They’ve been pumping this bio-hacking startup on the Orange Site ™ for the past few months. Now they’ve got Siskind shilling for them.

    I like that instead of a study to back up their project, they have… one guy! Who tried it a month ago!

    I thought this looked kind of interesting and not especially grifty apart from the usual anti-FDA narrative up until

    The plan is:

    Phase 1: (January 2024) Sell to biohackers in Prospera for $20,000.

    By good luck, Prospera will soon be hosting a two month super-conference of biotech and crypto entrepreneurs/enthusiasts.

    whence my eyes did an uzumaki. And also Aela is somehow involved, apparently.

    Give them the benefit of a doubt, sure, maybe they are pandering this hard to an audience that self selects for gullibility and cultbrain and against consumer protections strictly for the greater good, merely accelerating what should have already happened if it weren’t for those meddlin’ kids at the FDA.

    I remember this… wasn’t this on old Sneerclub?

    I think the consensus was, you still need to brush your teeth to avoid gingivitis, which is at least as big a deal for dental health as caries.

      It’s from today’s acx, apparently they offered free samples to the siskind household.

      edit: this is not sarcasm.
