I’m definitely not the target audience of an ad like that, my thought is “life is short, don’t waste it in front of a screen” (yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing here on lemmy 🫠). I would bet that a life of playing video games will feel like it flew by much more than one out doing stuff in the world, but it probably depends on the games and the outdoor stuff so ymmv
Edit: this is a joke, I don’t need suicide support.
BUT if someone does, seek help because life gets so much better, but only if you keep trying. Don’t give up! Lean on friends and family, there’s help to be found everywhere.

There’s a condition called progeria that is pretty much the real version of this.
Unfortunately - however you might take that - it usually takes a decade or two and is pleasant for no-one.
Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy let alone their kid.
But if you’re looking for a more entertaining take, try this shocking 2002 XBox TV ad that was quickly banned in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjeYb7_kPqo

I viewed it as “play more versus sitting at a desk at work” sort of thing.
Less time bad screen, more time good screen.
Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow you may die.
Fingers crossed! 🤞

Maybe this condition was what supposed.to be normal for humans? So we could live as long as our four legged friends?
Shocking? Very pearl clutchy take.
I’m sorry, but that wasn’t shocking, and it clearly wasn’t about progeria.
