“I should’ve just taken a nap instead of popping open my blood boy fridge and getting a quick hit,” said the anxious fintech founder, noting that so much blood so late in the day was bad for his sleep schedule and he could already feel the middle schooler’s testosterone upping his heart rate.

We’ve reached the point where reality is just too bloody close to The Onion.

I would bet that some billionaires have chats that are akin to that at this very moment.

Even if the child blood is replaced with something like salmon sperm (or even ruby/diamond) facials or NAD+ injections.

Yes I know, but the blood boy thing is probably rather more rare than non-blood related youth treatments in general.

Satire is getting bloody impossible though

There are rich people who have tried already every fluid you can extract from a child, now salmon sperm facials, that's something I haven't heard before.
