Now do the opposite and make some teens cry, or at least, moisturize and use sunscreen daily.

Nah, teens haven't known that person yet. This is emotional because of nostalgia. ...And not knowing that it was gone. I am not trying this one.

  My forties were _so far away_ in my teens, like impossibly far away. But on this side of it, it really doesn't seem like all that long ago. Time isn't the same over here.

    Supposedly that effect continues, the first third of life feels longer than the last two subjectively (at least I've heard that claimed). Wouldn't surprise me if it's a mixture of processing speed slowing down making things feel like they're moving faster and just the fact that each year is a small percentage of your life. Maybe also less variety day to day as an adult, fewer big changes. You can test the clock speed thing and there's some evidence for it (ask different aged people to estimate when a minute has passed, stuff like that).

      I dunno if that test would really get to it. Presumably people have an updating idea of what a minute feel like, unless they stopped interacting with clocks in their teenage years.

      The watched kettle never boils. Kids are impatiently waiting to grow up, to get through their teens so they can drive cars, earn money, live freely. The average school day is a long day at the office. I recall sitting in class day-dreaming about not sitting in class.

        Yeah, I’d guess prison time also feels pretty long. Children in modern culture serve a pretty long sentence (depending on how good your parents are I suppose).

And petroleum jelly to keep the moisture in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transepidermal_water_loss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transepidermal_water_loss

nope. That filter already happened years ago on snapchat. It doesn't have the same effect at all. Teens can see themselves as old all day long and it is impossible for them to really react to it in the same way because it hasn't happened and there are no memories or experiences of being that person. Going the other way tho...

Ah yes... I remember FaceApp and in20years.com or whatever they were called. Back then, it was a novelty. "Cool, that's what I'll look like when I'm a big grown-up!" we all thought. How things change...

Does moisturizing matter over the long term?
