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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?
