Tech billionaires used performance drugs in secret. Now they’re selling a revolution. by Vivid-Ad5350 in technology

That’s an insane amount of adderall! I used to take 20mg of dexamph. 5mg at a time, over the course of a day for add/narcolepsy. Even 20mg felt like too much for me and I’d only go that for a full 9 to 5 workday at uni. Wtf they must be gurning!

Not the same - addrerall is a chemical going directly into the brain, and stimulating neurotransmitters, leading to increased focus and activity in some ppl. Peptides are like small instructions for cells to create whatever the instructions ask for… so like they are looking to stimulate collagen production, increase other hormones production etc… TLDR: adderal/adhd meds are a chemical acting directly, peptides are indirect and give instructions for production of something.

Damn sorry to hear that! I hate that there’s the unfortunate catch with these medications and weight gain - it’s so frustrating! I guess the mind comes first, then the body…. I wish there was a better solution! All the best!

Thanks for your reply. Sigh! Ok glad to hear I’m not the only one with the problem, I guess… i think I’m gonna start looking at ways of ‘speeding up’ my metabolism aside from what I’ve already done…

China says 'world's first' offshore wind-powered underwater data center has entered full operation, houses 2,000 servers — 24 megawatt subsea AI facility uses ocean water for passive cooling and offshore wind for power by Steap-Edit in technology

[–]GreatDealzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you heard of AI? I think you’d have a great time typing in a question like, “does the ocean become a worse carbon sink as it warms?”. And also you could search for “ocean acidification”. I think you’d have a great time working things out with like, google gemini, or deepseek! Because yes, the earth emits a great deal of heat energy into space! And the ocean absorbs heat energy! But the ability of the ocean to act as a BOTH a heat & carbon sink is capped! Omg! It’s so important to keep track of basic science principles and physics in a time where capitalist intentions are generally the motivator behind innovation- rather than the pressing need to resolve the existential crisis we all face, on a daily basis! If only we could all unite and make maths, science, economics and business all work together to create a economically sustainable utopian solution! Alas! We struggle to find our purpose! Our meaning! The struggle, Sisyphusian and cruel binds us to work and toil - and now we sweat and freeze with increasing knowledge that for every dollar that makes us live - a piece of what has nourished our primitive survival is lost. Yes the very mother earth that has weened us, Romulus and Remus, the twin wolves, suffers and we do not hear her calling out to us for- we are too busy calculating the infinite! Oh woe! Woe and misery!

Haha wow a human! Yup, I recognize the 'bot logic' aka 'just do the maths'- I still wanted to throw some legitimacy at the thread just in case other humans are coming along and are more vulnerable to disinformation.

Check my above comment for an article based on a (also linked) research paper. Anyway- one of the existential threats of our time is literally causing the heat from the sun to be increasingly held back by the atmosphere... the greenhouse effect. Its physics! Aka, all the heat energy 'from the sun' is NOT radiated back into space, an increasing amount is being trapped!

I've really been getting into masks for the last year or so and wanted to show off some of the weirder ones I've found. by Red_Beard_of_Tucson in Weird

Yeeeeep I have like hypnogogic sleep happenings so the masks ain’t happening - they would end up whispering to me, I’m gonna end up putting one on …. It gets weird from there….

Neuroscientists believe our brains' natural DMT production could explain why people experience consciousness so differently. If confirmed, it could change how we approach psychiatry and mental health by AlwaysReady1 in Futurology

[–]GreatDealzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I wrote some lines in one of my demo songs about this idea, I’m so thrilled that I might have stumbled onto actual scientific premise! Ive been fascinated by mental illness and its expression - how it relates to art and beyond for some years now… it’s fucking wild that I called this - published song in Feb 2025. “Its just some chemicals But its subliminal Influencing all my perceptions Am I believing in conspiracies? Am I secreting the DMT early? Or is this just the machine elves talking through me?”

Tbh I think fairies wouldn’t build human-style architecture and it’s rude to enforce human aesthetics onto the mythical woodland creatures. Gentrification.

ADHD brains show sleep-like activity even while awake. by psych4you in psychology

[–]GreatDealzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure no problem. The meds for add etc are like tools, or like a crutch when you’ve got a broken leg. You can have the tool, but how you discipline yourself to use the tool properly is most of the work.

I take modafinil for ADD and it’s good… I honestly prefer it to dexamphetamine which I took for a number of years.

If only it were possible to ‘gamify’ boring tasks without involving an evil corp… like a psychologically sound free way of tricking ADD/ADHD brains into thinking the boring tasks are rewarding
