So many of these startups are run by techbros and disruptors who don't let silly things like CGMPs stop them. Soothsayers and conmen selling anti-aging cocktails to nobles and emperors that turn out to be poisonous has a long and storied history.

I kinda like the concept of young people getting paid premium money to give blood to billionaires. It's easy work at least. Obviously in a perfect world the blood would be used for hospitals and stuff, but this is not the functioning_society.pptx thread

If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.

Techbros think they’ve cracked the code because there’s fancy buzz words to dress it up Parabiosis studies in mice (where a young and old mouse share a single circulatory system) definitely have shown anti aging or reversal of aging effects. Whether or not occasional blood plasma transfusions have an effect on us is up for debate. Still these people are definitely hosed in the head using their children as their personal blood bags.

Whether or not occasional blood plasma transfusions have an effect on us is up for debate. Still these people are definitely hosed in the head using their children as their personal blood bags. Yeah this is the thing, it gets called "parabiosis", but the only real parabiosis experimentation in humans was done by the likes of Mengele and Unit 751, and was unusable pseudoscientific garbage Its much more mechanistically plausible that a shared circulatory system between a younger and older animal could benefit the older animal by accessing some of the filtration of those youthful kidneys and liver, the surveillance of their immune system, and the regenerative power of their stockpile of undifferentiated stem cells. Just giving someone an aliquot of young blood every now and then is very  by comparison.Hopefully they figure this out and we get to watch a 120 year old Bezos carry around a parasitic twin clone surgically grafted to his back

This was the bridge that collapsed literally hours before a PR visit biden was in town for in Pittsburgh. It became a big spectacle for his 'you idiots are going to cheer the status quo as revolutionary' tour. If joe wasn't already there it absolutely would have gotten the East Palestine treatment.

Doctor: Your liver looks like the liver of a lifetime alcoholic after only eating McDonald's for 30 daysquote:With the #MeToo movement, Spurlock’s reputation has taken a damaging hit. In December 2017, the documentary filmmaker admitted to numerous acts of sexual misconduct while simultaneously admitting he had a history of alcohol abuse. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, documentarian Phelim McAleer points out that Spurlock’s history of alcoholism should call into question the veracity of “Super Size Me.”

He also did a new documentary where he opened a fast food joint to show how much pressure competition puts on places and he was just as lovely as any of them in terms or sourcing food, false advertising, upping the salt and oil to make it addictive, and treating his employees like subhumans. idk if it was satire he seemed to really follow the capitalist line of thought and present himself as a reformed hippy who has finally ~sold out~ he rode the line too safely for it to be satire though, it wasn't fun or funny or insightful, I think he became a true believer
