IV Drips Are The New Oxygen Bars

Over in Japan, people do crazy shit. I’d use different terminology for sure if we were talking about, say, Las Vegas. But Japan is always changing the game with new technology and wacky ideology. The latest craze to hit the land of the rising sun is Drop-in IV Drip Therapy, a service offered through TenTeki10, a company I don’t have a clue about because I don’t read or speak Japanese.

TenTeki10 claims that through 10 minute drip sessions involving supplements, home remedies and energy injections (methamphetamine?), customers can relax and release the stress they experience in having to work and deal with the City of Tokyo day in and day out. Seems a little grandiose to me. Costs about $20 and is way cooler than an oxygen bar at the Excalibur in Vegas.

MindMentor: The Robot Psychologist

Filed under: Internet, Science

A lot of people are very skeptical about seeing a psychologist to discuss their problems. A huge part of the skepticism is probably due to the fact that other psychologists are other humans. Who really feels comfortable talking about their juiciest problems with a fellow human?

Developed by two Dutch psychologists specializing in Neuro Linguistic Programming, the MindMentor is programmed to ask questions in order to reach the unconscious mental resources of the client, allowing clients to come to their own sane solutions for mental issues. MindMentor is not made for extreme psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia, but is designed to help deal with stress, depression, and all of the side-effects. — Andrew Dobrow
