A man who has spent an estimated $2 million a year on anti-aging has revealed the terrifying side effects of a recent procedure.
Bryan Johnson is a multimillionaire biohacker on a mission to become 18 again.
At the age of 20, Johnson, from Utah, founded Braintree, a payment gateway that lets customers pay using credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, PayPal Credit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Venmo.
In 2013, the payment gateway company was sold to PayPal for a whopping $800million. Johnson personally made around $300,000,000 from the sale.
The businessman, now 47, has taken on a new full-time job: himself, spending $2 million per year on his lifestyle and starting Project Blueprint.
The self-proclaimed “world’s most measured human” took to his X (formerly Twitter) profile to share a candid post about his project.
“As Blueprint grew into a global movement, the scrutiny increased. Facial fat, we discovered, is pretty important for how people perceive youth. It didn’t matter how good my biomarkers were if I didn’t have face fat,” he wrote.
“So, we started ‘Project Baby Face,’ to explore whether we can restore lost volume,” Johnson added.
Read Johnson’s thread below:
Here’s where things took a turn for the dramatic. Johnson selected “a first therapy: injecting a fat-derived extracellular matrix to restore volume by stimulating my body’s natural fat growth”.
He decided to opt for donor fat as he didn’t have enough, and this caused his face to swell to alarming proportions, blurring his vision and almost rendering him unrecognizable.
“Immediately following the injections, my face began to blow up,” he penned in the post, outlining the unexpected ordeal.
It was a severe allergic reaction that puffed up his face to the point where he was prepared for the worst during an imminent interview with Bloomberg’s Ashlee Vance.
“I called him and said, ‘Hey, so that you’re not alarmed, you may not recognize me today. I think I’m ok. I hope I’m ok. If I’m not ok, are you by chance trained to perform any life-saving actions?'” he shared.
Many people were left stunned by the results and shared their reactions. “Our mission statement is to do literally everything the complete opposite of this guy,” one person wrote.
“I really appreciate this guy’s efforts, but did he really just say he injected someone else’s fat in his face for purely cosmetic reasons?” another questioned.

Fortunately for Johnson, his facial features deflated back to normal after a nail-biting seven days.
Unfazed, he and his team went back to the drawing board and started “reformulating plans for our next attempt”.
“Building a product is one thing; being the product is a whole different thing,” he concluded in the post.

Plus-sized model calls for rollercoasters to have bigger seats after being left devastated she can’t ride them

By Asiya Ali
A plus-sized model has called out theme parks for not having bigger seats for larger people.
You may have heard of Gracie Bon, a model who boasts a staggering 9.6 million followers on Instagram and 452.8K followers on TikTok.
The 27-year-old, from Panama, has been very outspoken about how her voluptuous curves have led to several challenges in public spaces.
She highlighted one of those challenges on Monday (November 11) by taking to TikTok to share a clip of herself at a theme park.
The video showed Bon trying to sit in the “small” seats on a rollercoaster. She then moved the camera closer to show her backside before she pulled a stunned face to the camera and shook her head.
Watch Bon’s TikTok below:
The plus-sized model captioned the video: “Please just make the seats bigger,” in both English and Spanish.
She also had a voiceover over the No Doubt ‘Just A Girl’ song, saying: “When you want to get on the roller coaster. I tried to do the seat test, only size XL girls will understand. The seat belt didn’t close, these things happen to me because I have big legs.”
Many viewers flooded the comment section with mixed responses to her plight. “Stop making everything a problem!! the world doesn’t revolve around you!!” one user slammed.
Another echoed: “The world is not the problem n does not have to cater to you. Do better big homie,” and a third blasted: “Sucks to be you. That’s your own fault.”
A fourth commented: “Why should they spend a fortune to make bigger seats for people who have no self-control, the entitlement is ridiculous.”
However, some people agreed with her as one user penned: “They should make them bigger!! It’s 2024 we come in ALL SIZES!!”
The content creator is no stranger to controversy as she previously made headlines after sharing a video of her struggling to fit into her plane seat.
“Airplanes should have bigger seats,” she told her followers. “So today I had a flight, and even if I was flying in first class, I couldn’t fit on the airplane seat. So this is a petition for all the airlines so big girls like me can fly. It’s not my fault to have an a** this big. Please just make them bigger!”
As she was allegedly banned from airlines after asking them to accommodate to her figure, which she has claimed is all-natural, she has no choice but to travel in a private jet.
The model posted a clip about her expensive solution, which showcased the aircraft’s spacious interior, including a “VIP” bathroom where she could easily freshen up.
She reflected on her new mode of travel, saying it is “the best thing that has happened” since her alleged airline ban.
Is it possible that Bon will now purchase her own theme park so she can design seats for her derriere? Let’s wait and see.

