allowing children to have medical treatments which are not necessary for their health to appease that they feel they are in the wrong body. i truly do believe we will find this to be wrong eventually.
I wonder if we’ll feel that way about chemotherapy. At this time it’s the best option we have, but in the future perhaps our descendents will think it barbaric.
Real answer is going to be meat/dairy industry. Pretty crazy shit going on there that we accept as a necessity and will definitely be looked back on with scorn
We are going to look back in 50 years and be in horror at all the genocide happening we ignored while bitching about really dumb stuff. And we will be judged I imagine just like we judged the people we have judged in the past.
Honestly, my guess is vaping weed. Clinical studies show that high THC cannabis can cause neurological disorders later in life. Plus cancer, it can definitely give you cancer.
Reminds me of That scene in star trek 4 the voyage home when Dr. Leonard Mcoy is arguing with the present day surgeon.. “my God man, you don’t have to enter his skull!! This is barbaric!!! “
creating a username, password, and verifying an email and a phone number for the most simple things, like looking at concert tickets or buying things or traveling to a different country
Honestly I think it’s influencer, alpha culture right now along with tik tok/reels culture. It’s just horrible. It’s the trendy stuff that never becomes timeless stuff. We glorify “alpha” culture and not “community and art” culture because it’s a symptom of americas sick greedy selfish culture.
Someday driving hangry will be seen as crazy as driving drunk.
Hopefully, when the robot cars are at least good enough I can eat my dang snickers in peace.
Child beauty pageants and those true crime documentaries that exploit the victims, borderline glorify the killers, and give the families of victims no warning.
Nothing will be horrifying if things keep going the way they are going. In 50 years history will have been santized and rewritten and it will be illegal to consider alternative narratives.
Treating disabled people as disposable and separate from “normal” people, and everyone constantly getting sick from unclean indoor air (and being forced to work when you’re sick.)
not treating women’s pains as real… doctors and medical professionals just shrugging it off as it’s all in the mind… like having an IUD inserted with no pain relief
Unbelievable that’s still such a large percentage of people are backing orange Hitler!!
scary
God help us! wake up people. For many it still hasn’t hit home yet. I guess watching state TV you’re being brainwashed. I’m too old for this.
Antidepressants – they help but we don’t know how or why. Future treatments for mood disorders will hopefully more targeted instead of just increasing neurotransmitters within the whole brain/body.
I think a lot of haircare and hygiene products. Many of them are horrible for us and the environment, completely useless (I started conditioner only washing—shampoo is literally a scam, my hair is so clean for days), and don’t even get me started on superbugs. People are so obsessed with being ‘clean’ they are actually making their skin wayyyy more susceptible to being damaged and infected. ‘Healthy’ and ‘clean’ are not synonymous.
In 50 years I’ll be like “I answered this question on Reddit 50 years ago, and like twice in the span of two weeks in April 2025, I’m horrified!”
Of course I’ll be 105 years old in 50 years, if I’m on Reddit…I don’t know…will that be sad or will I have finally become the Redditor I always wanted to be?
On the assumption (keeping fingers crossed) that somehow America survives and overcomes this insane maga crap, we will look back at this period of our history as one if the darkest times.
Rioting, looting businesses, burning businesses and murdering people who disagree with those committing these atrocious acts, over a drug dealing thug. A violent criminal that now is being worshiped by the liberal left. Statues erected and murals depicting the POS.
Hopefully, human drivers. I’m still really hoping that some car company (please God let it not be Tesla) figures out self-driving cars in a consistent and competent way.

Only fans.
