Guy read too much Sanderson. Was trying to steal hybrid feruchemical powers
I don't know why these dudes want to look like they're choking on a shovel.
Proof they can take the biggest dicks.
Lol what a perfect description
How the hell you’d inject gold?
Colloidal gold. Bullshit supplement. Gold is almost a Nobel metal, doesn't really react with anything.
*does not really react with anything.
tetrachloroauric acid
That sounds like a fucking terrible idea good lord
TIL this 👆
This is what is known as a "bad idea"
As stupid as injecting random protein peptides.
Then claiming you are a victim of a rare autoimmune disorder.
Looksmaxxing is just a new name for body dysmorphia. The same shit that makes people puke their guts out after eating, or getting plastic surgery done over and over until they look like freaks.

The problem with all of these other influencers backing the claim that he'd become "supernatural" before his death will only keep the door open for other followers to copy this lifestyle, just believing this idiot just did something wrong that they can correct. So dangerous.
Bryan Johnson took synthetic peptides, which triggered an autoimmune disease that will kill him. Now he's claiming to be a random victim of a "rare disease".
Lance Armstrong inspired the world fighting cancer...which he caused to himself with a massive cocktail of hormones. US Postal hid the fact that he wasn't the only rider on the team to get testicular cancer.
That’s basically the entire history of magical and/or alchemical elixirs and potions. “Sure the previous emperor died after drinking the lead immortality elixir, but that’s just because he didn’t do it right”
Everyone is focused on body dysmorphia but after reading the article the entire thing sounds like a scam cooked up by the gold industry.
About That Idris Elba Gold Documentary Folding Ideas.
Colloidal gold has been a bullshit supplement for joint pain for decades.
Definitely a Darwin Award winner.
Article also reminds me of a Superman fanboy in my country going to huge costly lengths to look a lot like Christopher Reeve's Superman.
Some problems solve themselves.
People are so worried about women and body dysmorphia, but we should remember that men need help with dysmorphia too.
I didn’t know who this guy was before he died, but I read an article about things he was doing and saying. He was not okay. It seems like he was suffering from some kind of paranoia as much as dysmorphia.

I keep hearing the term looksmaxer and every time it's a person that looks like they were hit with a snow shovel repeatedly.

His artificial hairline looks worse than if he were bald. And wtf is going on with his jaw?
"Looksmaxxing has drawn criticism because some influencers promote dangerous techniques to change their appearance, including striking or damaging their jawbones and other risky practices."-from the article.
The looksmaxxing guys have a thing they call bonesmashing where they will hit their jaws with hammers or other implements in order to break it a little. This is done so they can reshape it as it heals. This is a repeated process. The jaw is broken and reshaped continually until they look a little more like the cartoonish over exagerated jawline of the chads from those chad memes. No I'm not kidding and no this is not done with any kind of medical supervision.

Conservatives have spent the last 50 years devaluing education. This is the result.
