It’s better than scientifically proven! They made cute videos out of it! Isn’t that obviously more trustworthy?

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

you know what else was scientifically proven to work?

sunscreen and yet corporations still managed to find a ways to fuck consumers on that

I’m not saying you shouldn’t listen to actual experts, but lets not pretend even that is for sure safe

and now how do you even check if something has side effects, AI slop will probably tell you to heat kitty in the microwave to remove fleas

What’s wrong with sunscreen?

[–] wintermute@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's nothing wrong with sunscreen in general, but they are probably referring to what happened recently in Australia:

Independent analysis by a trusted consumer advocacy group has found that several of Australia's most popular, and expensive, sunscreens are not providing the protection they claim to, kicking off a national scandal.

And the lab issuing the fake results is based in the US :(

...a single US-based laboratory had certified at least half of the products that had failed Choice's testing, and that this facility routinely recorded high test results. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-04/questions-over-lab-that-tested-sunscreen-spf-claims/105458458

The metal oxide kind was fine but had some non effectiveness issues about damaging marine coral. The other kinds are less reliable.

marine coral matters less than my skin

Obviously with the caveat that it doesn't matter if you're not going in the ocean.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you realize that’s how it works right?

[–] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lots of people use sunscreen every time they're in the sun for a while. Not just the beach. And not all beaches are the ocean.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago

ah yes water is notorious for staying in place

when that happens we can fill them with oil
