A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
To be honest... electric field you are surrounded by every day most likely affects you more than position of Saturn on the night sky... But people who claim that new tech is causing medical issues are considered crackpots.
Believing in astrology is much safer.
I don't need to believe in Wi-Fi I just need to see that my phone is connected to the internet. The existence of Wi-Fi can be inferred by me having access to YouTube.
Shout out to my broken coworker who brought his crystals in to work one day to fix our negative energy. After carefully placing each stone according to universal leylines of good vibes, extraordinarily pleased with himself, immediately saw me slice through a package and into my fingers. I needed eleven stitches.
Negative energy can never be removed, only transferred. He obviously didn't like you, the skeptic, so he transferred all the negative energy into you from your other co-workers. /s
Aw, but I supported him. Magic is stupid but I like cool rocks.
That's just how the magic stones remove the negative energy from your body, through bloodletting
It all makes sense now. The universe balanced my humors.
They aren't "powering everything". JFC go lick a wall outlet, that's what powers many things. WiFi is information, and indeed, they try to make it use less and less power.
It could power stuff. Tesla was working on it, and there have been a few small companies over the years that have done it.
Just turns out that it's not very practical compared to a wall socket.
WiFi IS real. "Auras", "Vibes" and "Crystal Energy" is magical nonsense.
The only real magic is friendship.
And magnets.
That shit interacts unlike any other object we normally encounter.
Purple sparkle and the color gang approves this message.
That's just what big WiFi wants you to think so they can sell you more WiFi
Open your eyes sheeple! And also remember to buy my $499 online course on how to make the vibrations of your aura more positive or something
Can you teach me to vibrate into alternate universes like The Flash? 'Cause I don't like this one that much.
What if you vibrate into an alternate universe, but the Earth isn't in the same place?
Absolutely! But that's not covered until the Level 2 course, which is an in-person retreat.
I do believe gorilla piss exista.
I do not believe drinking gorilla piss would grant you gorilla strength (citation needed).
well yeah, obviously! You have to dilute it 1000 times for it to have any effect.
well you eyedrop it into your butthole and then expose your butthole to the sun so the positive solar energy modifies it primally because we're all made of starlight and that's just how it works
"It's funny how people will believe in Newton's laws of motion but still think the Force from Star Wars is mythical nonsense."
You can map out the inside of a building and figure out where objects are, and when and where movement occurs, with WiFi.
You cannot do this with magic woo woo nonsense that equivocates and conflates terms across different domain specific meanings, and then attempts to build a world view out of confused, meaningless/contradictory gibberish.
Heard some conspiracy folks mention negative frequencies from 5G and the like. It's just a phase I guess..
I absolutely believe in energy, frequency, and vibration. My wifi vibrates at a frequency of 2.4 and 5 GHz and in order to do that it needs to use energy.
Like, I'm down with hippie woo energy work, it's really useful meditation. I use it to keep my anxiety under control. But your religion can't cure diseases, it can only provide comfort
Meditation is awesome and useful. But it doesn't need to be mystical and magical to be great, and I wish more people realized that.
You guys, energy, frequency and vibration are all obviously fake. Nobody has ever observed vibration in real life. Go on and try measuring one of those "frequencies", I'll wait. Where are you even supposed to find those? "A faucet dripping"? "Your literal heartbeat"? Don't make me laugh!
I'll show you some nice vibrations ;-)
NO, put down the taser!
Destructive dunking is not a constructive way to spread the word of the ~~lord~~ science
Trying to legitimize bullshit by using big words out of context and meaning
I used to love reading W.I.T.C.H. comics and they always had a bunch of fun stuff about zodiacs and reading the future in tea leaves, moons and stars and all that silly stuff. I friggin loved that shit because it was fun for the imagination and it also tied in well with the comic being about a groups magical girls who get their powers from nature and blah blah blah. I thought it was fun to find out what my element was based on what month I was born in and what my birthstone was and take little personality tests to see which one of the girls I was like the most (9 out of 10 times, I got Taranee).
The thing is, though: I always knew it was just play pretend and fun past time stuff.
I have had that fun permanently destroyed for me after people started believing in astrology and magic for real. I know people irl who refer to their zodiacs as an explanation for how they like their coffee or why they push their work to last minute or why they vibe well with this and that person. They take personality tests and believe it for real instead of using it as some stupid past time fun. Online, it's even worse. It gives me the same level of ick as the women in Sex and the City.
It absolutely fucking ruined the fun for me and I just can't read my horoscope anymore because I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those people.
