More about Gianmarco:
Gianmarco Soresi is a stand-up comedian, actor, and a little too much for some people. He’s told jokes on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Netflix’s Bonding, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York for some reason, and he was a JFL New Face in 2022. He’s acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Hustlers, The Last OG, and in his theater days shared the stage with some people who’ve gone on to become huge real estate agents. You can see him post the kind of crowdwork clips that are arguably destroying the artform of stand-up comedy everywhere @gianmarcosoresi and he obviously has a podcast called The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.🎤

"You sack of shit!" will be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future.

[iamtwoawesomes]

ah i wish i could poke at weak arguments this well
people can say lies i know are lies to my face and all i can do is say "no" and do the verbal equivalent of slipping onto my ass in slow motion

[seajelly]

I'm with Gianmarco on this in a general sense. BUT red light therapy DOES look interesting on the science side of things.
And collagen is a group of protein molecules that make up a large part of connective tissue (stuff that holds together skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, the liver, parts of the immune system, parts of the eye, cells that grow nails and hair... It's very important stuff)

[cctz_]

Admittedly she DOES have nice skin, though i dont think all the biohacking bs is the cause, just basic everyday skincare most likely

[impossiblemissionce]

I appreciate she's cool with admitting that she doesn't know something.

[andysplants]

Emma's skin looks amazing tbh! Whatever that red light is doing, it appears to be working!

[dankmemester]

I never knew what biohacking was exactly until now. Like I know about the treatments, but I always thought biohacking was about bioengineering or something.

It kinda just sounds like vitamins tbh.

[kat...........ffs]

NO ONE EVER GOES A LEVEL DEEPER! Thak you.
People need to learn how to critically think!!

[Skallanni]

I think the collagen obsession is funny because I have EDS which is partly characterized by an excessive amount of collagen production, leading to excessively loose joints amongst other issues. One characteristic of EDS, though, is very soft and young looking skin that is also very translucent. So, people with EDS often end up having what society considers very beautiful skin because of the very condition causing them so much grief. I myself am constantly told how pretty my pale translucent velvet skin is, while simultaneously being covered in bruises, wounds, and scars with joints that barely work lmao.

[Ekami-chan]

Dunno about anything else, very pseudo, but getting blood pumping and helping circulation is why people swim in holes in the ice :D

[transhumanisttv]

as a scientist, there is no funner party game with scientists to play this go level deeper game with scientists. ironically the best of us often say i don’t know sooner than others.

[ChimeraWithin]

See this is why I have no respect for the hucksters who scam people by putting them in a cold room or something equally dumb.

[hutchio]

I used to think psychosomatic or placebo stuff was all rubbish, but if a placebo is causing a genuine result, it doesn't matter if it's a placebo. Psychology can make physical changes. If doing or taking something, placebo or not, tricks your brain into giving a positive/effective response, that's more than doing or taking nothing did. Not to say that everyone or thing can be treated with placebo or that everyone will even respond to the placebo affect, but those that do and are actively benefiting from the placebo affect, no reason to stop as long as they can afford it. Psychotherapy actually fits some definitions of the placebo affect - and definitely fits the definition of psychosomatic - doesn't mean it doesn't work.

[canchegundam]

I watched this like 20 times. That "ahhh" is classic.

[k.mccarren]

So I researched both of them very surface-level:

Red light therapy has been proven to increase the expression of genes relating to collagen production and elastin production. I don’t see any actual health benefits, but the argument here is that this visibly affects a person’s appearance, and in a way society considers positive.

The idea that cryotherapy is beneficial because of heart rate increase is likely based on the fact that raising your heart rate purposefully will train your body to function with a lower heart rate over time. But I am having trouble finding evidence that isn’t directly connected to raising the heart rate through exercise; and this video is discussing raising the heart rate through stimulus (cold). The stimulus still causes a rush of endorphins, which can feel great.

TLDR nothing matters, who knows, Let people do whatever as long as it doesn’t hurt other people and they acknowledge they don’t know, like Emma did.

Like hate anti-vaxxers, not people who use crystals 😂

[montecristo]

Things like this happen to people throughout history. They unconsciously eat right, practice good hygiene, get enough sleep, exercise, avoid stress, but consciously they make sure to shine a light on themselves for twenty minutes and THAT is the reason they say they look and feel good. It’s the red light!

[simonecruice-barnett]

When my two favorite YouTube shorts comedians come together🫂

[malta]

"why" is the most powerful word in English

[rid]

Red light therapy is actually proven to help with collagen production! Unfortunately it has to be at a very specific wavelength so the majority (especially at home options) of red light don’t work.
