The author really believes it and has even sued over it.

I think I lost neurons reading that.

This pseudo science made the photosynthesis in my arepa produce chemtrail fuel

In layperson's terms: Standing in a certain spot while holding an iron bar will stop COVID from reproducing.

[–] andrewth09 57 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So long as that spot is 6 feet away from everyone else, they might be on to something. More research is required.

If anyone breaks your social distancing, smack 'em with the iron bar

There's some rocks I'm sure that can be used to kill covid.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I recall Fearless Leader saying that covid can definitely be defeated if we can expose our insides to UV light. That's a hot rock, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I'm talking about the rocks that radiate an energy you can't see.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Oh! Kryptonite! Good thinking!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

UV is energy you can't see...

[–] Hobbes_Dent 7 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Any rock can kill Covid if you get them hot enough.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Some rocks are naturally 'hot'.

is that spot inside an active volcano?

What is this Star Trek incantation shit

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm a little bit stoned and it took me like 2 solid minutes and several rereads to figure out what the fuck this was, and I still think it's just buzzword salad

[–] Maggoty 10 points 1 day ago

I'm not stoned and same.

They forgot to include the crucial step where you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

Oh come on that's just nonsense. Let's stick to real science here please.

All you need to do is make sure that the area has been sweeped by chronotron particles filtered through a multiphasic tachyon diffractor.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

You need a deflector dish to do that.

[–] modeler 4 points 1 day ago

That made my head spin. Sorry about the pun - guilty as charged.

[–] Dubidu1212 9 points 23 hours ago

Here the Research Gate link if you want to check out the full extent of this XD http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.30887.09128

Someone swallowed a dictionary.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

Yeah... Hmm... Oh yeah.

I know some of these words.

From Wikipedia

Serpentinization is a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ferromagnesian minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, in mafic and ultramafic rock to produce serpentinite.

Lithosphere:

A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky' and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more.

Magnetic Anomaly

In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.

Proterozoic Eon

Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.

Weakened geomagnetic field:

Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.
