Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech

Notorious “looksmaxxing” influencer Braden “Clavicular” Peters can’t get enough of extreme attempts to make himself look more attractive.

He’s tried everything from “bonesmashing,” a bizarre practice that involves striking his face with a hammer, to taking steroids, testosterone, and methamphetamine, a drug he uses to stay lean.

Whether any of those risky interventions have been particularly effective is anybody’s guess; Peters certainly draws attention during his marathon public streams, but it’s hard to say whether that’s because his looksmaxxing efforts have paid off, or if bystanders are just bemused by his viral fame.

Regardless, the risks to the 20-year-old Peters’ physical health are obvious. He was rushed rushed to the hospital in April after an incident involving a “pentastack” of illegal drugs, after which he vowed to avoid “doing any more substances for a little while, hopefully for forever.”

It’s hard to imagine a world in which he continues lookmaxxing without suffering more health scares, or worse. And even if he somehow avoids that fate, he’s now quickly becoming a case study in a phenomenon familiar to generations of celebrities: getting a lot of cosmetic interventions is almost certain to make you increasingly strange-looking — a special type of nightmare for somebody as fundamentally obsessed with looks as Peters.

It strongly appears to be starting. Earlier this month, Peters underwent a rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery, significantly altering the shape of his nose. But tragedy struck: the online peanut gallery that drove him to fame wasn’t impressed with the results.

“Botched, unfortunately,” one user tweeted. “His natural nose with the wider nostril flair gave him a more aggressively masculine look, temperamental, dangerous. New nose is a boy’s nose, too thin for his face. Sad to see it.”

“You’re lowkey descending,” another argued on TikTok, a reference to a looksmaxxing meme about “ascending to Chad status” — or “descending” back out of it.

The media was even more unforgiving. “Manosphere Clown’s Plastic Surgery Reveal Draws Brutal Backlash,” read one representative headline.

Peters revealed during a livestream that he was convinced by a celebrity plastic surgeon to get a nose job.

“My nose is more straight, it’s less wide, the [bottom of the nose] and the tip is de-rotated slightly,” he enthused.

Peters also promised that “once the swelling goes down, I am going to be mogging,” a slang term in the looksmaxxing subculture that describes looking better than somebody else.

Peters was defiant in the face of the many negative comment, claiming to not “give a f***, personally.”

“I know it looks good,” he added.

Peters even posed next to a Michael Jackson impersonator during a recent TikTok, jokingly asking his followers: “Who had a better nose job?”

A nose job isn’t a particularly risky procedure, and there are plenty of perfectly valid reasons to get elective cosmetic surgery. But given Peters’ obsession with his appearance, we have a feeling that nothing is ever going to be enough — likely dooming him to a hell of his own creation: looking stranger and stranger until there’s no doubt that he’s a laughingstock, not an aspirational icon.
