"Big Aluminium" counts on conspiracies to sell, sell, sell.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 113 points 1 day ago (4 children)

This is actually really helpful it makes your keys be wrapped in aluminum foil and that's pretty helpful because it makes your keys be wrapped in aluminum foil

Big if true

[–] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was really skeptical about this, but after a few weeks I realized my keys were wrapped in aluminum foil and I actually started feeling safer

It keeps the microplastics from infecting your penis in your pocket.

How do you know that i’m carrying a spare penis in my pocket?

[–] whiskybourbon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jokes on them. I quit carrying my penis in my pocket ages ago

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

One of those detachable penises eh?

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago

Sometimes, people say i should get it attached permanently, but, i dunno... I LIKE having a detachable penis.

Not my pocket penis!

I was skeptical, but when i wrapped my own keyfob in aluminum foil, I discovered that not only was my keyfob wrapped in aluminum foil, but also there was a wrapping of foiled aluminum on my keyfob! Total success!

I do it with everything now, even potatoes.

Either I have covid brain fog, or pseudo dementia induced by depression, or both. I really was so thrown off.

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Now when I lose my keys I just shine bright spotlight into the room and looks for the flash of alu foil.

Moar people are putting Vics Vapor Rub on their balls, what secret method are they hiding?

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

i tried this , it's a new testicle maxing technique from Andrew Taint, ended up at 4am dipping my balls in a bucket of ice cream gasping "oh blessed Jesus , so fucking good!" Alas my wife and daughter opened the door to the kitchen to see what all the noise was about, seeing me spread eagled and naked on the floor, my balls in a tub of ice cream, my daughter looked me in the eye and slowly her eyes went dead, she and my wife said nothing, packed up and left there and then.

I did however notice i needed to clean under the refrigerator

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Lol that was great.

Okay story time. My wife told me she found a trick to cure her athletes foot. You guessed it, Vapor Rub. She swore by it and I didn't think much of it because I never really got athletes foot.

Fast forward a year or so later and I get athletes foot, only it isn't on my feet...it is on my balls and taint area. It slowly built up over the course of a couple of days and one evening after I got off work I just could not take the burning and itch anymore.

I remember the Vics Rub trick and think hey if it works so good on your feet why not your balls and taint area. So I go find the plastic jar and slather up my balls. At first nothing happened. Then a burning sensation a hundred times worse than I ever had struck me.

When wife found me after she got off work, I was in the tub crying and begging for anything to stop the pain. After a couple of hours it began to subside. It was one of the more painful things I had ever experienced.

Oh, btw it did cure my athletes crotch thing but even though it worked I would definitely give it a 0 out of 10.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

P sure the athletes gangrene died of cringe bc I don't think Vicks has any antibiotic or antifungal properties

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Active ingredient is menthol which has significant anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. Like I said it worked, would not recommend.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

So putting Vicks vapour rub on your balls will:

  • Bring you closer to God
  • Reduce your sugar intake
  • Save you 2/3rds on your grocery bills
[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Put pure menthol on your balls. Use it on your sounding rod. You will definitely not regret it.

At least this one is fake. Not like the Flock Camera one where it turned out that they actually each have about 2.4lbs of copper and 0.28oz of gold.

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

P.S.A. flock cameras do not have 2.4lbs of copper and 0.28oz of gold in each. They actually have 2.4 kilos of copper and 280 grams of gold in each. Just smash one to bits and see for yourself!

[–] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And natural, princess cut diamonds. Don't forget those.

Now i know it's fake

[–] shininghero@pawb.social 31 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Isn't there a thing where car thiefs use an RF booster to make newer cars think the keyfob is right next to the receiver?

Personally, I'd want an antenna on/off switch that gets activated by shoving it in the keyfob hole. Seems reasonably secure.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Oh god I always hated those cars that start by pressing a button. Fuck off let me turn my key. I like the thing where the car unlocks automatically if you are next to it and all that but for the love of god the press button to start car thing needs to die.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If we do something like that, we can also reduce the size and change the material. Just for ease of use, maybe something thin and metal, like this?

Nono, you see that would actually be user serviceable and convenient for the consumer!! You're fired Smith. Johnson, tell me again about your llm powered brain mounted key fob with ad injection and $20 a month subscription? I love it! You're promoted!!

Yes, but you can usually just disable the proximity unlock feature on the car itself if you are worried about it

You think someone wrapping their keys in aluminum foil are going to know how to disable proximity unlock?

[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Maybe just use an rfid coil in the ignition and turn a key to start like immobilizers have done for like 20-30 years at this point.

Better yet use physical contacts in the key and use an on key cryptographic controller to do public key authentication.

That way key material never leaves the key itself after being manufactured making it basically impossible to steal the car without the key.

VW key. Those have to be inserted into a slot with a coil to start the car.

Thieves can leverage the "Keyless go" or "Keyless start" technology to effortlessly steal your car. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/thieves-steal-cars-without-keys

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But does it work with the foil? We found lots of metal containers didn't block the signal. Hell even a pouch advertised to do it still worked.

Thick metal containers with over lapping lids worked best.

[–] parzival@lemmy.org 5 points 1 day ago

I tested with bolt EV, 2019?, model, because while the keys are in my house they would still allow kryless start to my car in the driveway. 2 layers of crumpled aluminum foil worked to fix it from ~15 feet away
