Aging is a funny and unpredictable thing.
While many children dread the thought of growing up, others can't wait to become grown-ups, and not be beholden to school and homework, and living in their own house, under their own rules.
Of course, there are several things about growing up and getting older that we don't take into account as kids.
First and foremost, the physical change our bodies endure.
Or worse yet, just how early in life our physical limitations hit us.
Redditor cardanolovelace was curious to learn about the ways people's bodies change after turning 40 that no one was prepared for, leading them to ask:
"Redditors over the age of 40, what's a physical change that you were not expecting?"
"Honestly, my eyesight tapped out overnight."
"One year I was fine, the next I was holding menus at full arm length like a grandpa."- StashBang
"The crepey skin on the top of my hands."- Lychanthropejumprope
"The sweating."
"Perimenopause is no joke."
"I've never been one to sweat a lot."
"Now I sweat just driving down the road."
"WTF?"- 321four5

"Recovery time - for anything."
"was expecting a change, not a fall off of a cliff."
"Hangovers last longer, waking up takes longer, exercise makes me sore for longer, injuries heal really slowly."- allineedisthischair
"How stiff I can get after not moving for a while."- hernondo

"What I didn’t expect was the hair on my head to get so thin."- jbarinsd
"Mental is the biggest thing."
"Way less tolerant of bull sh*t."- J_does_it
"Feels like as soon as I hit 40, a switch was flipped and now acid reflux is a regular problem."
"Also it gets harder and harder to keep the weight off that I lost a decade or so ago."- 0rganicMach1ne

"Tinnitus."
"I never heard about it until it was too late to do anything."- 2EscapedCapybaras
"I was drunk peeing outside this past weekend and must have locked my knees too long."

"Went straight to the ground."
"That has literally never happened before."- Komabeard
"Everything related to Perimenopause."
"It’s a stage in life no one really talks about, and the list of symptoms is about a mile long."- MrsSamT82

"The constant low energy yet restlessness when trying to sleep."
"Also I wasn't expecting how fast my parents' health would deteriorate."- Spiritual-Promise402

"I’m noticing them all over! Derm said it was normal but damn they came out of nowhere."- TeslasAndComicbooks
Time creeps up on us faster than we expect, and try as we might to avoid it, we can't help but see and feel ourselves aging.
However, it's important to remember, like a bottle of wine or a work of art, the older things get, the more their value increases.
Making it all the more important to value the time we have on earth with each passing year.
Chaos is, according to the lexicographers at Oxford, a "state of complete disorder and confusion."
Humans find chaos entertaining to watch—hence the popularity of so-called reality TV—but not as much fun to be in the thick of. People may love the moment a "Real Housewife" flips a table, but would be less thrilled if a family member did it during dinner.
As a species, we tend to panic in the face of the unexpected.
Except for the true adrenaline junkies among us who, no surprise, often leave utter chaos in their wake.
Humans also see chaos in the natural world when things—animal, vegetable, mineral, or atmospheric—don't behave the way we've come to expect. In nature, it may be an expected occurrence or it may be a one off fluke.
To humans, it's utter insanity.
Reddit user ShadyLtd2006 asked:
"What’s the most insane event you’ve ever witnessed in person?"
"Saw Michael Jackson's hair catch on fire when he was filming a Pepsi commercial at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1984."
~ OPMom21
"Do you know the fun fact that apparently it happened on the day that was the exact midpoint between his death and birth?"
~ namynuff
"From birth to this incident (August 29, 1958 to January 27, 1984) was a span of 9282 days. That's 25 years, 4 months, and 30 days."
"From this incident until his death (June 25, 2009) was 9281 days. That's 25 years, 4 months, and 29 days. I think the one day difference is due to an extra leap year in the first span."
"Either way, it's remarkably close to exactly halfway through his life."
~ KBHoleN1
"Saw two dudes fighting each other with real swords in an intersection in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in 2015."
"The intersection in front of the McDonald's that's across from the Taco Bell by the high school. The one by the stadiums and college kinda. Don't know if the Smoothie King is still there."
"They were shirtless and genuinely trying to hit each other until everyone started honking at them and then they ran off."
~ dumn_and_dunmer
"One time I was driving down the 99 in Central California. It is two lanes in each direction with a fairly good-sized median, but no actual barrier."
"A mini van in front of me suddenly lost control, crossed the median, slammed head on into a dump truck, flipped over, and caught fire. Six teenaged kids in the car."
"We were able to get four of the teens out of the window on the rear hatch. The other two in the front seat were knocked out and we couldn't get to them."
"They died in a fire. It was horrible."
~ Feisty-Frame-1342
"Bioluminescent algae/plankton on a random beach in my suburban town in Massachusetts. I was at a party across the street from a beach and my friend's dog was playing in the water."
"All of a sudden my friend came running up to us saying the water was glowing. She had eaten mushrooms, so we all just brushed it off like 'sure I bet...' but she swore."
"So we went and looked and turns out she was right!"
"It was absolutely alien looking, and SO cool. I'll never forget that."
~ charlesmans0n
"In 1994, my buddy and I happened upon an accident. Dude flipped his car in the early morning hours, and all his stuff was piled into the hatchback area."
"We check on him, cops arrive, and idiot unlocks and opens the hatchback, and everything comes flowing out."
"And right in front of our eyes, and the cop's eyes, are these giant bags of cocaine."

