    I feel like there’s this explot in human psychology:

    1. People are pretty bad at matching causes to effects.

    2. Doing something novel / outside your usual routine can feel pretty good, regardless of what it is you’re doing.

    Therefore: People who try weird diets, snake oils, or letting the sun shine on their asshole really do feel better afterwards, at least for a while. That must mean it works!
