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

I am not sure why there is all the 'Ok Boomer' hate for this post. People must feel personally attacked for some reason and are lashing out.

This sort of misinterpreting the past humor can be really funny if you are interested in archeology. Publications such as The Journal of Irreproducible Results and books like The Wens are great for this.

People when women's boobs are small: -scoffs-

People when women's boobs are big: 'Attention whore.'

People women's boobs are implants: 'Fake ass hoe.'

People when women: 'You shouldn't be like that because it's unattractive to me and that's the only thing you're good for.'

Personally I don't care about size as long as they are real yeah that might be a bit harsh for people with fake ones but it's just more a type thing

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
- Boomer women are like this too tbqh
- It's funny to get angry about something like that.
Variants of this image are half the image reactions on Lemmy
- Judging by the quality of humor I've seen on here, half the users must be boomers.
- Yeah and who is at fault for that?

Wow the problem with modern society is still a sub-culture of women? Its crazy how that's been the main problem with society for the last 1000+ years

Today on misogynist lemmy:

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?
- I don't think you're a misogynist, but I think the picture can certainly come off that way. Here are a few reasons why:
  It's misrepresentative. Silicone lip implants are not common and obviously never that big. No woman has these; it's an exaggeration that has the effect of equating women with something ridiculous that doesn't exist. (The common injectable lip fillers are temporary and don't remain long after death.)
  No one else gets to decide for someone else what makes any procedure -- and in this case breast augmentation -- valid vs fake. Breast cancer survivors, trans people, and other patients getting reconstruction to live happy full lives would rightfully have something to say if you are implying that part of them is fake.
  We all alter our bodies in all kinds of ways, both temporary and permanent, in an attempt to look and feel better about ourselves.
  The picture focuses only on depicting a woman, even though men get calf implants, veneers, nose jobs, chin implants, etc. The image isn't being fair or insightful, but it is ridiculing and criticizing women who are different in certain ways; these are ways that men are different too, making the message hypocritical.
  I appreciate the respectful nature of the discussion and hope it continues.
- So first off it targets women getting cosmetic surgery and not really men getting them, since societally one is more accepted than the other. (Hair transplant vs boob job). The societal pressure to look a certain ideal is much higher on women than on men, and the ridicule women receive for surgeries done is disproportionally higher. So simply hiding behind "I meant all people not just women" when you very explicitly made fun of a (fictional) woman getting cosmetic surgery is just retrofitting a defense.
  Secondly, presenting it as a generational thing presents it as just that, not as a wealth inequality thing.
  Thirdly, body modifications (tattoos, piercings and surgeries) should not be ridiculed or shamed. They are part of how someone chooses to present themselves to the world and everyone should be free to do that just how they want. It doesn't matter how misguided you think it might be, not your body not your say. This ties neatly into fighting the transphobic idea that "any surgery will look fake and trans women can always be 'clocked'".
  I wrote more about the misogyny reinforced by "haha plastic surgery is for dumb bimbos" here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/15796191
- I am not the person you responded to. I just wanted to say that I stopped and thought, "wow, that stuff probably DOESNT decompose, huh?" as I scrolled. Thoughts of misogyny or wondering how old the poster must have been never crossed my mind, so I was surprised to see some of these comments. I guess it's nice it's such a talking point.
  Im glad you posted a detailed response on why you posted it either way, just in case anyone else was curious.
- 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.
  Then again, we are a bald ape (that almost died out) living outside their environment, needing clothes and housing to protect from the elements. Which then led to cities and agriculture. The rest is just convenience.
- ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for cupcakes
man can't get breast implants and lip fillers and nails and phone apparently 🙄
- Yes this meme is a clever subversion of gender stereotypes and not meant as a reinforcement thereof 🙄
My misogynist girlfriend found this funny too.
- 😐👍
Ah,yes
Just so you know: Alpha men exist too, and there are Penis extensions. So its not Mysoginy, its just Societal assholery, and since we live in a patriarchy, this „society” is mostly Men.

Archaeologists circa 2184 will have a much more interesting job.

Hmmm.... oddly, I feel like I'm having a Total Recall.
Makes me wish I had three hands.

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

More like people in the future can order any boob size they want made from their own cells for the price of a happy meal. Nobody will know if they are body mods since the lab grown boobs are indistinguishable from body grown boobs since they are made from human tissue. It will become ubiquitous. People will just change boobs sizes on a whim, since the surgery will take less than a day. Going on an ultra run? get the flat chest package the day before. Your partner has a big boob fetish? get the huge mammaries package for their birthday. Even men might get a boob job for a day because they want to go in drag on halloween.
- 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.
Lol, I doubt we'll let go of big boobs anytime soon.
Funnier is that the implants might shift/fall and archaeologists will think people enhanced their shoulders and the back of their necks.
Then, there will be a subculture that does shoulder and neck enhancements.
as to them always having existed, we have old skeletons with stuff like this done to them, Im not sure some implants found with a body would be much stranger.
- My goodness! Just looking at these images makes me feel a headache coming on.
wen mantis blades/cyberpunk stuff?
- We have to wait for the government to finish shitting the bed, then the corpos can take over and sell whatever bullshit the CEOs think it's rad.
Body mods will go the way of the dinosaur. It'll all be digital avatars or things like the "surrogates" movie.
- Surrogates was a terrible movie.

Does this person think fake nails are attached to your bones?

Haha literally w*men

Kinda rough to think of all women that way
- Not just women, but also wamen and wumen as well.

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.

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?)

Yeah now I'm curious if morticians remove this stuff and like medical metal stuff when they prepare people for burial.
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.
- So would silicon be subject to the same fossilization process as bones? Or whould it have a simmilar decay to cartilage?
Lip filler and botox, no. But breast implants can apparently last up to 500 years or something.
