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

They use if for that purpose to detect issues in the intestinal lining

Add some wax to the capsule until it gets to the right spot before turning on…

I’m betting it’s causing nausea.

That’s one of the ways ozempic works. For some people, they’re just nauseous all the time so they end up eating less

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.
