Found a strange, single, long hair growing off my chin the other day. I’m a woman in my mid-30s with no tendencies toward facial hair whatsoever.
It reminded me of when I was working in a nursing home, and such hairs would just appear, already over an inch long, on patients’ faces. It was as if they sprouted overnight.
It was a disturbing moment to find one on myself. But hey, it was still my natural color and the length made it easy to pluck. So, can’t complain. Yet.
I’ve noticed there’s a thing where our brains filter out fine details, especially in mirrors. When I have a lot of time to pluck and want to try to get everything, you can sway left-right in the mirror to try to add a kind of dither, visually, and that helps see stuff you wouldn’t, otherwise. However, knowing this is terrifying because then you start seeing all kinds of stuff that other people probably see that you normally don’t and now I wanna die. So, use this knowledge with caution.
That’s my theory for old people with sudden face hair. Not that it grows, but it’s hard to see.
That’s just the bloating in your stomach.
When you turn 30, you develop this incredibly urge to start eating lots of beans, commonly marking the transition to being an old man with the obligatory old man habits.
As someone living in a country with an increasing overaging problem (current birthrate per woman: 1,35 children…), I see this happening in realtime, and I can tell you it is really not a good thing.
The problem is the extra air growing in weird places.

Extra AIR?!
Sounds horrifying!

Imagining the entire populace becoming old men
Shudders…
