Research carried out on pigs showed they ate almost 40% less food after ingesting the capsule
Dieters everywhere know that, no matter how inventive a chef you may be, nothing leaves you buzzing like sugary or fatty food.
Now science might have the answer: a vibrating pill, swallowed before eating, that creates feelings of fullness.
The research, which has yet to be carried out in humans, shows that after 30 minutes of activity by the Vibes pill, pigs ate on average almost 40% less food in the following half hour than they did without the device, and gained weight more slowly.
The vibrations, which are powered by a battery encased in the swallowed capsule, can be triggered when stomach acid dissolves a membrane around the pill, or by a timer.
Seems totally safe, certainly nothing can go wrong here.
They’ve been doing it with cameras for some time now. Although I have not researched for any instance of injury.
You mean a fully independent, swallowable camera?
Yeah, saw it on TLC in the late 90’s early 2000 on life in the ER. Super low res but also had a light
I wanna put it in my butt
Thank you, and here’s more reading with some history of it

Fascinating stuff, especially that it’s been around for so long. This new proposal seems less problematic now.
Looks like the main risk is not being able to pass it through and needing surgical removal, with one being retained for 4-5 years.
if I swallowed a vibrator I will probably eat 40% less and not because of feelings of fullness
depends which end swallows it, really
Add some wax to the capsule until it gets to the right spot before turning on…
Or how far along the digestive tract it is

I’m betting it’s causing nausea.
As if throwing away batteries from single-use vapes wasn’t bad enough, now we’ll be literally shitting away single-use batteries directly into our sewage systems.
So, eating slow carbs plus high quality protein is not good enough anymore?
Imagine just having the will power to eat less!
Counting calories is hard enough that folks are going to probably decide to swallow a vibrating pill…
Neat.
