Water, sunscreen. I feel like it was more common in the past to cast a far older person than the age of the character they were playing too on screen. There is also makeup, style choices and clothes that can influence a view quite a bit.

The opening to Cowboys from Hell sounds like when my air conditioner's motor run capacitor started leaking and the motor would kinda ramp up at first and then just get stuck semi-stalling.

So what's the deal? Sun tan lotion, all the antioxidants we were/are all huffing with various teas, and of course the avocado toast? (disclaimer, sounds interesting but have never eaten that)

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Wow I’m in this pic and I don’t like it.

Well except the Pantera thing. Fuck promoting Phil Anselmo at this point.
