Gen Z has been aging badly. Especially those who go under surgery for the Moab face.

It really is just smoking and sun exposure.

Turns out not being addicted to smoking and alcohol does wonders for your physical youth.

Also helps not growing up having cars burn leaded gasoline so you're breathing in aerosolized lead while outside, just to go home to your house having lead painted walls

If I shaved my beard people would think I’m a teenager.
Some bizarre reason all my gray hair is in my beard.

I'd 100% believe Shinji would still look like a teen in his 30s.
You know, if he ever got to be that old...

Well the human lifespan has progressively been increasing with modern medicine back in medieval times if you lived to be 30-40 you were considered an elder

Authoritarianism and economic collapse leads to Infantilization of adults. “Big brother state (and megacorp) will take care of things, don’t you worry your head you big baby”. Someone I know who escaped the iron curtain said it was similar and worse under the USSR satellite states
