Dumbest product ever

Have Nasa or Elon Musk or someone already invested in gazillions of those stickers, to shoot them up and stick them to the sun? All this radiation!

ETA: ah shucks, somehow ninja’d by Thudlow_Boink.

But if the dots suck the electromagnetic energy already before they buy it, why buy it at all?

So you can take it? So it is good after all? Whoddathunk?

The packaging blocks the dots’ energy sucking abilities.

The funny thing is that my phone case has a magnet built in.

Heck, my phone (an iPhone 12 Pro) has a built-in magnet (to use with the MagSafe charger (which sucks, by the way)) and other accessories.

If the town is Shungite, shouldn’t the mineral be Sungiteite?

The village is Shunga. I think autocorrect thought I meant that word after spending so much time Googling the word. :angry:

Therefore I nominate Autocorrect as the dumbest product (especially when it autocorrects “autocorrect”).

I like the bit of truth in advertising:

Today’s world is literally FILLED with radiation… but this device “blocks” it instantly.

The first statement is true, and it only " ‘blocks’ " the radiation.

Presumably ‘radiation blocking’ is the next project of this company (which claimed ‘perpetual energy’! :astonished:):

Funny–back in my day you put stickers on the phone to boost EM.

It would have to be this way. Otherwise, by the time you bought the product, it would have sucked up all the ambient radiation in the store and become fully saturated with all the sucked-up radiation. When you slapped it on your phone, or forehead, it couldn’t suck up any more.

It stuck one on my microwave oven. It sucked up so much radiation that my dinner comes out cold now, or even still frozen.

I stuck one on my forehead before I went to bed – I wanted to see if, by sucking all the brain radiation out of my brain, I could sleep much better. It sure helped me sleep! I slept until somebody found me and called the EMT’s to come, take the patch off of me, and give me an adrenaline shot to wake me up.

So it really works. Five stars!

“Brain fog”…doesn’t Steppenwolf have a song about that?

It’s like a desiccant for radiation. Or electromagnetic silica gel. In wooland at least.

No thread called “Dumbest Product Ever” is complete without a mention of the Juicero - the $700 “juicer” that could only make juice using DRM-enabled vacuum packs that sold for $7 per drink and could just as easily be squeezed out by hand without using the machine.

As seen on XKCD recently

Or bracelets and other stuff made out of copper. Supposed to be a powerful anti-inflammatory that cures arthritis or some such thing. I’ve recently seen copper-infused socks advertised, which are supposed to improve circulation in the legs.

Or speaking of heavy metals, taking colloidal silver is pretty dumb. Some people think it boosts the immune system, but not only is there no evidence of it doing anything good, if you take too much of it you’ll be feeling pretty blue.

In Thailand, they have vagina whitening creams that are advertised prominently on TV. Really. I know I started a thread about them years ago but cannot find it now. Here’s an article from The Guardian though.

EDIT: Found it! It’s titled “Ladies: Are Your Intimate Areas the Whitest They Can Be?” Heh, I even included that same Guardian article.

To be fair, these things do have a strong placebo effect which the dots are unlikely to match, given that we can’t actually detect EMF.

Oh no. I purchased one of those because I thought it protect from, “brain frog.”

No wonder it didn’t work.