Clueless man is slammed for bringing cutting board to sick girlfriend’s bed so she could ‘help make dinner’

By Nasima Khatun
A man has been slammed online after he decided to put his girlfriend to work while she was sick.
Empathy is an important part of human connection, but some people seemingly lack the emotional capacity to put this skill into action in their daily lives.
One man learned the hard way after he was dragged on the internet after forcing his wife to help him cook while she was sick.
Taking to Reddit’s infamous ‘Am I The A**hole?’ thread, a person posted a recollection of the time they brought their girlfriend a cutting board to bed so she could help make dinner, which was later reposted to the ‘Reddit on Wiki’ thread.

“My girlfriend was not feeling well,” he said, giving some context before he started. “She said to me that she was going to eat some soup, but was not feeling like cooking together. Normally, we go to the store and cook together every night, we both like to.”
He then went on to say that he was “looking forward to cooking together” so he tried to get her to go to the grocery store with him to grab some ingredients.
However, even though she kept saying she wasn’t feeling too well, she eventually said that she would go after he offered to “cook dinner”.
“When we got home, I asked her if she wanted to cook with me,” he said again, clearly not understanding that she was physically incapable because of her health, but whatever.
“She told me she could try. After ten minutes, she stopped and told me she was not doing ok and went to the bedroom.”

You would think things would stop there and he would let her rest but if the title is any clue, you’d be right about what happened next.
“I was making dinner in the kitchen alone, she was in bed so I thought maybe she could still help from her bed,” he continued. “So I brought her the cutting board, a knife, and a bell pepper to cut.
“She told me that she was not feeling well and was not able to help with preparing dinner and that she did not feel like eating. I told her: but you still need something to eat right, that’s good for you.
“AITA for bringing the cutting board to her bed when she was feeling sick?” he added.

Of course, the comments were unforgiving, and rightfully so.
“This guy has the density of a collapsed star. Unbelievable,” wrote one user, while another added: “I can’t believe he thinks they have to absolutely cook together every dam night. F*** no. Not this one. And the first time someone brought me a cutting board and stuff while I’m sick af. They getting st*bbed.”
A third was also shocked at the man’s response, writing: What the f***… even if this wasn’t an insane thing to do when someone is sick… how tf would she chop stuff in bed? What a plum.”
And this user had some direct advice for him: “Are you freaking serious? Wtf kind of idiot is this? Just make her some damn soup and then leave her alone geez.”
The post ended with an update from the original writer after seeing the responses.
“EDIT: I maybe have a hard time relating, it was [a] long time ago I was sick myself. When I was 10 was the last time, so I do not really [remember] how it felt,” he wrote. “If I have a headache myself, I still try to cook. So maybe I handled it wrong. But I thought… this way, we can kind of still cook together.”
What do you think about this situation?

Groom is praised for refusing to invite his own mother to his wedding

By James Kay
A groom took the unconventional step of refusing to invite his own mother to his wedding, and people have praised him for it.
Weddings are a huge occasion and you’d hope that all of the people you love are there to celebrate.