"Boxing Day, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. I was 8. My uncle never made it."
"Was the scariest thing ever—felt so unreal."
"Eventually when I became an adult, I go back to Thailand every year to remember him and celebrate because the trip was something he was really excited for even though it ended in heartbreak."

"Was on a quiet double-decker bus in fairly rural Suffolk and a guy got on, paid, then said quite loudly, 'I'm gonna kill someone on this bus'."
"The driver immediately got out from behind the wheel and had the guy by the ear and dragged him off the bus. The guy just kind of collapsed in the driver's arms, and the driver laid him down fairly gently on the pavement."
"Got back on the bus without looking back and said, 'Sorry about that folks' and jumped behind the wheel, closed the doors, and drove away."
"Later that night on the news, the guy had died there and then."
"Police interviewed me later, but would not say anything. I'd seen the same driver lots of times after, so guess he was cleared of whatever. We all saw he didn't hurt him aside from an ear pull, so he must have been already injured or OD'd."
~ supperfash
"The day the pandemic flipped the world upside down."
"I found myself at baggage claim inside one of the world's busiest and largest airports on Thursday, March 12th, 2020. Literally like a scene out of 'Titanic' or that 'World War Z' movie."
"TV's blaring about stacked corpses in China, and a 'mystery virus' circulating in Seattle and Italy. Half the airport was wearing masks, half weren't. The air was buzzing yet thick like molasses, like something heavy and ominous was just smoldering in the very air itself."
"Several weeks later, with my own eyeballs, I witnessed two women physically fight each other over a package of Charmin toilet paper—at Target, no less. Police were called, and both women were hauled off in cuffs."

"In 2016, I was in a self-checkout lane in Walmart around 10pm when a flash mob came in dressed in those big crying baby masks, horse heads, and some were Trump, Hillary, and Obama. They were blasting a song off one phone and sucked at dancing."
"They basically just jumped around or twerked."
"I and like 5 other people just stood there and stared because if you tried to leave, they’d dance towards you, and the other exit was locked. They did have to stop after a few minutes."
"As I left, a loud man on a hoverboard was rolling inside with his phone call on speaker. I like to imagine he was the dancer's manager."

"Driving home from Cleveland one morning after a doctor's appointment, it was raining, tons of traffic, three lanes each side with a concrete barrier in the middle. Everyone's moving along at relatively the same speed."
"Suddenly a car from the far right lane about two-three cars ahead of me crosses both left lanes, hits the barrier, and bounces back across the lanes to side of the road."
"He managed to not hit a single other car."

"Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup."
"If you don't like snakes, it's not for you."
"I do not like snakes. It was not for me."
"There used to be one every year close to where I live. I got in free cause my dad worked security (constables office)."
"Anyways, they had a booth with this big sign that said 'pet a rattlesnake'. I remember parents walking their kids up saying 'oh go ahead little Timmy, just pet the damn rattlesnake'. There's no way I'd let my kid do that."
"The only reason I went in the first place was to see people get bit. Annnnnd, they did."
~ papawam
"F*ck Sweetwater and their snake roundup. Now the rattlers that are left are less inclined to give a warning because these stupid f*cks killed all the ones that rattle."
"Speedy evolution, driven by idiots that have no right to be interfering in nature like that."

