Take a look at this photo. That’s you in 20 years. Maybe. If you keep on feeding into that “one more episode” lie.
A study claiming to focus on what binge-watching does to the body has inspired a pair of grotesque visualizations envisioning Netflix addicts two decades down the road. Meet Eric and Hannah.
“We conducted a study on the impact that binging Netflix has on your health,” the creator, OnlineGambling.com, explains. “We used our research to show you what you could look like if you don’t change your habits.”
The makeup of the dummies might look baseless, but this is a combination—albeit an exaggerated one—of features your body might take on if you’re not careful about your health and almost never leave your couch.
“We’ve created 3D models to show you up close and personal all the bodily damage of a Netflix binger,” the website says. “Let us warn you, it’s not a pretty sight.”
Eric and Hannah’s dramatic appearances are broken down on the site. For instance, they have ashen skin because of the lack of sunlight, resulting in deficiencies of vitamins B-12 and D. Without sunlight and vitamin D, Eric suffers bald patches, too.
Bloodshot eyes and dark shadows indicate sleep deprivation and the strain from staring at screens for hours without sufficient blinking. Varicose veins gather at their legs due to poor blood circulation from sitting for too long.
The models are pictured with fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging in the face due to premature aging from High Energy Visible (HEV) light emitted from device screens. They also have pot bellies from insufficient exercise and an overdependence on food deliveries, as well as rounded shoulders and poor posture from slouching. They get something called ‘Dead-Butt Syndrome’ because of the persistent pressure placed on the pelvic area.