Presumably, this would involve parents, but some people don’t see eye to eye with those who raised them.
Therefore, boundaries need to be set, and in serious cases, this can mean cutting them out of big occasions…
Well, in a Reddit post that has quickly gained traction, a 26-year-old groom has decided to exclude his mother from his wedding, citing years of feeling “invisible” and neglected.
Posted on the “Am I the A**hole?” subreddit, the groom recounted how his mother largely ignored him after remarrying, shifting her focus to her new husband and his children.
After his parents’ divorce when he was eight, the groom explained, his mother quickly remarried a man who had two children from a previous relationship.
It wasn’t long before he felt replaced.
“Ever since, it’s like I was no longer a priority in her life,” he wrote. “I’m not exaggerating when I say she treated them way better than me. They’d go on trips, she’d go to all their sport events, and they’d get everything they wanted.”

The groom described a lonely upbringing in which his mother rarely showed interest in his education, social life, or mental health.
“I felt like I was invisible,” he shared. “She didn’t ask about my school, didn’t care about my friends, or even my mental health. I started to feel like I wasn’t even her kid anymore.”
Hoping for some sort of reconnection, the groom made an effort to stay in touch after he moved out at 18.
But every attempt was met with rejection or indifference, he said, with his mother often telling him she was “busy” or not responding at all. Eventually, he stopped reaching out altogether.
That dynamic changed abruptly when he announced his engagement. Suddenly, his mother became highly interested, texting frequently and eager for details.
Out of nowhere she began excitedly texting her son, as if they were “super close,” wanting to know every detail of the wedding, he said. She even remarked: “I can’t wait to see you start this new chapter.”

Her change in attitude, however, was unwelcome to the groom, who found it hard to reconcile with her years of absence.
He confronted his mother directly, telling her he was uncomfortable with her attending his wedding and suggesting they could work on rebuilding their relationship – but only after the wedding.
This led to an emotional exchange in which his mother accused him of “holding a grudge” and argued that, as his mother, “she deserves to be there.”
In his post, the groom expressed frustration over her expectations, writing: “I don’t know how I’m supposed to just forget the fact that she ignored me my whole childhood,” adding that it felt unfair to let her “show up at the wedding when she never showed up for him.”
After sharing his story, he asked the forum: “AITA for not letting my mom come to my wedding after everything that happened?”

One person replied: “This is your wedding, you’re supposed to have the people you love around you, it’s not for her or anyone else. You said you would talk about things after the wedding which is reasonable. It’s up to you who you invite not your family, it may be unpopular with some of them but ultimately it’s your decision.”
A second said: “Your mom basically pulled a ‘Hey, stranger!’ like she’s an old friend sliding into your DMs after ghosting you for years. Now, because it’s a big life event, suddenly she wants to play ‘proud mom’? Nah, she missed out on the backstage pass a long time ago.”
A third added: “You are not obligated to ‘keep the peace’ when the only one disrupting the ‘peace’ is your absent mother trying to get free food and drink and glory at your wedding.
“Why would she ever expect to be welcome there? Her presence would be a painful reminder that she didn’t think you were worth the time of day. My guess is she will disappear again as soon as it’s over.”
What do you think?

Adult star who slept with 101 people in 14 hours reveals whether size really matters

By James Kay
An adult star who admitted to sleeping with 101 people in 14 hours has weighed in on the debate surrounding the size of a person’s manhood…
Lily Phillips has been making waves online recently as she takes the adult entertainment industry by storm.
The 23-year-old first started making adult videos when she turned 18, and a few years on she claims to be making six figures a month from her work, per the Metro.
Recently, she made headlines after completing a 101-man encounter in a single day.
Reflecting on the feat, Phillips told Metro: “When you’re in sex positions for hours, my actual body, like my limbs, were aching. I felt like I’d been hit by a bus.” Despite the strain, she added, “But I enjoy it, and I’m passionate about it. I don’t think I’d do these crazy things if I wasn’t.”
Now, Phillips has raised the bar, revealing her ambition to increase the number tenfold. She shared on social media: “Last week I did 101 guys. Now, this was just a warm-up. In February, I’m going to be the first person ever to reach four digits of guys, all in one day.”
The event, she clarified, will be ticketed, with details available to followers on her social channels.
So, we’ve established that Phillips is pretty experienced when it comes to the bedroom, so what does she have to say about whether the size of a man matters?

