Twitteris levib teooria, mille kohaselt vananesid inimesed minevikus kiiremini.

Twitteri kasutaja Brandon McCarthy säutsus hiljuti sotsiaalmeedias: «See on jama, aga kes teie arust nägid ka inimesed kunagi oma välimuse kohta vanemad välja?»

this is nonsense but did people in the past look older when they were younger?

Kuigi esmapilgul võib selline väide mõttetusena tunduda, nõustuvad paljud inimesed siiski noormehega. Nimelt on säutsul juba ligi 10 000 meeldimist ning inimesed postitavad ka pilte oma pereliikmetest ja staaridest, et näidata, et sellel väitel on tõepoolest omamoodi tõepõhi all.
