I don't listen to diet advice from my doctor, why would I listen to a dog?

Cheers. I couldn't find a crazy ideas equivalent so I settled here as it is a sort of shower thought.

I love a good weird niche community, thanks for sharing. Recently also joined !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz, similar vein

Hear hear. This is quite literally a shitty million dollar idea

Better a sniff dog than an over-enthusiastic proctologist.

Colonoscopy was a walk in the park compared to the gastroscopy tube. That hard metal thingy made me feel like victim of the Alien.

I much prefer this to when the pharmacists sniff at my butt at entry and then give advice on diet and nutritional supplements.

* Dog sniffs my butt then walks to one of those programmable phrase button mats * "Lose weight, fatso!"

"...who programmed that button?"

Pharmacy dogs that takes a sniff at your butt at entry and gives advice on diet and nutritional supplements.

Thanks, I needed the extra context.

Kind of reminds me penis inspection day back in school

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

But that wasn't the real penis inspector...

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 days ago

I don't think they do that to kids anymore...

Train them to point at ultra common smells, then scam the customer saying it means need to eat some ultra expensive supplement, but only today there's a buy two get one free promotion

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

Ripe for abuse like current advice based on personal genetics. There's so much malarkey already sold in the over-the-counter (non-prescription) pharmacy area of US stores, more scams would fit right in.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I guess you could think this while in a shower.

[–] OmegaMouse@pawb.social 4 points 2 days ago

Well I... I mean, it's not... I guess? Hm 🤔
