On April 17, 2024, I had the honor of moderating an online panel entitled “Promoting Inventor Equity in Patenting” part of the OHSU Innovates series hosted by the OHSU Technology.
Social media has a weird way of making you feel insecure about things you didn t even know you should be concerned with and currently, it s been focusing on your jawline.
The popular social media app TikTok is flooded right now with people who claim that a tiny device you can repeatedly chew on helped give them a more chiseled jawline. The trend isn t necessarily brand new, but it has recently picked up steam, namely due to a video shared by user @ilikepiemuah0 and then a subsequent video by user @thyrants calling her out for recommending unsafe practices.
In the original video, @ilikepiemuah0 shared how she got rid of [her] double chin in 57 days and defined her jawline. I bought a jawline exerciser from amazon, she wrote in the video, alongside before-and-after photos. I use it for 30 [minutes] (twice a day).
