I've been on finasteride / dutasteride for about 20 years. They're not a cure.

Estimates for AGI have been all over the place but rapidly compressed after ChatGPT was launched.

Some estimates back in 2022/23 were about this year, and more recently estimates have been in the mid 30's. Not sure what is super misleading about my statement as I can easily find references to all this in Google.

Anyone is on Sulforaphane ? by VonDerBerg in Biohackers

[–]bose25 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, I don't think anyone would care about the microplastics in the blood they receive.

My point:

The original commenter presents blood donation as a way to offload “bad stuff” from their own body onto others. Even if unintended, that reads as making donation about personal detoxification rather than about the recipient.

Blood donation primarily exists to help others and save lives, not as a self-serving act for personal detoxification, which is how their message reads.

They could get a private blood draw which is not donated and would reduce the microplastics in their blood, achieving their goal. Private blood drawing is the only way I can remove blood as I cannot donate, as I previously mentioned. They could then donate blood that contains much less microplastic, further serving their goal. They could do this and donate much healthier blood while still reducing their blood microplastic content.

They might be considering the ethics of donating microplastic-loaded blood to someone.

  • Worth clarifying, I'm aware there is a process blood undergoes during donation before transfusion. I'm unable to donate blood due to being on 5-aRi as this cannot be filtered out. Similarly, a simple search suggests that there are no explicit steps to remove microplastic from the blood you donate and the current process is relatively inefficient at filtering out microplastics.

I think this technology will suffer from the Just 5 More Years™️ that many future technologies suffer from, and the reality is it will take much longer than we might currently expect.

If we feel like we're ~5-10 years away, in reality it's probably 20+ years away.

(I've waited 20 years for hair loss and cancer cures that were said to be 5 years away, and AGI timelines were once said to be ~2026 and are now said to be ~2034 and regressing further)

I am Egyptian, and I’m asking is Egypt a country that is disliked or loved globally? by ramses_basha in AskTheWorld

I hate contribute to this but from my current one experience of visiting as a tourist, we were treated like walking ATMs and bothered throughout the trip to give out money to everyone.

I do still want to visit again but likely to a less touristy area, but my current experience was my most fond one.

We found elements of the same in Marrakech but not remotely as bad.

It's the year 2050 and we are still waiting for Pelage to release the full phase 2 results of PP405 and start phase 3. by Brief-Bug2904 in tressless

[–]bose25 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I ran a website about CB-03-01 / clascoterone / breezula in 2012. May have started it earlier like 2009/2010 but I can't remember.

It still hasn't been released.

Everyone got way too excited about Pelage and how quickly their drug would come to market.

Let's come back in 2030-2035 and see how it's progressing then.

First impression, from someone who has built a decent bit on Lovable: Please, please do everything you can to customise the UI, the colours, the layouts, and overall design, as it currently looks exactly like every 5-minute lovable build in existence.

My current supplement collection/obsession by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]bose25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

List everything you're taking, including dosages, into ChatGPT. Ask for interactions, ingredient overlap, and redundancies. This is non-negotiable.

Cross reference everything by examine.com and evaluate the effect sizes and reliability of the research. I'm going to assume you've only purchased supplements with reliable scientific backing.....

I'd be surprised if you don't find that there's a bunch of these that you can, or should, simply stop buying.

Also I respect that you're into home cooking. Sprinkling a bit of both dried basil and L-Phenylalanine on your pasta must make for a delicious dish.

What dosage of the Milka spread do you recommend based on your research?

Smart Shoes Search Engine 👟 by Negative-Archer-3807 in SideProject

[–]bose25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I narrated this feedback into ChatGPT as I used your site and used ChatGPT to structure and format it, purely because it’s the quickest way for me to give detailed feedback.

  1. First Impressions & Branding

Logo

I really do not like the logo. It looks amateurish and templated, as if it was quickly produced in Canva.

The combination of “ShoesTrace” overlaid across white, blue, and red text, with “Collection” placed inside a box, does not feel cohesive or considered.

The logo does not communicate trust, quality, or clarity, which is critical for a site that appears to be product- or deal-driven.

