it's unclear if most ppl realize that ozempic’s real effects on culture haven’t even started.

cuz what you’re seeing now is the first order effects & some glimpses of second order where ppl get thinner & some products experiencing a resurgence.

but the second & third order effects are where things might get gnarly due to the fact that these drugs seem to dampen desire itself across a surprisingly wide range of behaviors (it's not universal or obvious yet). food is simply the first & most obvious target.

liek what happens when millions of people suddenly spend less time thinking about consumption? what happens to industries built around cravings, indulgence, impulse purchases, addiction loops, or even certain forms of entertainment?

entire sections of the economy assume humans will remain governed by the same reward circuitry we’ve had for thousands of years. if these drugs meaningfully alter those circuits, we’re talking about a tool that edits human motivation.

we are gonna see thinness but in a lot of diff ways it seems like.

Just went into my 2yo son’s room to check on him and noticed he needed a diaper change. So I change him as quickly as possible so he wouldn’t wake up. I covered him and started closing his bedroom door and I hear a quiet, sleepy “tank yew” 😭😭😭

This sounds so lame and tiring, no time to be present and actually listen to what another is saying

[Jack @Jackkk]

Kevin O’Leary reveals he has a $6,000 earpiece that makes him more productive

“This thing is connected to my phone. It reads to me every communication I’m getting”

“Even if it comes in a foreign language, it translates it into English for me. I’ve chosen five different languages because I’m doing business in the Middle East”

“If I want to listen to the conversation over there, I can tune it to listen in over there”

“These are not cheap. $6,000 but this thing has saved me so many times when I travel”

“I’m on live TV and I’m getting my messages on all of my deals and this ear is reading it to me and I’m able to absorb that and be more productive”

Be okay with just not saying anything for a seconds and processing and then replying?

[DeeDee - ADHD Helper @DopaminePlsMe]

My ADHD audio processing lag is so embarrassing. someone will ask me a question, I’ll say "what?" because my brain heard noise but no words, and then halfway through them repeating themselves my brain finally finishes rendering the sentence and I just answer them.

[jack friks @jackfriks]

its completely normal to feel incredibly excited one day and then lost another; happy, then sad another. no matter the circumstance we are all just humans.

sex is temporary, being above average at every video game but having no transferable skills to anything useful in life is forever

It is a lot easier to make money in a market where other people are making money.

It’s very hard to be 1/1
It’s very easy to be 1/100

Pick the biggest, ugliest, dumbest category and swing.

The competitors are worse than you think.

I did not know this, for someone who used a scale every single day…

[Bit Paine ⚡️ @BitPaine]

so, fun fact about digital scales: most have fairly wide margins of error, like +/- 1-2%, which is 2-4 lbs on a 200 lbs person,

BUT they mask this by storing your weight in memory for a certain period of time - usually about 15 minutes - if you step off and step right back on, the scale will recognize this and serve you the old weight to mask the measurement error.

so it is likely this person spent just long enough in the shower for the memory to dump, and she got an honest re-read within the scale’s MoE.

[Devon @thought_bender]

Most people don’t read papers, I do. I have done research in science, not a ton but during my undergrad I did.

I’m just as lazy as the next person, so when I saw oasis posts in the past, I took them as accurate and truthful…

Because I was lazy, but it’s done so much damage to brands tbh a- I drink LMNT, and I stopped for a hot minute.

So this is necessary because smaller brands can’t survive hits like this
