Do mewing next for the love of humanity; if I hear another 6yo talking about their jawline, I'm gonna lose it

Why? There’s actual science behind the benefits of breathing through your nose.

Mewing is exercising the jaw muscles. What does that have to do with breathing through the nose?
Re:YouTube to restrict teenagers' exposure to videos about w... by yadaeno on Friday September 06, 2024 @08:42PM (#41470758)
No its breathing through your nose which forces your tongue to the roof of your mouth, this provides support to your nasal cavity and can change the entire shape of your face over time.

Mewing is essentially slang for correct tongue posture. Look up myofunctional therapy if you’re curious.

over how much time? The entire shape of your face changes regardless of what you do.

Timescale of years.

Correct tongue posture is a thing, much like sitting up straight it’s not going to change your life overnight but generally a good thing long term.

I don't believe sitting up straight is anything more than myth in terms of how intentionally doing it impacts your body

That is pseudo science, there is nothing to support it works. John Mew lost his dental license due to misconduct, the "mewing" movement should be seen like homeopathy movement.

And a few doctors ~150 years ago were ridiculed because they insisted that you should wash and disinfect your hands before surgery.

what? do people not breath through their nose?!

breathing through the mouth is hard and dries the lips / mouth

never thought I'd see people talking about mewing on here lol

And 6 year olds? That's kind of terrifying

Re:YouTube to restrict teenagers' exposure to videos about w... by klyrs on Saturday September 07, 2024 @01:54AM (#41471755)
Yeah I actually listen to what my kid's friends say. Kinda always regret it but I'd rather know

wait what the fuck? 6yos talking about their jawline? what's going on?
Re:YouTube to restrict teenagers' exposure to videos about w... by Ekaros on Saturday September 07, 2024 @02:24AM (#41471890)
I remember talking about maybe six packs or abs muscles at that age... Did not make me fitness nut. Kids talk about lot of stuff, most of it doesn't really stick.

Feels like people forgot their 4-10yos and got general anxiety. A kid talks about something, bring in the measures!!!

Kids talk about all kinds of shit, from jawlines to how much actors in movies get paid to get shot. Stop taking it seriously, ffs.

This is on you. I have never heard of "mewing" and I am on youtube all the time.

Even more so, I would never watch a video of a 6 year old doing anything.

If you watch stupid videos, don't complain when the platform pushes you more stupid videos.

There’s a whole world of recommendation solutions that don’t cling on a single stupid video you just watched for whatever reason. I’d suggest you to change your view and complain instead, because that’s how things change.

Also, you are generalizing from personal experience which differs from person to person. I’m not interested in women bad, lounge music and pseudo-pop-sci content. Guess how much of it sits in my “don’t recommend” list.

Hello, green account. I have a child of my own. There isn't just nothing wrong with me consuming content for kids; there would be something wrong if I wasn't monitoring what my child consumes.
