Wait is perpetual teen guy going to be a bond?

65 and 12.

Who wore it best?

Sean is always cool, but I wonder how Thomas would look had he been smoking a pack a day for 20 years too.

No, Mr Bond, I expect you to be home before dark!

Is this really it? I thought the non smoking would be compensated by the increased pollution of everything

I'm sure sun exposure also plays a role, everyone wears SPF 8000 sunblock now, while they were putting on tanning oil back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s

Oh ya, because removing lead from the air made it so much worse. /s

There's significantly less air and water pollution now than the past, with the only exception being microplastics. We haven't found many short-term impacts from that yet, though

The difference would be even more striking if Sean Connery wasn't wearing a hairpiece

Air pollution was worse in the last century https://ourworldindata.org/outdoor-air-pollution

Pollution was probably another contributing factor; I'd be surprised if it wasn't a lot worse in the 60s than it is now: a lot of environmental controls got put in place in the intervening decades. Remember, there was leaded gasoline everywhere, and acid rain scares and the ozone layer depletion in the 80s.

How will Bond stop the laser satellite launch when its scheduled at midnight, more than two hours past his bedtime?

I was thinking of PFAS, pesticides, ultra-processed food and such

Thanks for the informative response. I’m a bit confused by the graphs given, that track emissions and not air quality itself. Would you know why?

The one on the right is also married to Elon Musk's twice divorce ex-wife. As in the wife married Elon, divorced him, married Elon again, divorced him, then marred the guy on the right.

I'll buy that for a dollar!

So the new Bond will be a Gen-Xer…

Welcome to lasertag and techno!

What did she mar him with, some sort of edged weapon?

He's determined like his character in Love Actually.

"Leaded gas vs Unleaded gas" was my initial thought.

But then I remembered instagram filters.

Teen Bond sounds like it would have been a great 90s cartoon series.

And sunscreen, and smoking, and minoxidil, and

The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.

It’s a combination of many factors over time. Diet, sun exposure, smoking. Lots of things we have more information about now than we did then. Medicine is better, genetics, etc.

Pollution was worse back then, look up smog in the 70s. We've introduced catalytic converters, emissions standards, etc. Most people now question why we need clean air laws because we have clean air, much like people thinking we don't need vaccines because those diseases aren't around.

But tell people that millennials look younger than previous generations and people lose their shit.

Considering back then they had asbestos, lead, etc, we're still a lot better off now, I think. A lot of our stuff now is "this increases risk" whreas a lot of stuff then was "this causes literal organ failure".

Forty Six and 2

Which is funny because those diseases are still around since they flare up when people stop taking vaccines.

And?

Calm down, Captain Kirk

You forgot "1 part warlock's curse"

I mean, the boy man literally looks 13!

It's like Stephen King's Thinner, but with visual age rather than weight.

If only!

It's funny that culturally 34 was considered a middle aged man back then whereas 34 today feels like an old 20 something.

AQI is highly variable by locale and hour. It averages out in the end, but measuring regional and global emissions is a better way to compare disparate time periods, except for areas at the extremes.

"Autism face" is a thing that makes you look way younger than you should. I know I've got it. It's weird being carded at 37.

Wait, WHO married this cringelord twice??

Calm down, Gendo Ikari!

That's what smoking and sun exposure can do to a person. Smoking especially ages you fast.

Wow they look like two completely different people

Connery also grew in the wake of WW2, that kind of stress ages you early

You made my entire week and added spring in my step, I just hope it won't ruin my knees.

Gen-X at 34 (now 36)? I wish. Try Millennial.

In case this wasn't already an ironic reference:

Sean Connery also wore a toupée ever since he was in his 20s. Dude went bald early and hid it from the world until he was an old man.

I knew James Pond Jr. was an actual video game; I did not know about James Bond Jr. :O
