    Ist da überhaupt was dran? Hört sich nach Quacksalberei an.

    Grad mal geschaut und die Antwort ist Jein wobei ich das eher als Nein einordnen würde.

    Ein Ausschnitt:

    If a drink is warmer than the body, at first, “Obviously, that drink makes you hotter,” McNaughton said. But humans, like all warm-blooded animals, are constantly adjusting to maintain a consistent internal temperature. McNaughton found that hot drinks (and spicy chilis) activate a receptor in our nerves called TRPV1, which tells the body it needs to cool down. In response, humans sweat.

    Sweat pooling on skin is uncomfortable, but add a breeze or a fan, and the air blowing past helps sweat evaporate, taking heat with it.

    Also nein kühlt definitiv nicht sondern bringt dich nur zum schwitzen. Ob das dann Netto zu einer Kühlung des Körpers führt ist Situations abhängig (Luftfeuchtigkeit, Kleidung, Wind). Wenn man tatsächlich Gefahr läuft zu überhitzen, dann lieber kalte Getränke und Körper befeuchten.

    In the reverse effect, cold drinks lower body temperature and then nudge the brain to reduce sweating in order to bring body temperature back to its baseline. A 2018 paper suggests that with less wind, more humidity, or other barriers to effective sweating — like the heavy clothing worn by firefighters — it may make more sense to cool off by drinking crushed ice. “Cold water will definitely make your body colder,” McNaughton said. “It will tend to suppress sweating as well. If you’re already dripping with sweat, that may be rather nice!”




  • Apple have a reasonable track record of pushing back against governments

    Only when it comes to individual consumer cases like terrorists or other crimes. When it comes to large scale political movements then they are very quick to lend authoritarian governments a hand, see for example their cooperation with the CCP to suppress the Hong Kong protests. But they have also always cooperated with police to some degree and this has only gotten worse.

    Forbes for the lack of a better source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/10/09/apple-sells-privacy-to-consumers-but-its-quietly-helping-police-use-iphones-for-surveillance/

    There’s a widespread perception that Apple has a combative relationship with law enforcement after the company refused to help the FBI hack into the iPhone of the shooter in the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attacks. But since then, it has ramped up collaboration with police through the conference and other meetings with agencies at both Cupertino HQ and its Elk Grove campus, as well as a variety of previously unreported projects helping cops use iPhones, Macs, Apple Vision Pro and CarPlay, the emails show. Most of these projects have not been announced publicly.

    Apple declined to comment.

    People just love believing in Apple for some weird reasons.


  • Accelerationism is a range of ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems

    Yeah this is first sentence of the wikipedia article about it. I mean its also kinda in the name “accelerate” implies there is something that already exists that people want to accelerate. So a preventable zombie apocalypse doesnt fit no matter which way it is framed.
