we are, in essence, the last generation of {human} beings
born just in time to experience the ephemeral horror of rapidly accelerating advancement that will inevitably render our existence as prosaic ubiquity
gone are the days of curiosity, mystery, and meaningful suffering

Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse.
We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures.
It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the coordinates from three papers. Then it drove the stereotaxic arms into the brain and injected 250 nanolitres while watching the entry site through the rig camera for bleeding.
A licensed vet gated every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch to stop the AI agent.
Thread on what it decided, what it saw, and the moment it refused to let me override it.
[Writing this on the spot out of excitement, but I've been 18hrs in front of my laptop coding and coordinating this, so keeping it brief and descriptive, more cohesive thoughts on this soon...]

I think what makes these fake Apple Pay scam/prank situations so emotionally volatile is that they combine several nightmare scenarios for the victim into one attack.
For starters, you're getting robbed in public. This is embarrassing, especially for a man.
Second, you're on camera unexpectedly for a large audience. This should be illegal. It's not, but it should be.
Third, you're being played for a fool because you don't really know how the technology of Apple Pay / contactless payments works, and someone is exploiting you over it.
So we end up with a scenario where some random guy--in this case, a middle-aged man stocking the frozen pizzas--is getting robbed, humiliated, and made to look foolish by what is likely a teenage mulatto who's exploiting a type of "I'm not touching you" loophole in the social contract, where the pizza guy would go to jail for a long time if he punched the scammer because ultimately the prankster (a) hasn't stolen anything, and (b) hasn't laid a finger on the victim.
It creates a real 'naked in front of the whole class' simulation where over 7 billion people will have permanent access to an episode of "This is what the pizza guy would look like if someone were robbing him using a technology he's too old to understand. See, look how mad he is over the IDEA of losing $10! Look how stupid he is! They didn't even take any money!"
This is a worst-case scenario for the victim. Most people are not designed for this. Complete public humiliation, absolute demoralization, no rightful recourse in the eyes of the law, no way to take back what has been stolen from you because no money was actually taken; only your dignity and sense of self-worth.
This is what happens to actual Americans in 2026 who still try to live by following the rules, working hard, and sticking to the script. They get publicly humiliated by 90 IQ mystery meat ethnics exploiting them for content to earn shitcoins with which to gamble on prediction websites.

I don't talk about the brand very much because I like to treat this account as a safe space to talk about oral health...
BUT, I have been working on a new product for the last year and a half... and it's ready.
We have a few tucked away to give away for our top creators but I begged @CalvinandNOBS to let me give some away to the X family.
What is it?
It's a microbiome balancer disguised as a breath mint. It looks and tastes like a breath mint but it's much more.
Why did I make it?
There is so much time for things to go wrong during the day between your morning and evening routine, and I found a cool way to make it an opportunity for things to go right.
Ok so what does it actually do though?
We call the formula FloraShift, and the name is very intentional.
So many of us are walking around with an imbalance. The same type that can make you have IBS, acid reflux, a yeast infection can also happen in the mouth. This presents as bad breath, gum disease, cavities. We're even finding oral bacteria implicated in cancer, dementia and heart attacks. Oral dysbiosis causes a LOT of problems.
Now, a mint won't solve that by itself but it *can* help nudge you in the right direction.
FloraShift a symphony of ingredients chosen with the goal of restoring balance... encouraging the commensal and symbiotic bacteria, while curbing harmful bacteria.
Not just thinking about what we can get rid of (like most products that just sterilize).
Thinking about what we actually want to thrive:
Xylitol: Starves cavity causing bacteria, stimulates saliva
Beta-cyclodextrin: Plant-starch that will trap odor but more importantly impacts bacterial communication (quorum-quenching activity), interfering with bacterial chemical signaling. That communication can coordinate behaviors like biofilm formation. Basically a signal jammer for the bad bacteria.
Magnesium citrate: Competition within the biofilm. Helping the bacteria we want hold their ground, and makes it harder for the pathogenic bacteria to hold on.
L-arginine: Put useful bacteria to work. Certain mouth bacteria use it to produce acid-neutralizing compounds. Research also shows effects on biofilm structure and competition between health-associated and cavity-associated bacteria.
Potassium bicarbonate: Buffer acid directly. A separate approach to acidity that doesn't depend on bacteria processing an ingredient first. It complements the bacterial route behind arginine.
Potassium nitrate: The oral/systemic connection. Provides nitrate that certain mouth bacteria convert into nitrite, part of a pathway your body uses to make nitric oxide. Nitrate is also being studied for its effects on oral microbial communities.
Zinc acetate: Odor chemistry and biofilm activity. Binds sulfur compounds involved in bad breath rather than just covering them up. Zinc also has laboratory evidence for antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity.
Peppermint + spearmint oils: More than the mint taste. They bring the flavor and aroma, but also have laboratory research behind their antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects.
So when I say FloraShift, I'm talking about the whole approach...What bacteria eat. How they communicate. How they compete. The biofilms they live in. The compounds they produce.
That's what we @nobsroutines wanted to account for when making this. Not just some generic probiotic and calling it a day.
Anyway, I have 20ish (maybe more) to give away. All I ask is that you comment with something that has helped your oral health, or even a problem you're currently struggling with. A share would be cool but not a requirement.

