You just know he’s going to have some hilariously ironic death like the Segway scooter guy. It’s like learning about the guy who claimed God couldn’t sink the Titanic and deciding, “I’m going to do that! Every day!”
I bet he dies becuase there is some old in the lines or fittings and he’s breathing nothing but moldy air all day long.
Or because now his body just thinks it doesn’t need to protect him from airborne diseases and shuts that part down.
I mean heat shock proteins exist. A little grit is needed in life to keep the immune system on its toes.
that’s not how the immune system works. there’s this thing called post-viral illness
Oxygen is so bad for you, too. It literally damages cells. I don’t mean this ironically or anything else. It is physically bad for you to breathe pure oxygen.
Oxygen is corrosive as fuck. That’s why people are so obsessed with anti-oxidants. It’s important to cellular respiration because it is do damn volatile, but our bodies have to do a lot to keep it contained and safe.
The segway guy is actually a pretty sad story. James Haselden was a genuinely good guy, founder of a company making a type of portable and collapsible barrier, originally intended to shore up canals and rivers but ended up solving a variety of problems around the world.
He kept manufacturing local to his childhood home, paying significantly above the average to his staff, created jobs and opportunities for many people in a relatively impoverished community.
Gave many many millions of pounds to charities and good causes.
He bought the segway company, intending on reviving what had become a failing business and died a pretty tragic and stupid death and now all anyone thinks of him is “haha how ironic”.
Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early
Hope they don’t have bare wires and too much velcro.
I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster
makes you agree faster
You’re absolutely right.
Well, a lack of oxygen makes agreements take longer. So I must concur
I only breathe CO2 and I absolutely disagr
He’s dead Jim.
No, he’s just sleeping
Careful with that oxygen
Yeah that stuff can make you agree faster
So, you wanna start a business together?

Uh, high school science teacher. Never really looked it up until today but considering there’s science on the reverse effect (less oxygen for slower aging), I’d say it’s probably not bullshit.

Sure he might outlive us, but honestly what’s the fucking point? At this point for him he’s basically just existing. Is he happy? Is he getting any enjoyment out of life? Because it sure doesn’t seem like it
Hyperbaric treatment is dangerous, and I haven’t even seen a pseudo-scientific (fake science) reason for doing it if like you don’t have mountain sickness or some other "bizarre’ acute problem with what’s in your blood.
Why is this meme implying that olives, Campari and cigarettes is not the peak of human diet that we all know it to be?
Because it’s missing the 6 month old leg of pork that’s so full of nitrates it cannot even rot.
Cigarettes are not.
Neither is Campari, or eating just olives but here we are.

My favorite thing about the whole myth about people in southern Italy regularly living to be over 100 is that it’s actually just pension fraud.
Our bodies have multiple enzymes and antioxidants to keep oxygen from slowly killing us. And this guy wants to concentrate it. Hyperbaric has its uses, making a normal person live longer is not one of them.
I remember seeing a meme about what alien life might be like and they say “what do you mean all life on Earth breathes rocket fuel???”
The dominant species exposes itself to damaging stellar radiation as a form of recreation.
I get these stories as a way of pointing out the inherant absurditity in a lot of every day things…
…but also… life requires energy. Something’s gotta keep the metabolism going. Oxygen is both highly reactive and significantly more abundant than any of its heavier counterparts further down the column. If there is life out there with a metabolic rate anywhere approaching our own, it would be weird if it didn’t use oxygen.
The great filter turned out to be an atmosphere fire. We’re lucky we got nitrogen.
It was a complicated time when life switched to oxygen. We still have life without oxygen btw (mostly in the depths). But those damn plants fucked up a good life for everyone back then.
Plenty of anaerobic bacteria topside! Go take a dump. That smell is mostly their waste products.
Fun fact: Poop is mostly bacteria. Had a gut surgeon tell me it was 90%.
i find that hard to believe, i could see a significant portion like 30%, but surely a lot of it is also cells from the body being flushed out, and just straight up the part of our food that didn’t get absorbed? Like the whole reason we need fibre is so it goes through the digestive system and makes the poo have a good consistency…
Edit: yeah the abstract says that 55% of the solids in poo is bacteria (17% fibre, and 24% other soluble stuff. Also this is in 9 people eating a british diet which isn’t exactly famous for being high in fibre…), so yes technically poo is mostly bacteria but only if you ignore the water and then it’s only barely a majority of the solid matter. Still interesting that it’s that high of a percentage, though.
Dude is going to end up burning alive in that thing
Or die by decompression if the chamber cracks.
Those chambers are normally only done around 2 or 2.5 atmosphere, 3 tops. Not enough to kill anyone if it cracked. A small pop and rushing sound at most depending on the crack size.
Immortan Bryan.
This guy pissing away millions on his ongoing psychosis episode should be grounds enough to ban billionaires forever.
hes very obsessed with extending his lifespan compared to other billionaires, his pretty extreme. hes basically like that billionaire in ROYAL PAINS show from usa network, where he was using sharks, unsanctioned research from cuba, to “extend his lifespan, treat his illness”
the sad thing is that the best way we know of to extend your life is just getting plenty of exercise, eating healthy, having friends, and avoiding cancer.
simply by trying so hard to live longer he’s probably shortening his lifespan from the stress
hes trying the pseudoscience way unfortunately. he alleges hes doing research, but not collaborating with universities or research teams. he was such a FREAK over it, he dumped taryn southern over her breast cancer diagnosis(on a video of another influencer, she allegedes she was diagnosed very young for stage 3 breast cancer, it reminded him of her mortality.
for all the hate the guy gets, I do appreciate that he’s at least taking a science-based approach and publishes what works/doesn’t. The core building blocks he continually pushes people to follow are the basics we already know: good sleep, food and exercise.
Outside of the common sense he’s tried various protocols and only continues them if the biomarkers they’re tracking show some kind of improvement. He’s spending his millions to test things and publish data for us to use, I don’t see any harm in that. He’s even published basic meals (Super Veggie) that anyone can make to ensure they’re eating healthy and getting the most bang for their buck (nutrient to caloric content ratio).
Sample of one is pretty shit though.
Bro out here discontinuing amino acids like it’s his morning routineI thought the same, then I read about his confidentiality agreements to control narratives.
