A remarkable new online subculture has young men clockwork oranging, bashing their faces with hammers and snorting crystal meth to drop weight, all in the interest of being the most handsome boy.
Coming up on Today Explained, clavicular and the looks maxers.
Charlie, who is Clavicular?
Tell me about the LookSmaxers.
Those examples sound extreme, but I suspect you're going to tell me they're not.
What do we know about what Clavicula has done to himself?
One thing that I find so fascinating is this is like a society in a way.
And so the looks maxers have their own language, which I think is very compelling.
Can you define a couple of the terms?
If the point of looks maxing is to be as hot as possible...
What is the objective of being hot?
What is the purpose of all this?
So I've read your pieces and I listened to your podcast.
