I'm very upset the randomized control didn't involve fake shells.
Participants received either intervention of shankh blowing or a sham procedure (deep breathing exercise) for 6 months.
man, I can only do deep breathing for a few minutes before I start getting light headed. I cant imagine doing it for 6 straight months!
Efficacy of blowing shankh on moderate sleep apnea: a randomised control trial https://doi.org/10.1183/23120541.00258-2025 or https://publications.ersnet.org/content/erjor/early/2025/06/05/23120541.00258-2025.full.pdf

BELIEVABLE (≖_≖ )
Who would benefit here, big Conch?
That’s my suspicion. Seems rather convenient they suddenly cure human apnea when we’ve been refusing their request to issue everyone a personal conch for years. Clearly they’re trying to find a way to whisper something to the world, we can only speculate on what.
I don't know what's wrong with y'all, I've had my conch since childhood.
And what does it whisper to you?
It makes nary a sound without my input, so far as I can tell.
Then unfortunately it’s already gotten to you ˙◠˙
You may have gotten your conch recently. I was born with, and shaped by The Conch!
Honestly, there's a lot of increasing religious things going on around the world, and some people claiming their religion did things better than science and we should go back to that. So there are definitely people that'll benefit from these things if this is funded by them.
A conch wrote this.
That will definitely go over well with my neighbors
Didgeridoo works as well, not sure which would be better
Your neighbors would probably prefer that you didgeridon't.
Fine, I didgeriwon't then.
I prefer the didgeridoo.
Okay, but what do I get out of it?
If you do it right, I think it summons a Kaiju.
Apnoea? Apnoeautiful
Sounds like somebody is tooting their own horn