Well, to start it off Phillips clarifies: “It’s not an easy answer. It’s yes and no.”
She continues: “For a civilian, normal girl. No. When I was 18, no, size did not matter.”
Presumably, most people reading this would fit the description of “civilian”, so men, you’re all good.
However, if you plan on sleeping with someone who has a career between the sheets, then Phillips has a bit more to say.
“Now I’m a little bit more… how do I say, used… Yes,” she said.
Phillips clarified that her vagina, who she referred to as “she” is not the same as when she was younger.
“I’ve been so used to taking bigger ones, I don’t think I could take a smaller one,” she concluded.
But if you are on the smaller side, Phillips left with some words of wisdom: “Learn how to use your tongue and fingers.”
In other Phillips news, she recently showed us the aftermath of her recent 101-man challenge.
“I got ‘ran through’ by 101 men,” she said in a video, explaining that her bloodshot eyes were “still recovering from all of the bodily fluids that went in them.”
Key to organizing such a high-demand event is Phillips’ assistant, Claudie-Louis, who handled the planning and logistics for the 101-man encounter.
The event, held in a rented Airbnb under tight security, adhered to a strict schedule to ensure safety and efficiency.
“When Lily came to me with this idea, initially I thought she was joking or meant it as a publicity stunt,” Claudie-Louis told Metro. “But I realized she genuinely wanted to do it. I just want her safe, happy, and progressing in life the way she wishes.”

Adult star who slept with 101 men in 14 hours reveals her next challenge

By Asiya Ali
An adult star who slept with 101 people in 14 hours has left people stunned after revealing her next challenge.
Lily Phillips, originally from Derbyshire, is an adult content creator who has made the same headlines as fellow star, Bonnie Blue.
According to Metro, the 23-year-old entered the adult entertainment world at 18, making £2,000 ($2,500) within her first 24 hours on OnlyFans through solo content. She later dropped out of Sheffield University and began filming videos with men at the start of this year.
Since then, she has filmed several challenges that have not only put her in the spotlight but also earned her six figures.
One of those was engaging in sexual encounters with 101 men over 14 hours, filming each interaction for her OnlyFans. She even showed “proof” of the challenge completion by sharing a video of her lying in bed while declaring that the room was a “state”.
The clip revealed items scattered all across the room, including sex toys, condom wrappers, and items of clothing. It then cut to a close-up of the adult star’s face where she stated that she got “ran through” by 101 men.
Phillips opened up about the strange triumph to Metro, saying: “When you’re in sex positions for hours, my actual body, like my limbs, were aching. I felt like I’d been hit by a bus… But I enjoy it and I’m passionate about it. I don’t think I’d do these crazy things if I wasn’t.”
Watch Phillips’ latest announcement below: If you think 100 men in 14 hours was a bit much, then prepare to be shocked as last week, the self-proclaimed “mattress actress” revealed that she is “training” for her next challenge: sleeping with “1000 guys in 24 hours”.
It’s not clear how that is physically possible, given that Phillips would need to sleep with roughly 42 men every hour of the day.
But before she attempts that feat, Phillips will try to accomplish having sex with “300 guys in a day” so she can “warm up”.
Safe to say her followers were left horrified by the announcement. “Please tell me it’s a joke,” one user said. “Training for something like that is WILD,” another quipped.
“Currently in training!! My mind can’t comprehend this!” a third remarked. “Why ,????????” a fourth questioned.
Phillips’ antics have sparked controversy on social media, with many slamming her for setting a poor example for young girls.
However, she hit back at critics by sharing that she simply enjoys “everything” about sex, and loves “entertaining” her subscribers. She is also driven by the goal of being the “best” in the adult industry.
“When I filmed my 101 guys in 14 hours, it felt like my biggest sexual fantasy come true, and now I want to do bigger and better feats,” she says. “The thrill of it drives me crazy – I would never do something I don’t want to do. Maybe it’s a kink? Who knows,” she said.
The 23-year-old contended that people should be more “open-minded to the fact that not everyone thinks like them,” and said that having sex with many men shouldn’t “be a shameful thing”.
She revealed that her mom and dad are both supportive of her controversial career, even if others aren’t.