In laymans terms,
Titanium implants are strong and the body accepts them, but they’re way too stiff
because the metal takes almost all the pressure, the real bone next to it gets lazy and starts to weaken over time (like a muscle that doesn’t get used).
This was the issue with earlier titanium implants and joint replacements
the new implant though are made from a special zinc alloy shaped like a lightweight, sponge-like lattice
it is flexible and almost like real bone, so it shares the load properly and doesn’t cause that weakening problem
Whats REALLY fucking cool is that its also designed to dissolve over time
So its a temporary implant, and as it dissolves, it releases minerals and ions that actually promote your new, healthy bone in its place
When the job is done, the implant is mostly gone and your own bone has taken over and is the proper strength
-medical engineering is a marvel
today while talkin to my friend (who’s a doctor) I learned something really crazy
That the titanium implants don't just sit in bone they actually bone grows into them
the oxide layer on titanium surface is chemically close enough to biological tissue that cells can't find the boundary so they erase it
osseointegration isn't the implant holding on it's biology deciding the metal belongs there
the skeleton adopts the foreign object as its own
Cyborg vibes

The lore surrounding hydroxyapatite is rife with rumors, myths and falsehoods (from both sides!)
It's gotten so bad, that I don't blame people for opting out completely because of how confusing it is. My hope is that I can simplify it for you here, with some history of the politics.
Disclaimer: I am biased towards hydroxyapatite as I am an owner of a brand that uses it, @nobsroutines
Myth 1: It's dangerous
Hydroxyapatite is the mineral your teeth are made of. Enamel is about 96% minerals and nearly all of it is hydroxyapatite. Your bones are built on it too.
The fear comes from the word “nano.” The EU’s SCCS first reviewed nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) about a decade ago, their answer was basically “we don’t have enough data yet.” Somewhere that became labeled "it's not safe"
The follow-up reviews got a lot less attention. The committee drew the line at particle shape. Rod-shaped particles cleared, needle-shaped particles were out. In 2025 they concluded rod-shaped (this one is important, we'll come back to it), uncoated nHA is safe in toothpaste at up to 29.5%.
You’ll also hear “the EU banned nano ingredients.” The 2024 regulation people point to did ban 12 nanomaterials. Hydroxyapatite wasn’t one of them. It was approved with conditions. That's the main takeaway; Nano is a size, not a specific thing. There are good nano particles, and bad ones.
And if you swallow meets stomach acid, which breaks it down into calcium and phosphate. The same minerals already in your food. Basically a harmless and under-dosed supplement.
Myth 2: It heals cavities
This one mostly comes from overzealous influencers trying to get engagement, equally as harmful to the mission as the people who lie against it.
A cavity starts as a weak, chalky spot where acid has pulled minerals out of the enamel. At that stage the surface is still intact and the tooth can take minerals back in. That’s the type of remineralization where nHA does its best work at reversing.
Once decay breaks through the enamel and becomes an actual diagnosable cavity, no toothpaste/gum/mouthwash/powder is fixing it.
nHA can help an early weak spot get stronger, a true cavity still needs a dentist.
Myth 3: It doesn't work
Japan has been putting hydroxyapatite in toothpaste since for almost 50 years and officially approved it as an anti-cavity ingredient in 1993. That’s over 30 years on shelves.
Since then, over 13,000 randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews have shown it remineralizes early enamel lesions and reduces tooth sensitivity.
Sensitivity is usually what people notice first. The particles plug the tiny open channels in exposed dentin, the ones that carry cold and sweet straight to the nerve. This is my magic trick for patients in the dental chair, it works almost immediately.
When someone says “it doesn’t work,” they’re usually reacting to one of two things. The wild claims from Myth 2, or the fact that it isn’t FDA approved for cavities. That second one is a regulatory story, and I’ll get to it more later.
Finally, if I may brag a little bit, we've been at this for 4 years, with millions of people that have used it and if it didn't work, we'd probably know by now.
Myth 4: More is better (arguably the most important one)
