    Sean is always cool, but I wonder how Thomas would look had he been smoking a pack a day for 20 years too.

      Is this really it? I thought the non smoking would be compensated by the increased pollution of everything

        There’s significantly less air and water pollution now than the past, with the only exception being microplastics. We haven’t found many short-term impacts from that yet, though

            Considering back then they had asbestos, lead, etc, we’re still a lot better off now, I think. A lot of our stuff now is “this increases risk” whreas a lot of stuff then was “this causes literal organ failure”.

          Thanks for the informative response. I’m a bit confused by the graphs given, that track emissions and not air quality itself. Would you know why?

            AQI is highly variable by locale and hour. It averages out in the end, but measuring regional and global emissions is a better way to compare disparate time periods, except for areas at the extremes.

                To begin, it does accumulate in the region where it is created, but of course it diffuses over time, so 10 pollution could be 7 locally and 3 globally. The heavy elements (soot) never get very far and naturally fall out of the air. Some elements are broken down by sunlight. Some bind to rain and are washed into the ground. If pollution is constant, you reach an equilibrium in the air quality. Decreasing output slowly lowers that equilibrium and improves the air quality in the end.

        Pollution was probably another contributing factor; I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a lot worse in the 60s than it is now: a lot of environmental controls got put in place in the intervening decades. Remember, there was leaded gasoline everywhere, and acid rain scares and the ozone layer depletion in the 80s.

        I’m sure sun exposure also plays a role, everyone wears SPF 8000 sunblock now, while they were putting on tanning oil back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s

        It’s a combination of many factors over time. Diet, sun exposure, smoking. Lots of things we have more information about now than we did then. Medicine is better, genetics, etc.

    But tell people that millennials look younger than previous generations and people lose their shit.

    Part of it, I’m sure, is that Thomas has babyface. Part of it, too, is that people don’t smoke cigarettes, or drink as much as they used to, or generally live as hard of lives. Living through the 2000s, for example, isn’t really as complicated perhaps, or troubling, as living through the Great Depression and World War II and the Cold War.

      I’m so deeply offended by this post not meeting my exacting criteria for what a shit post is. How could OP not have consulted me? Me! The arbiter of all that is true and good on the Internet. Shame on your house, OP! You will be Blood Eagled by a team of dachshund ninjas for this transgression!

    Some people used to be born old. That’s just how the world worked. Also, stupid fashion. Have you seen a photo of a woman college student in the 80s? They look 40.

    “Autism face” is a thing that makes you look way younger than you should. I know I’ve got it. It’s weird being carded at 37.

    These pictures are due to two things; genetics and lighting. Even though dude on right looks younger generally, if he was photographed in the same light as Connery they would look much closer in age.

      You can see the shadow on the wall behind him. There is a light below his eyeline. That’s called a beauty light, and it hides wrinkles by lighting the areas that would be in shadow from lights above.

      But smoking also has a lot to do with it.

      He was the kid in Love Actually who learned the drums. I think he also reprised the role in Red Nose Day Actually.

      More recently he was the dude in The Queens Gambit. I forget if he was a love interest or an antagonist but he was in it.

    Thomas is like a genetically engineered femboy for Hollywood billionaires.

    No need to go out and molest nubile young boys in the Caribbean, this bad boy is of legal age and doesn’t look a day past 15.

    Like a human version of a toy dog, but with a genetically superior busy.

    That’s what smoking and sun exposure can do to a person. Smoking especially ages you fast.
