Juicero is such a good modern metaphor. Roundabout, wasteful, awkward way of getting juice instead of just buying and eating a fucking orange. Or better yet pick one off a tree

well, I don't feel good, but it does help sometimes to think about how much worse i'd feel trapped inside a horrible unhealthy body

My boomer aunt ordered something similar to the foot pads.
She paid $50 for 2 and didn't seem to understand it was on a recurring subscription

Had to write an angry email telling the deutchland turks to fuck off

Then last month she ordered some "weight loss pills" for $200. It was just a typical supplement stavk with various shit in it lol, which I made her fucking return (lost $40 to shipping because the postal service here is a fucking scam)
Got her some tirz instead, which she knows works because she lost 4kg in 2 months last year after I got her a vial to try.

Needless to say, retired boomers with houses paid for tend to buy the dumbest shit

Did this actually make any money? I'm a fool to work for a living. I need to invent products that do nothing so people pay me for them. Detox Mood Rings and shit.

I legitimately don't know. Probably the same thing as an ace wrap, but disposable? So you're just throwing your fucking money away each time you use it

This actually works though. I encoursge people to read the research of Dr.
Andreas Kalcker
Along with DMSO. These are two of the most effective remedies on earth for for a range of applications. DMSO should be in every home and medicine cabinet. Athletes use it topically for injuries. It is effective for TBIs
>DMSO is an effective pain killer, blocking nerve
conduction fibers that produce pain. It reduces
inflammation and swelling by reducing inflammatory
chemicals. It improves blood supply to an area of injury
by dilating blood vessels and increasing delivery of
oxygen and by reducing blood platelet stickiness. It
stimulates healing, which is a key to its usefulness in
any condition. It is among the most potent free radical
scavengers known to man, if not the most potent one.

Lifting can help with depressive symptoms that are tied to things like self-esteem, perceived desirability, etc, but yeah it's not going to flush your brain with "happy chemicals" the same way intense steady state aerobic exercise does. When I do cardio for over an hour (like when I go to my gym's spin classes), im BUZZING for a good 4+ hours afterwards. If i'm really going through it in life I will sometimes do 2 sessions a day to keep that high going.

Lifting heavy = to gain confidence / self-esteem
Intense cardio = for brain flush

The attempt is what does that. Results are irrelevant

When I played rugby, we had a prop who's shoulders were like, ripped near the scapula or something and he's get his scapula tapped into a retracted position before every game/practice or else he wouldn't be able to brace properly.

It's just tape, you use it to work around injury. It isn't some kind of magic rune shit though. There are real uses though.

One explanation I read was for injuries. If your limb is taped down with it in a certain position, it should give you an idea of how to keep it in that place and avoid moving it.

This, k-tape has it's purpose. My daughter is in cross country but would keep getting partial patella subluxion, bit of k-tape before runs would help the knee cap track better. Or help her keep in a gate that prevented the subluxion, idk. But it worked.

Ozempic will of course be next, and people will see the ads about if you took this during when youre entitled to money.

Hard work excercise and diet is the simplest arithmetic, it's the tried and true method, but lazy people want to cut corners or find a "hack", so they spend small fortunes and actually adversely affect their health instead of just putting in the effort, and it never changes cause they didnt change the behaviors that made them a pig in the first place, so it's only a matter of time.
