Also waaaaaaaay less drinking

My brother is an early 70's born gen x, I'm a late 80's born millennial. From what I've seen drinking and smoking being publicly accessible and socially acceptable made them way more prevelantly indulged in.

But it isn't? It's crazy how Lemmy just overconfidently states this multiple times even it's actually sun exposure that aged people so much back then .

Also having kids.

Also pesticides were even more unregulated than they are now. Remember how they just sprayed DDT everywhere in the 40's till the 70's. Even on directly on people. Shit had multigenerational consequences, even grandchildren of people who had a high exposure to that stuff are being affected.

ever since i found out about this a few years ago i'm telling everyone i meet: there's fantastic medication against hair loss, and it even causes side effects! such as mild boob growth

note that only some meds to that, while others do not.

It isn't cigarettes. It's being outside in the sun a lot more that really ages. Cigarettes are can but don't age people nearly as much as UV does.

Just watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Nicholson was 38 during filming. I thought he looked 50 too.

I have the body of the left but the clothing of the right.

And the gabagool

Not stress, smoking, drinking and no sunscreen does that to you.

I don’t think stress is any less, but actually more than in the 90’s

George Costanza was in his 30s throughout the run of seinfeld

Tony was 41 per the pilot script but the actor was 38.

AJ is now 41 in 2026.
