I’m a school bus driver and a lot of my colleagues smoke. The ones in their 40s and 50s look 70+ and they’re just so … leathery. The ones older than that look like zombies.
My God…how do you drive around in a school bus as a smoker and not smoke for the entire route. That’s gotta be one of the most stressful jobs around, right up there with bomb squad technician. The shit you guys have to deal with.
As a parent of two kids…one loud and high-energy, the other a prime target for bullying…I appreciate what you do.
Also, I have 9 chickens and they are awesome. I keep wanting to take one to the bus stop on my shoulder like a pirate.
There’s been a general decline in recorded testosterone levels since the mid 20th. Other hormonal changes are purported as stemming from plastics, which we’re now just beginning to discover.
I think these are the culprits as to why people are starting to look younger. When a guy is juicing at the gym for a while he can start to look 80s old. Idk.
It’s because kids these days don’t smoke cigarettes. They really do make you look older.
Vapes and pouches just don’t do it the same. You need the tar.

You know, that actually makes a little sense. I smoked and I looked a bit more… worn when I was 18.
It’s hard to tell, some days, if our memories are sepia-toned, or nicotine-stained.
If the memories are from the seventies brown and orange might actually be the original colours before the nicotine patina or sepia effect…