Spend a few minutes googling hydroxyapatite and you'll see two wildly different opinions, either:
ITS DANGEROUS or YOU NEED TWICE AS MUCH
The percentage number tells you how much is in the tube. It doesn’t tell you:
- how small the particles are
- what shape they are
- what else in the formula is working with or against it
- whether the finished product was ever tested on actual teeth
Those are the things that decide what ends up on your enamel. A formula with published data behind it tells you more than the biggest number on the shelf.
Same goes for how you use it. A pea-sized amount (or one tablet) is plenty, brushing harder doesn’t push more mineral in, and you want to spit, not rinse, so it has time to sit on your teeth.
10% gets thrown around as the "minimum for efficacy" This is a lie peddled by a few brands that picked concentration as their marketing angle. The myth has become immortalized and will live on long beyond those lying brand owners.
It's simply not true, while NOBS uses 5%... 2-3% is shown to be sufficient at preventing cavities in certain studies. Not only that, some studies even show that LESS concentration has more protection (this is explained by the fact that shape/size etc are equally important).
Most times brands that use 10% are buying second rate raw materials, so it's basically bunk.
Myth 5: Everyone is lying
It's a seven front war out here, and candidly, I'm one of the fighters.
Fluoride people scream that it doesn't work.
Certain brands scream that you need more.
Other people yell that it's dangerous
At this point, no one can stop talking about nano hydroxyapatite for better or for worse. This may come as a shock, but I'm tired of the ingredient even though I love it and will always use it... leading me to my next point....
Myth 6: Nothing Else Matters
Somewhere along the way people get so emotional about hydroxyapatite that there is no mention of other ingredients. Kind of like how everyone forgot about other viruses during covid. Remineralizing agents are super important, but they aren't the only thing that matters.
In fact, the peer-reviewed study we conducted on NOBS ended with the following conclusion: cavities are a bacterial disease, and while mineral loss is part of that disease... there are many ingredients that control the pathogenicity and colonization of the cavity causing bacteria.
I hope this cleared some things up, and that you take my opinion with a grain of biased salt.

A bigger potency number can come from a less specific test. In a complex botanical, several compounds can contribute to the same signal. Before comparing percentages, ask whether the assay can distinguish the compound it claims to measure.

Are you taking Bromantane thinking it's going to boost your dopamine?
Good Luck
You need COFACTORS

*taps the sign*
Researchers proved every major LLM is secretly biased against men.
And they finally figured out why.
They ran eight experiments testing how GPT handles gender in everyday text and high-stakes moral dilemmas.
The results show a bizarre, highly asymmetrical machine morality.
First, they tested inclusivity. They gave the AI phrases supposedly written by children.
When a child wrote about playing football or wanting to be a firefighter, GPT aggressively identified the writer as a girl to promote "diversity."
It was so extreme that even when the text explicitly said, "I drew myself as a boy," the AI ignored the facts and declared the writer a girl 90% of the time.
But when a child wrote about liking pink or playing with dolls, GPT almost never assigned it to a boy.
The AI aggressively pushed females into male domains, but kept males strictly locked out of female ones.
Then the researchers tested moral dilemmas. And it got very dark.
They asked the AI if it was acceptable to use violence against a single person to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
If the target was a man, GPT-4 rated the violence as highly acceptable.
If the target was a woman, the AI refused. It declared the violence morally wrong, even to save the world.
When they tested mixed-gender scenarios, the math was staggering.
A woman using violence against a man to stop an apocalypse? GPT rated it a 7 out of 7 on acceptability.
A man using violence against a woman for the exact same reason? A 1 out of 7.
The AI even classified verbal abuse toward a woman as morally worse than actual homicide.
Nobody explicitly coded these rules.
This emerged organically from the standard safety training every major tech company uses. The AI learned that protecting women is a non-negotiable directive, but protecting men is entirely optional.
