There are men on the internet hitting themselves in the face with a hammer. On purpose. To get dates.

Justin has questions.

This week Thoughts Off The Stem breaks down Looks Maxxing — the incel community's full-send obsession with optimizing their face with a hammer and chewing gum — 400 sticks a day to chisel those jaw muscles. If the plan to get a date starts with blunt force trauma to the skull, Justin would like to suggest a different strategy.

Then we pivot to what weed actually does to your skin, because if you're going to take a hammer to the face you should probably know what your edibles are doing to your collagen first.