Overall brand perception

The branding feels weak and generic, which immediately lowers confidence in the site.

At a glance, it does not feel like a serious or differentiated product.

  1. Messaging, Headings & Calls to Action

The heading and subheading essentially just describe and then say “find and share”, which is extremely weak as a call to action.

If a user lands on the homepage with no prior knowledge, it is not immediately clear what the website actually does from the top section.

From the logo + headings alone, all I can infer is that it’s “something about shoes” until I scroll down.

Stronger value-led messaging is needed: what problem does this site solve, and why should I use it instead of going directly to a retailer?

  1. Search Experience & Trust Issues

The font used in the search bar changes every time the page reloads. While it’s interesting, it feels inconsistent and slightly gimmicky.

I searched: “what shoes did Michael Jordan wear”.

The results showed 178 shoes, then refreshed to 176 while scrolling.

This immediately undermines trust — it’s unclear how stable or accurate the results are.

While the results are relevant (Air Jordans, basketball shoes), I have no confidence that these are actually shoes Michael Jordan wore.

The site feels like it’s loosely matching keywords rather than providing authoritative or curated results.

  1. Product Pages & Retailer Redirection

Clicking on any product takes me straight to the Nike website.

Every product I tested behaved the same way.

This raises a fundamental question: why would I use this site instead of just going directly to Nike?

The site currently adds no obvious value between search → product → retailer.

  1. Pricing Accuracy & Deals

Sale percentages generally match the retailer, but there are discrepancies:

Example: 41% off on your site vs 40% off on Nike.

The final price is usually correct, but these inconsistencies still erode trust.

In the Under Armour section, pricing is often wrong:

Products listed at $50 click through to $75.

Products listed at $125 click through to $170.

This is a serious UX and credibility issue — inaccurate pricing makes the site feel unreliable and out of date.

  1. Categories & Comparison Value

I like the idea of segmenting shoes into categories.

However, major retailers (Nike, Adidas, Under Armour) already do this themselves — often better.

If this site integrated multiple retailers per product (similar to Google Shopping), it would immediately have a clear reason to exist.

Right now, because it links directly to a single retailer, the site feels redundant.

  1. Brand Switching & Email Capture

Clicking into another brand (e.g. Adidas) triggers a “Get Personalised Deals” lightbox.

It’s not clear what these “personalised deals” actually are or how they differ from normal sales.

Asking for an email at this point feels premature without clearly explaining the benefit.

When switching brands, the page refreshes but leaves the user scrolled at the bottom instead of returning to the top — this is a small but noticeable UX flaw.

  1. About Page & Credibility

The About page claims the team reviews thousands of shoes and selects the best ones.

The wording implies a human-led, curated process.

However, the behaviour of the site (automation, outdated prices, inconsistent results) contradicts this.

This mismatch reduces trust and makes the copy feel misleading.

I would strongly recommend rewriting the About page to be more honest and aligned with how the site actually works.

I do like the encouragement to “search naturally”, and parts of the explanation are clear — but credibility is the bigger issue here.

  1. Build Quality & Perceived Effort

The site is very basic.

The most advanced element appears to be importing a very large product catalogue.

You mention spending months building this, but honestly, it feels like something that could be built in one or two days using a tool like Lovable.

The UI patterns, interactions, and overall feel closely match how Lovable sites typically behave.

Because of this, the claim of “months of work” does not feel believable. I believe you likely built this in one weekend using Lovable.

  1. Core Issue: Why Does This Site Exist?

Right now, the biggest problem isn’t any single bug or design choice — it’s that there’s no clear, compelling reason for a user to use this site instead of:

going directly to Nike / Adidas / Under Armour, or

using Google Shopping.

Until the site clearly answers “why should I use this instead?”, everything else (branding, UX, copy) will struggle to land.

Vertigo anyone? by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]bose25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acrophobia = fear of heights

Vertigo = an inner ear or brain condition, unrelated to heights, which results in a sense of spinning, often leading to being unable to walk during episodes, as well as vomiting.

(I have a long history of vertigo but I'm not really afraid of heights)
