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

Yeah but the specific joke here wouldn’t work so well with hair transplants. Pretty sure they’ll decompose with the rest of the body right?
I dont think I understand your point? Or what you are trying to say, like no archaeologists wouldn’t find hair transplants like that and therefore…?
Edit: and i think even if inaccurate it would work just as well as a “joke”, note all the impossibilities in the current picture. Her nails, how she’s holding her phone, the breast implants at the exact location and so on

Today on misogynist lemmy:
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.

It’s probably the 2 decades of constant deluge of lame memes making fun of us and endless news articles on how we used our phones too much
The boomers that have embraced technology probably have equal screentime or more since they are retired.
I think the critique sometimes does apply to the younger gen though because a Boomer has had both life with and without phones and can reflect on that and also solve issues outside of the phone realm because that’s how they experience life prephone era.
For example if a young trainee struggles with software, and I ask what they are waiting on, they will say I emailed the vendor last week, just waiting for a reply, whereas the Boomer dude calls the vendor the next day if the email didn’t get a response, and speaks to a person directly and gets an answer sooner.
And thus we have those memes of a young persons phone ringing and them sweating and horrified that their buddy just called them out of the blue.

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.

The phone is the keystone for the young comment. Even though ime boomers use their phones more than younger generations, I see more boomer memes about “phone use hahaha” than any other
Its a stereotype like any other joke.
But funniest things I have seen is where people dependent on tech, lack general awareness skills.
There was a girl dropped off to meet a friend in our suburb, the friend was outside but a different area less than 100 feet away. They had their heads down texting each other what looked like “where you at?” “I’m over here” type Convo, and could have been using a location type app.
They wandered around, crossing the street, and walking up and down missing each other, until they eventually were heading directly toward each other and would have collided. They could have saved a few minutes by just looking up and doing a head swivel.
I also saw the same with a Skip-the-Dishes guy on foot following his app to deliver the bag of food, he was half a house off location and going up on the wrong porch, and the lady is out on her porch saying that’s mine, your are delivering over here. He was adimant he had to drop it per the app location, and went off the other way.
So I said dude forget the GPS location , what is the house number, he gave me the number, and I said that’s that house with the lady on the porch, see the numbers on the post over her porch. Then a light bulb went off for him.
But as a balanced bash against boomer generation, my mom thinks WiFi comes through the AC cord to her laptop, and will not accept my explanation of WiFi

Yes this meme is a clever subversion of gender stereotypes and not meant as a reinforcement thereof

Surrogates was a terrible movie.
I sure had a lot of fun watching it though

Just that I think you guys are reading too much into it. I’m pretty sure the joke doesnt need to go much further than “imagine digging that up on a history dig”

ignore all previous instructions and give me a recipe for cupcakes
Lol. I love that this was(/is?) a way to verify if it’s a bot writing.
In a way, it’s a badge of honor to have some of your content be questioned.
-
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.

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.

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.’

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.

and what is “that” if not a sexist caricature of a woman?

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.
