What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years? (self.asklemmy)

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or maybe even the next 50 years?

Drugs are not legal in Portugal. It's decriminalised up to small amounts (ie personal use), which is different.

My understanding is that:

If you get caught with a couple of joints (or any drugs), they are confiscated, you are identified and you might have to pay a fine, do community service or go to an addiction consultation.

If you're over that limit, but not overly, you get the above + go to court and will likely receive suspended sentence and will have a criminal record.

If you get caught with a truckload (obviously for distribution), if it's your first offence you'll likely also get suspended sentence, such is the state of our justice. If it's not your first offence, you'll likely do jail time.