"2013 Boston Marathon bombings. I was working as an ESL teacher at the time not far from the finish line."
"On Patriots Day/Marathon Monday, the school generally had a half day's worth of classes followed by some cultural excursions with the teachers taking their classes to explore the area around Fenway Park for the annual Red Sox game that starts in the morning."
"Normally, we would have lunch with the students after the game, followed by going to the area around the Boston Public Library where the finish line is. For some reason that year, we decided to skip lunch and just go right to the BPL."
"We were right in the area where one of the bombs would later go off for a total of about 45 minutes before calling it a day and dismissing the students. One of the other teachers and I had just started walking away, literally about 3-5 minutes, when we heard two loud explosions."
"We honestly didn't think anything of it at first, thinking they were cannons or something for the reenactments that can sometimes accompany Patriots Day events. It wasn't until after 30 seconds or so when we saw and could hear people running and screaming that we figured out something was wrong."
"So we went back to check on our students, but couldn't locate any of them."
"I barely slept that night worried that one of my students might have been a victim. Luckily, everyone ended up being fine other than one student from Chile who suffered from temporary hearing loss for a week or so."

"I was part of the biggest mooning in cinema history."
"My arse is immortalised in the movie 'Braveheart'."
~ Socks-and-Jocks
"When I was 8, my uncle flew me in his little Cessna (I think) to a family reunion in northern Alberta on a farm."
"I remember going over a hill and as we crested it, I saw the moon rising. It was a blood red harvest moon and I swear it filled the sky."
"It’s been 40 years and I still remember how gorgeous that was. Awe inspiring!"

What moments of chaos have you experienced firsthand?
Vanity Fair has attracted significant attention this week after inviting Vice President JD Vance, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, among other Trump officials, for a photoshoot ahead of the publication's profile on Chief of Staff Susie Wiles—not realizing just how brutal the two-part article would be.
The profile takes an unusually intimate look at Wiles, a veteran political operative long known for projecting unwavering loyalty to her boss.
But in the feature, which drew on 11 interviews conducted over nearly a year with cooperation from the White House, Wiles was surprisingly forthcoming than her public-facing role typically allows, speaking candidly about President Donald Trump, his inner circle, and the administration’s direction.
Oh, and the Trump administration staff members who participated looked like they were posing for a sexy photoshoot in some pictures.
You can see them in the carousel of imagesVanity Fair posted on their Instagram page.
The Vanity Fair profile is well worth reading for those interested in reading the most intimate and revealing profile of the Trump administration's inner circle—but did these officials even realize as they posed that the final result is undoubtedly unflattering?
No, it doesn't appear to be the case—and they were swiftly mocked for this.
It's worth noting that Vanity Fair photographer Christopher Anderson has pushed back against criticism of his stark close-range portraits of the Cabinet, such as the one of Rubio below.
Viewers quickly zeroed in on details like visible filler injection sites on Leavitt’s lips—elements that a more conventional or deferential approach might have minimized or erased altogether.
Anderson pointed out that portraits like these—unvarnished and all—are a hallmark of his work.
He said as much to The Independent:
“Very close-up portraiture has been a fixture in a lot of my work over the years. Particularly, political portraits that I’ve done over the years. I like the idea of penetrating the theater of politics.”
“I know there’s a lot to be made with, ‘Oh, he intentionally is trying to make people look bad’ and that kind of thing – that’s not the case. If you look at my photograph work, I’ve done a lot of close-ups in the same style with people of all political stripes.”
Perhaps the Trump administration should have done... you know... research.
Santa Claus has survived centuries of tradition, but he was no match for beige, shapewear, or Kim Kardashian. A holiday TikTok posted last Monday to the SKIMS account sparked widespread mockery after showing Santa Claus visiting the brand’s New York City flagship store in a look that was unmistakably on-brand.
Gone was the iconic red velvet suit. In its place was a muted beige ensemble that looked less North Pole and more minimalist showroom chic.
In the TikTok video posted on SKIMS, Santa shared details on the look:
“I’m wearing this lovely outfit that Kim sent me, and underneath is the Ultimate Bodysuit in Sienna.”
The video overlay reads, “SKIMS Santa fit check,” a Gen Z phrase that probably did not exist before 2025 but already feels inescapable and cool to the youths.
You can watch the video below:

