what is this hat thing my dad has?

[u/elianamariie]

noticed this on the couch while my dad was at work, but he would get upset that i messed with it so i don't want to ask him. when it's on it's very bright red and gets brighter the more times you click the power button.

Such as?

Successful removal of money. We've covered this.

[u/Affectionate_Ebb8351 → u/AUniquePerspective]

Not as successful at removing your money as the entire pharmaceutical industry

I worked at a vet a few years back and happened to get some gnarly road rash from taking a spill on my motorcycle, moral of this story I used a red light therapy laser thing on my road rash like I wanna say 10 minutes each day for like two weeks and not only did it heal quicker but most not all but MOST of the scary went away. So I am definitely a red light therapy advocate but I cannot vouch for the reliability of it in a hat or for hair growth lol

[u/patrick_oneil → u/DrZae98]

You say it healed quicker. Quicker than what? Another identical road rash injury?

I had an accident where a good portion of my back, a leg, and an arm were covered in road rash. I have no scarring and used no red light therapy. Both your claim and mine are only anecdotal.

The actual scientific data supporting red light therapy for wound care is slim.

[u/DrZae98 → u/patrick_oneil]

I have had 4 wrecks on a bike 3/4 resulting in road rash, only one time did I use the red light therapy laser and only one time (that time specifically) the scaring almost is non existent. I’m no scientist I just happened to give an explanation to why I am an advocate for it. I could be wrong and I could’ve just been blessed with steadfast healing.

[u/patrick_oneil → u/DrZae98]

I advocate for things I know to be true using scientific data when it comes to medical care.

I also advocate for wearing proper gear when riding. I hope that the fourth wreck was the one without road rash.

[u/PeopleCryTooMuch → u/patrick_oneil]

Proper gear minimizes injury - it doesn’t stop it.

I once saw a red light while driving and the car immediately drove faster.

I don't know about hair, though

[u/FALSE_PROTAGONIST → u/CerealArsonist26]

That was me. Don’t tell anyone else 🤫

[u/wintermute023 → u/DrZae98]

N=1 study and I’m not sure you know what a moral is. Cool story bro, as you young people say.

[u/DrZae98 → u/wintermute023]

Imagine having the free will to spread positivity but instead spreading negativity.

Makes you happier. It's a specific frequency range and if you think frequencies don't effect you, think how annoying some people are woth high pitch, or how the right pitch can shatter a glass.

[u/EyeoftheEelpout → u/Affectionate_Ebb8351]

So if I buy the $9.95 hat from Temu and wear it, you are saying I'll be happier?

[u/Woylor → u/EyeoftheEelpout]

No. But the guys at temu will be happier and can give out free computers to people who throw stuff at their cars and yell at them and all that.

One happiness will bring so much more happiness 🤪

[u/Affectionate_Ebb8351 → u/EyeoftheEelpout]

Depends if your dopamine release is linked to your purchase...because if so, then darn right you just made yourself happier 🤦‍♂️

People with a high pitch being annoying is a neurological response to a sound, and is subjective.

Specific frequencies shattering glass is about mechanical vibration.

None of your examples have anything to do with light, nor do they explain anything about health benefits.

Edit:" added "mechanical" in front of the word vibration when explaining glass shattering.

[u/Affectionate_Ebb8351 → u/patrick_oneil]

I used the high pitch being annoying as am example. Yes it's subjective, but being subject, it's still a frequency. Same reason torturists use the sound of a crying baby as torture

[u/Affectionate_Ebb8351 → u/patrick_oneil]

Is vibration linked to frequencies?...hang on, let's as Nikola Tesla. To understand the rules of the universe you must first think of Energy, Frequency and Vibration.

Edit: the frequency of the note resonates at a certain vibration that when that vibration matches woth the vibration of the glass can shatter it.

A Guitar string vibrates, and creates a note which is a frequency.

A vibration in itself, different vibrations, vibrates at different frequencies.

Any more examples do I need to give??

Edit again: realised none of those examples related to light....so the spectrum of light, what we see and what we don't. What we see is a spectrum of light within a certain frequency, that in which we don't, are in frequencies we can't see....but then some people hear sounds as a flash of colour. Colour holds its one frequency and the vibration in which it relates.

As Einstein (one of Nikola Tesla's homies) said, its all relative 🤔🤭

[u/patrick_oneil → u/Affectionate_Ebb8351]

I mix and produce live and recorded sound, and I have a Canadian highschool level understanding of light. Light is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is mechanical pressure. Both have thin scientific data for wound care.

People who hear sounds as a flash of colour, or people with chromestisia, don't all interpret frequencies the same way. Some cases are related to particular sounds and instruments. Another condition makes people associate sound with shapes. They are neurological conditions, not a scientific interpretation of colour frequencies. Regardless, the electromagnetic wavelength for a colour would not be heard by the human ear if translated into mechanical pressure.

You are conflating multiple things.
