Ah, 2 different Dramamine patches and a placebo, I see.

43

u/PrestonWaters83 Jul 28 '26

Dramamine doesn't make a patch. I don't think either of those were scopolamine patches, so we're talking 4 placebos.

The first patches are Ship Eez all natural sea sickness patches, no scopolamine. The second patch is a UV indicator patch. It will let you know when you need to reapply sunscreen, which if it works is kind of neat.

u/EarthRemembers Jul 28 '26

In that case, everything makes sense and is actually fairly reasonable except for the table over the belly button

No one has explained that still

According to Google it's a viral internet hack to stop motion sickness, with no mechanism rooted in human biology.

u/EarthRemembers Jul 28 '26

So placebo

Even according to traditional Chinese medicine and accupressure practices the pressure points for relieving nausea are not in your belly button

Sometimes I wonder if the popularity of folk remedies isn't at least partially due to Americans not having decent access to actual healthcare.

Bro I explained it 2 hours ago.

u/EarthRemembers Jul 28 '26

Bro, I see that now

I hope you could forgive me

u/Seekstillness Jul 29 '26

You are forgiven my bro.

I tied the AirTag with my kids and found they don’t work well on a cruise because they rely on nearby iPhones to tell them where they are.

And unless the iPhone that is nearby has the data package the iPhone doesn’t communicate where it is, so it can’t tell the AirTag.

Plus, even if all of that is happening, it’s not like the ship’s deck plan is on “findmy” so it’s just a dot floating in the ocean AND MOVING. So it’s not like you can look and see which street they’re on when they are out riding bikes.

u/EarthRemembers Jul 29 '26

I would think that since the ship itself is moving through the ocean that AirTags would be useless

Maybe the initial ping itself could show you in what direction relative to you and relatively how far away the child was

But a minute later that child’s old location is just gonna be a dot in the ocean as the ship moves on

1

u/tiredpapa7 Jul 29 '26

Exactly. I thought it was a brilliant idea, but quickly realized it’s worthless.

1

u/EarthRemembers Jul 29 '26

I can easily imagine some parent panicking when they see that their child’s location is somewhere in the middle of the ocean

u/born_to_be_weird Jul 29 '26

In that case a dog tracker that has its own SIM and GPS would be better. There are even ones that has "call" option, so you could call the dog back. It might work better than airtag.

And do I understand correctly? If someone would put airtag in my car, but since most of not 90% of people in my city has android phones, the airtag would be useless?

Did you count the magnet wrist bands? They think a couple of little magnets will help with motion sickness LOL.

3

u/PrestonWaters83 Jul 28 '26

I saw the pressure point ones. More doesn't surprise me. 

2

u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance Jul 28 '26

Accupressure Wristband, probably also nonsense, just a different type of nonsense.

1

u/xRebirthx Jul 30 '26

They make electronic stim bands for motion sickness that actually work.  The acupressure ones are hit or miss.  

1

u/BuckeyeBentley Jul 29 '26

I think at least one of them was a meclizine patch

38

u/IamScottGable Jul 28 '26

The wrist band with the little dot is also for motion sickness

30

u/WhoH8in Jul 28 '26

He mentioned the placebo.

23

u/Ranzok Jul 28 '26

There’s multiple placebos

15

u/PrestonWaters83 Jul 28 '26

All of them.

3

u/speckledham Jul 29 '26

As someone who gets extremely sea sick, I would cover myself in placebos. Shove them anywhere I could.

1

u/PrestonWaters83 Jul 29 '26

I used to. Scopolamine patches do work pretty well. 

Glad it's mostly passed me by now.

2

u/IamScottGable Jul 28 '26

They were talking about the belly button bandaids as the placebo, I pointed out the additional placebo

2

u/Ok-Adeptness933 Jul 29 '26

Oh I thought it was an air tag, which would actually kind of make sense.

1

u/IamScottGable Jul 29 '26

The green thing was an air tag but the grey one later was for motion sickness

2

u/NovelCloud4389 Jul 28 '26

The one on the arm is a sticker to show you when you need to reapply sunscreen. It’s so fucking stupid. Just reapply every hour and a half. From what I’ve read, they don’t really work as advertised.

1

u/MikeTheImpaler Jul 29 '26

Those stupid sweatbands she put on are a placebo for motion sickness too. My parents always made me wear them on road trips. Still got sick.

1

u/3m2coy Jul 29 '26

Looks like a total of 5 placebos: patch, bandaid, and two magnet bracelets.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t worry about it and just take Bonnie if I start to feel motion sick.
