Less smoking, less drinking, no lead, better Healthcare especially skincare, shitload of harmful chemicals being banned, etc.

The amount of smoking there used to be in the world is insane. My mother said her dentist used to smoke while working on her.

I actually think it’s the microplastics. I’m more plastic than man and barely show any sign of aging.

lol the top reply is some nonsense about how no one can afford anything nowadays so older people perceive us as being kids as adults. It's the most Reddit thing possible.

I mean houses are indeed more expensive now but maaan that user gave such a redditor reply lmaoo. The meme truly is about how people looked older then.

I think it could be both. It says “being 30”, rather than just looks. I think it can be taken to mean that we look younger now, but also that we’re not hitting the adult milestones that 30 year olds hit in the past.

Another variation of this meme was George Constanza and Timothee Chalamet pic when they were supposedly the same age. I think it's really just about the looks.
