No one will be fat in 2050 unless they're not on ozempic. Every dude will be taking growth hormones. People will work out in a small gym and only go outside when they want to show off their body at the beach or trail. At least, that's my prediction for Socal.

Tell me more about growth hormones

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's what turned Joe Rogan and Elon Musk into potatoes.

It's common for rich men to take that or testosterone to recapture their youth. There's also a good chance they'll travel to turkey and get hair implants.

There is no way they went to Turkey. They rich enough to get it done at home.

Fair. But I'd argue they got rich by being cheap, somewhat . They'll come from privilege, but get cheap. I'm a little biased because I live in socal, but rich people like brag to poor people about how they went to a foreign country to get work done. It's supposed to encourage the "grind set." They could've gone here, but mexico or turkey is cheaper, regardless of personal safety or health standards. It's their version of "diversity," but they're just saving money at their own risk. If you NEED work done, go for it. But nah, there's a whole thing here going in socal. I'm not trying to talk about where I live too much, I just think socal is one of the most influential cultural epicenter of the world. Californication.

I think predicting the end of money is extremely optimistic.

Ozempic is cool but it isn't the end-all therapy for weight and weight loss. A more profound control of metabolites, betametabolites, body growth and development gene expression, and general dietary options will be the future for sure, though.
