I don’t know why these dudes want to look like they’re choking on a shovel.
Definitely a Darwin Award winner.
Article also reminds me of a Superman fanboy in my country going to huge costly lengths to look a lot like Christopher Reeve’s Superman.
How the hell you’d inject gold?
This is what is known as a “bad idea”
tetrachloroauric acid
That sounds like a fucking terrible idea good lord
TIL this 👆
Everyone is focused on body dysmorphia but after reading the article the entire thing sounds like a scam cooked up by the gold industry.

Did it work??
Yes, he’s with the Lord now doing superhuman stuff.
Can he talk to Mitch? We’re trying to hear from him
I heard he had a 20 minutes conversation with him
Woah
Some problems solve themselves.
The problem with all of these other influencers backing the claim that he’d become “supernatural” before his death will only keep the door open for other followers to copy this lifestyle, just believing this idiot just did something wrong that they can correct. So dangerous.
That’s basically the entire history of magical and/or alchemical elixirs and potions. “Sure the previous emperor died after drinking the lead immortality elixir, but that’s just because he didn’t do it right”
Seems like a self correcting problem, honestly.
“Looksmaxxing” is garden variety body dysmorphic disorder, but it’s quite clearly treated vastly differently because the sufferer is male presenting.
Your comment is akin to saying suicide makes depression a self correcting problem. That’s pretty fucking heartless, don’t you think?
Looksmaxxing involves style and fashion too, not exactly like an eating disorder, its more like I want to look superior because of my insecurities. I’m sure there is some comorbidity.
For Nazis, it is.
Everyone else should get healthcare, but for Nazis I’m happy when it runs its course.
but it’s quite clearly treated vastly differently because the sufferer is male presenting.
This is so dumb, people are overwhelmingly cruel to women with eating disorders. Whether eating too much or too little. Not to mention, a woman with an eating disorder isn’t eating more/less because she hates men. Incels started looksmaxxing because of red pill manosphere brainrot like ‘you must be 6’13" and square jaw and straight white teeth and muscles in order to have a CHANCE with a 7.5/10, because all women are whores and driven by primordial urges’ . It’s an entirely incorrect interpretation of how human beings interact propogated by chronically online cave trolls.
My comment is no where near saying suicide makes depression a self correcting problem. There are myriad circumstances that can lead someone to suicide. Looksmaxxing is at its core an overreaction to a problem that incels conjured up. Or more accurately misinterpreted, yes male loneliness is a problem but so is female loneliness; it’s an epidemic on both sides.
If you’re too dumb to understand that maybe you shouldn’t pump random shit into your veins in an attempt to look younger or more attractive, so be it. You will become a lesson for anyone paying attention. (Proverbial you)
Treated differently only because the overwhelmingly male population that suffers from it is actively hating people who they deem different and taking a lot of online space doing so. That’s fucking heartless, indeed.
White powder gold?
Gold is famously inert and biocompatible. That wasn’t the cause.
Only as a metal. You generally can’t inject it, so it was probably in a chemical compound, after which it would no longer be inert.
Cardiac arrest from blockage seems like a real possibility if he put enough of it in or whatever he was using as a solution base wasn’t safe.
edit: Wholly Shit. Gold poisoning is a thing.
According to Androgenic, Murphy later began injecting gold into his body.
“A few weeks later he started the experiment, he was injecting gold…He was just crazy. He was covered in discoloration from gold poisoning,” he added.

Gold Toxicity long-term effects may include liver inflammation, blue-grey skin color, and mouth ulcers. There can also be bone marrow suppression resulting in frequent infections
We don’t know how much he was injecting, the body’s not exactly designed to remove grams of solid metal from the blood.
Or for how long. Gold is famously inert except when it isn’t.
Conservatives have spent the last 50 years devaluing education. This is the result.
People are so worried about women and body dysmorphia, but we should remember that men need help with dysmorphia too.
I didn’t know who this guy was before he died, but I read an article about things he was doing and saying. He was not okay. It seems like he was suffering from some kind of paranoia as much as dysmorphia.
It’s not a competition. But looking at the numbers it’s justified to focus a little more on women for the time being.
Fight Club couldn’t have predicted how stupid this would get.
Average JoJo backstory
Injecting hot liquid gold into your blood stream. What kind of syringe could withstand the high temperature? Anyway, what a complete moron.
Gold has a lower melting temperature, but I assumed it was gold flakes suspended in liquid.
Looksmaxxing is just a new name for body dysmorphia. The same shit that makes people puke their guts out after eating, or getting plastic surgery done over and over until they look like freaks.
Have you tried shitmaxxing?
I do it all the time
Currently vapemaxxing and shitpostontheshittermaxxing.
Shitmaxxing is the latest fad. Influencers are eating 6 meals a day rather than the regular 3. The rules also include in those meals at least 2 cans of beans, 20 grams of soluble fibre, and a kg of beef.
And that’s just the physical symptoms of social media. The mental damage from using it is much higher.
“a Turkish sugar-free chewing gum that some looksmaxxing influencers use in the belief it can help strengthen the jawline.”
Oh shit I know this gum, it gives you jaw cramps.