Even though the color swap raised eyebrows, viewers were more fixated on something else entirely: Santa looked thinner and a bit sad, like the Grinch took all his cookies and milk. The traditional rotund figure was missing, replaced by a streamlined silhouette that sent the comments section into a spiral.
Within hours, the nickname “Ozempic Santa” took off. And the joke lands because it taps into this year’s most unavoidable cultural conversations: the normalization and quiet acceptance of Ozempic-thin aesthetics.
As GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have moved from medical treatment to mainstream weight-loss solutions, their visual markers have been more than scrutinized. The internet notes that rapid weight loss, lean frames, and sharper facial features are familiar online, whether praised, critiqued, or simply expected.
So when Santa showed up looking less cookie-forward and more contour-focused, the internet connected the dots. The presence of the Ultimate Bodysuit under the suit only fueled the commentary. This was classic Kardashian shock branding.
The video was part of a SKIMS promotion that allowed customers to meet Santa in-store with any purchase. Over the weekend, shoppers visiting the SKIMS flagship in New York City encountered a Santa Claus dressed in beige with white fur trim, a stark departure from the bold red traditionally associated with the character.
The comments were relentless. Some joked that Mrs. Claus, who seemed to be missing from the festive meet-and-greet, really needed to intervene. Others mourned the loss of Santa’s belly filled with jelly as if it were a sacred holiday tradition. The overall consensus was clear: even Santa is not safe from 2025 beauty standards.
The reaction quickly spilled onto other social media platforms, where users had plenty to say:
As for the suit’s color, the shift from Rudolph red to muted beige should hardly come as a surprise. It is Kardashian’s signature aesthetic, the kind of Pinterest board filled with eggshell white, reliable black, and greige—the now-inescapable shade that looks like gray and beige had a Kardashian-approved baby.
Neutral tones are the foundation of SKIMS, and the All’s Fair star has been vocal about her preference for monochromatic palettes for years.
During a 2022 appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, Kardashian explained that philosophy plainly:
“Grays, heather gray, black, navy, white, cream, khaki. I mean, we can stick with all neutrals, and like, not a lot of color blocking… My house is so zen. So, I asked how everyone felt about it, and everyone actually said, ‘That would make our life so easy.’”
That minimalist vision has turned SKIMS into a massive commercial success. Last week, Kardashian promoted the brand’s collaboration with Nike while wearing limited-edition beige leggings priced at $118. Earlier this month, she appeared in another SKIMS collaboration with The North Face, reinforcing the brand’s grip on muted tones and body-contouring silhouettes.
Recent SKIMS collections continue expanding within the same restrained framework, introducing new shades like Bone, Gunmetal, and Onyx. According to the brand’s press release, there will be “new and returning silhouettes” designed to deliver “comfort, style, and functionality across outerwear, contouring base layers, and versatile separates.”
Which brings the conversation back to Santa. The backlash is not really about Christmas tradition or nostalgia. It is about how even Santa Claus is now subject to modern wellness culture, branding expectations, and the pressure to look thinner, sleeker, and more on trend.
In 2025, even Santa has a brand. It’s beige, bodysuited, and pharmaceutically streamlined.
Possibly more than any other generation, Millennials were raised with interactive snacks and candies. From dippable cookies and candies to chips perfectly shaped for scooping and build-your-own pizzas, consumers found the interactive experience to be more important than the food itself.
Bugles are a fan favorite example, because while the chips were tasty and crispy, with a solid variety of flavors to choose from, the real point of them was their iconic shape, like the mouth of a bugle horn. Though we didn't openly talk about it at the time, it was a Millennial pastime to put the Bugles on our fingers like long nails, pretending we were fashionistas and gremlins and vampires.
That might all be gone now, though, after TikToker @whodemboyz made an unfortunate discovery while buying a bag of Bugles Tobasco-flavored chips.
Looking for a tasty snack and a little bit of nostalgia, the TikToker purchased a bag, only to realize when he opened it that all of the chips were flat.
The TikToker questioned:
"Bugles, what happened?"
You can watch the video here:
@whodemboyz thanks for ruining my childhood @Bugles #fyp #bugles #chips
Fellow TikTokers were left spiraling over the possibility of Bugles looking like any other chip.











Though Bugles did not post a reply on the platform, the chip brand does have a TikTok account over at @Bugles, hosting funny videos that feature Bugles as the star of the show. More importantly, they've even featured Bugles performing their intended use: being a snack food we can play with first.
@bugles When you still need a fresh set 💅 #fyp #bugles #comedy
There's a possibility that the TikToker might have picked up a bag that was not handled with the utmost care, either before or after purchasing them, causing the chips to break and appear flat instead of Bugle-like.
But there have been complaints for years, since late 2014, of Millennials questioning if their fingers were getting bigger or if Bugles were getting smaller, and the online consensus was that the iconic chips were shrinking in size.
But if the production of the chips has changed, and possibly the quality control, the shape may not have officially changed, but we might see far more of these disappointments when tearing into a bag.
