The Disturbing Trend of Bone Smashing: A Dangerous and Baseless Beauty Myth
Bone smashing, an alarming and dangerous trend, involves hitting one’s face with a hammer to supposedly increase facial bone size or structure. It is a concept born from the idea of ‘mewing,’ which claims that tongue exercises can enhance the jawline. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. Instead of achieving desired results, bone smashing often results in swelling, bruising, and potential injuries. This trend is part of a subculture obsessed with altering facial features to conform to perceived beauty standards. The notion that certain facial features determine one’s destiny is unfounded and reminiscent of harmful pseudoscience from the past.
