So this morning mrAru made homeopathic coffee … he forgot to put the grounds in teh basket. HE says he made a pot of hot water, but I pointed out technically since there was still coffee residue in the basket from previous batches, it was homeopathic coffee =)

According to the principles of homeopathy (i.e. the more diluted something is, the more powerful its effects), one is at dire risk of mental hyperactivity and sleeplessness from drinking hot water that has a “memory” of coffee.

The antidote is, of course, [homeopathic coffee](https://www.healthline.com/health/coffea-cruda).

Homeopathic hydroxychloroquine is the perfect treatment for COVID. The molecules stay 6 feet apart.

I drank some tap water today. There were a couple of molecules from both sleeping pills and coffee in the reservoir from which it came.

Consequently I’m currently frantically hyperactive while deeply sleep.

To really be homeopathic coffee you’d have to dump the pot back into the water reservoir and run it through five or six more times.  
But I like the concept. You should start a business.

That time I was in a traffic accident and they took me to a homeopathic ER. Set up a Hot Wheels track and slammed little cars onto me.

As Tim Minchin has commented, “Whilst the memory of a long-lost drop of onion juice seems infinite, it somehow forgets about all the poo it’s had in it.”
