And no, it’s not just women who are living a ‘fake’ life or more ‘fakeness’ than men are. That’s not my stance on this. My stance is that it’s ridiculous how many “things we need” to live a good life or better. Of course, that opens things up into a philosophical debate of what ‘is needed,’ but I have yet to find another species that needs a variety of tens/hundreds of thousands of things to work out, to live a good life on this planet. (And that’s another thing, we’re not the only species on this planet. So what gives us the right to generate and ‘dispose’ of these toxic products, byproducts, etc.?)

This is just a starting point for discussion.

I’d like to hear from you @mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone about the topic at hand. But first, why do you think I’m a misogynist?
