As a non-chemistry person, I assume the red diamonds are to ensure I don’t put this in my mouth?
If you can't make it yourself, store bought is fine

The first is a standard warning symbol, telling you to read the warnings.
The middle looks to imply that it’s harmful to aquatic life; so no flushing, (upside-down fish and a piece of coral)
Third one seems to be dosage frequency, but saying a symbol isn’t available. (QHS = taken every night)

Coral? I always assumed that was a tree and it means “hazardous to the environment”
fatalicus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
At least make sure the thing you post is correct for something like this, as it can be important.
The first one (exclamation mark) means it is a irritant and the second one means it is hazardous to the environment (not just aquatic)
Ephera@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
I think, that’s not a coral, but rather a tree next to a stream…

Who’s Steve Jobs?

Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American businessman, inventor, and investor best known for co-founding the technology company Apple Inc. Jobs was also the founder of NeXT and chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar. He was a pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with his early business partner and fellow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Jobs was born in San Francisco in 1955 and adopted shortly afterwards. He attended Reed College in 1972 before withdrawing that same year. In 1974, he traveled through India, seeking enlightenment before later studying Zen Buddhism. He and Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976 to further develop and sell Wozniak’s Apple I personal computer. Together, the duo gained fame and wealth a year later with production and sale of the Apple II, one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputers.
Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Alto in 1979, which was mouse-driven and had a graphical user interface (GUI). This led to the development of the largely unsuccessful Apple Lisa in 1983, followed by the breakthrough Macintosh in 1984, the first mass-produced computer with a GUI. The Macintosh launched the desktop publishing industry in 1985 (for example, the Aldus Pagemaker) with the addition of the Apple LaserWriter, the first laser printer to feature vector graphics and PostScript.

Why don’t they just prescribe this instead of stuff that doesn’t help and also breaks your penis? 😬

From Wikipedia on dopamine:
The brain includes several distinct dopamine pathways, one of which plays a major role in the motivational component of reward-motivated behavior.
So it is a neurotransmitter but has many different functions as such. But also:
Outside the central nervous system, dopamine functions primarily as a local paracrine messenger. In blood vessels, it inhibits norepinephrine release and acts as a vasodilator; in the kidneys, it increases sodium excretion and urine output; in the pancreas, it reduces insulin production; in the digestive system, it reduces gastrointestinal motility and protects intestinal mucosa; and in the immune system, it reduces the activity of lymphocytes. With the exception of the blood vessels, dopamine in each of these peripheral systems is synthesized locally and exerts its effects near the cells that release it.
So dopamine is important for all kinds of cells to function correctly. So just chugging a bunch of dopamine would do all kinds of stuff to your body…

I might be misremembering, but AFAIK, dopamine can’t cross the blood-brain-barrier, so even where you want to regulate dopamine (and not, e.g. serotonin like more commonly for depression) in the brain, you have to do so via different medication (e.g. amphetamine derivatives for ADHD or dopamine agonists for Parkinson’s).

Just inject it directly into the brain smh
FrenziedFelidFanatic@pawb.social 10 months ago
Dopamine does a lot of things. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier.
So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits

Just inject it straight into your brain

Maybe they can offer a two for one deal with lobotomy?
They remove the “problematic” part and install a new, dopamine rich part.

So it’s basically the same as Prozac? 😩

I have no idea what that middle warning symbol is trying to convey. Raises undead fish from their graves? Makes you throw fish at your neighbor’s driveway?

Deadly/dangerous to the environment. It’s supposed to be dead tree and fish next to a river/water body
