I’m having a really hard time coming up with an idea for my next hack after it was released. I was thinking of doing a video comparing diet culture from the past to the more acceptable forms of diet culture today. Or, instead of diet culture, weight loss methods more broadly. There are plenty of old diet horrors and things we can all agree are outrageous, like when women used to eat boiled eggs and have wine for every meal. But today, I think the same attitude of starving yourself has been socialized and more accepted. I’m not sure if anyone else remembers, but Kim Kardashian released appetite suppressant lollipops probably like 10 or so years ago, and I remember seeing that as a kid and wondering if I should have those. They’re lollipops after all… right? I would like to possibly transform this idea into my hack, but I’m concerned I can’t do it in a way that wouldn’t be extremely triggering to some people. I’m going to think about ways where I can mitigate any potential harm from watching it and see if it is still a feasible idea I can feel good about putting into the world. I’m also concerned about making something like that without a clear message because things can quickly be taken out of their intended context on the internet. 

I have no other ideas right now so I’m going to keep thinking about alternatives if I don’t feel right about this one.
