> [@mixdenny](#): > > our once full set of flatware has been expanded and diluted by dozens of mismatched pieces for me to test. By golly - over half of them are magnetic. Bit of trivia: I’ve been told that some/most/all restaurants prefer ferrous flatware because they lose a ton in the trash: plates come back to kitchen, utensil is hidden under napkin etc., plate gets dumped. Many commercial kitchen trashcans thus have big permanent magnets around the rim to catch some of this stuff. Their flatware also tends to wind up somewhat magnetized, though whether this is due to being sucked at by magnets or just from being banged against each other I dunno. I learned this at a restaurant when I noticed that the flatware was magnetized: the server saw me playing with it and explained. ---

> [@phs3](#): > > … > I learned this at a restaurant when I noticed that the flatware was magnetized: the server saw me playing with it and explained. If my flatware were magnetized, I would know this at home because I often have loose hardware from projects cluttering the table near my place setting. The forks and spoons would soon pick up screws and nuts and such. Then it occurred to me that, if you were magnetic, it would help people tell that you had a screw loose. ---

> [@AK84](#): > > The proper answer to this is not “that’s ridiculous” but “vaccines give me superpowers? When can I book my shot”? See? SEE!!! This is why I’m so upset. All my shots did was stop me from getting a bad disease and possibly dying. Where’s the value in that compared to telepathy or at least a magnetic finger so I stop dropping needles? ---

It’s not a bug it’s a feature. Dr’s can tell if you’ve had your vaccines in this way. “Stick a fork to her? She’s done”, they say. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > As John Oliver said (in response to this) “people are sometimes sticky. We’re all kind of moist and gross, and keys stick to us sometimes. That’s it” I live in Arizona. By about 10am I can get any number of lightweight objects to stick to many parts of my body – ferrous, non-ferrous, even non-metallic, it doesn’t matter. Seriously, though. Haven’t these folks played with enough magnets to notice in order to get your brass key to stick, it has to be applied, like a piece of tape, and does not get attracted, like a real magnet does? ---

There’s a video floating around Taiwan from some right wing news program with a “Dr. Jane Ruby” pushing this garbage that they are magnetizing the body to force the mRNA into every cell or something. It’s hard to watch a video on your cellphone when your eyes have rolled back into your skull. “Don’t get vaccinated, if you already have once dose don’t get the second and if you have both don’t get a booster.” How do people buy this? ---

Hey, I gots the lowdown on Covid vaccination magnetizing the sheeple! These chiropractors say that it’s the graphene nanoparticles in current vaccines forming, like, really really tiny magnets in your brain! _"Some Doctors say it’s mass murder, while others say it is the technology that can and will control people’s brains and behavior_ _Only time will tell…"_ > **[The Truth about the Corona Virus](https://www.lifeforcefamilychiropractic.org/page/coronavirus.html)** > > June 12 Boost your IMMUNE system and drop your INFLAMMATION! Given the buzz recently in the N.Y. Times and elsewhere about chiropractors in the U.S. and Canada preaching against Covid-19 vaccines, I thought I’d revisit the American Chiropractic Association’s stand on vaccination, which has been…less than supportive in the past. True to form, their new (2021) position statement is a masterpiece of waffling and pandering: "_The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recognizes that ACA members practice within their established jurisdictional scopes in providing patient-centered, evidence-informed care. ACA members collaborate with and refer patients to healthcare providers whose scope of practice includes vaccination, an established public health practice. ACA supports further research, development, and improvement of vaccination strategies. ACA members promote behaviors that contribute to the control of infectious diseases and the advancement of practices that enhance individual health and well-being."_ You see, vaccination is an “established” public health practice. But we can’t bring ourselves to say that it is a _highly effective_ practice which is vital to help bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control, or that chiros should stick to the scope of their own operations i.e cracking backs, and stop interfering with public health measures that are safe and effective. According to the ACA we must seek “improvement of vaccination strategies”, as if real physicians and scientists aren’t continually working to do that. As to the “behaviors” that chiros employ with regard to infectious diseases, the most important is to stop denigrating effective means of preventing those diseases, which a substantial percentage of chiros are guilty of. The ACA however is far too worried about offending their yahoo members to risk offending them by being supportive of vaccination during this health crisis. ---

But I still beeped! > > I had become magnetic. > > The next morning, as I was eating my oatmeal, my spoon stuck to the roof of my mouth. I might have choked, but fortunately the spoon was jarred loose when the magnetic force slammed me against the refrigerator, where I remained suspended until family members were able to pull me down. > > Things really got weird after my second dose. . . . ---

> [@TokyoBayer](#): > > How do people buy this? Because they want to believe that the vaccine is fake. Maybe they are trying to deal with the cognitive dissonance they feel from not believing in COVID-19 or in supporting Trump when he said such. They got on the anti-mask train, and can’t get off. Maybe they’re just scared of all of it, and want to have an excuse not to get vaccinated. Maybe it’s just that they’ve been pushed so hard to believe anything in the “lame stream media” is fake and just always seek out “the real story.” Maybe they’re known marks who have been targeted by those who wish Americans ill. Maybe it’s because admitting it would mean admitting that the Democrats did something right. Or maybe they just have the conspiratorial instinct where they want to be “special” for figuring out what’s wrong. Heck, it could be more than one. I can’t know for sure, but I am pretty certain that the reason people fall for this obvious BS is that they want it to be true. Same as the guy who wanted it to be true that he was magnetic enough to hold cast iron skillets on his body. (He clearly really believed, or he wouldn’t have taken Randi’s challenge.) ---
