Didn't they claim something about superconductivity the other week? I'm going to claim the ability to levitate my own body. Lifting myself by my own bootstraps, so to speak, and other lies.

I think you're referring to LK-99 which was from South Korea.

It's a shame the LK-99 hype has lead to LK-99 backlash because influencers couldn't make it in their backyard.

LK-99 isn't "the one" but most signs show it's on the right track and if we can work out the manufacturing technique for this class of materials it will change everything.

Ah, yes, you are correct. I was mistaken. I was thinking of the levitating video that claimed to support the claim.

All I have to say is:

  • "Whose baby is that?",
  • "What's your angle?", and
  • "I'll buy that".

Dude, that's hilarious. Funny how time changes but situations and people don't.
