If humans would invent anti-aging technology, family pictures would look like groups of friends who happen to share the same last name.

    LMAO, It could also be multiples, or clones with different names and genders

    This is exactly that scene in the movie “In Time” where the guy introduces his wife, his mother, and his daughter and they all look the same age.

    Oh god no. That would mean that politicians would be there even longer.

    If we stop aging, there would be very few new families

    Reminds me of a dnd joke picture I saw somewhere. A group of half-elves posing with an elf who appears younger than them, but Is actually their grandmother

    That actually makes sense. I wonder though if it will affect the way that family members treat each other. For example, it’s natural to show respect to someone who looks much older. But if everybody looks the same age, perhaps grandparents and grandkids would just talk to each other like they’re just buddies lol.

    That doesn’t make any sense lol

    You can have family members the same age as you. Siblings? Cousins?

    Wouldn’t it depend on when people choose to start using the technology? Like some people might want to be 18 forever but others might want to age to their 20s and 30s ect ect

    More like a massive group of cousins

    That would be the least of my worries. We don’t have nearly enough resources to take care of so many people. Imagine no1 dying for like 100 years

    Uh, no? Many families would have people looking veeeery similar.

    I just know the rich would keep it to themselves to live forever and would gatekeep it at all costs

    It would be so weird plus you’ll forever be a child in your parents eye mental and physically

    Doesn’t this assume we all would want to stop aging at the same age?

  19. selkieisbadatgaming Avatar

    Probably look more like siblings or cousins.

    With these damn filters, we’re pretty close to that reality. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell who’s the parent and who’s the child.

    It’s already becoming increasingly difficult to gauge how old someone is these days. I can’t imagine how people these days will look in their 80s and 90s, but we’ll find out soon enough.

    Very upsetting thought.
