I just saw a Facebook page titled “How to defeat the chemtrails on a hot sunny day”, in which this woman was upset at all the “chemtrails” so she soaked a tea towel in cheap vinegar and hung it on a line, and a couple hours later the “chemtrails” had disappeared. She claimed the vinegar neutralizes or alkalizes them, but if they come back you might have to hang a new vinegar tea towel up. I guess tinfoil hats just aren’t enough any more.
So, what creative stupidity have y’all encountered out there?
Republican National Convention
Nothing creative there.
That might have even been something mocking conspiracies, though with Poe’s Law who the fuck knows.
It was from a site called “chemtrails UK”. I took a look and they are seriously fucking stupid.
Wow, no one told her that the 5G blocks the effect of the vinegar on the chemtrails? She need to get some orgonite to block it!
I used to have a conspiracy theorist customer at my previous office I supported. She seriously asked me, as her IT guy, how to set up proper shielding so that her neighbor’s WiFi signals couldn’t penetrate her house and start harming her and her husband.
I really couldn’t help her. I pretty much said that WiFi is no different than any other electromagnetic signal and if you wanted to avoid them, you pretty much needed to live in a deep cave underground like a mole person. She was convinced that there was something special about WiFi though, but I said that there was no effective way to protect her from a nonexistent harm.
She really did not like my answer, but I insisted to her that I was a professional and I could only give her advice based on what actual experts and scientists said.
Also, I will never forget one iPhone that was turned in from an employee who left the agency had some sticker on it that was supposed to block harmful signals.
Ooh, I just looked it up and I am absolutely sure this is the exact sticker I found:
And we all work for the damn state government.
ETA: I do however appreciate this 5 star review for that product:
I can’t recommend this product enough. I was having an issue with my phone where it would start playing this repetitive tone, and the screen would light up. When I picked up my phone and held it up to my ear, I could hear voices, which I found frightening and disorienting. Once I put this sticker on my phone though, the problem stopped. Now my phone doesn’t do anything at all. It just sits there quietly and doesn’t make noise or light up. I truly believe this sticker saved my life.
Well, vinegar (which is a dilute solution of acetic acid) is acidic, so there’s no way it could “alkalize” the chemtrails. So there!
Yeah, true…but that is like putting 3 ounces of reality in a 50 gallon drum of bugfuck crazy.
I can’t stop envisioning two people side by side wearing shirts; one whose shirt says this thread’s key phrase, the other whose shirt says “I’m stupid”.
It’s stupid of me, I know.
Chemtrailers are indeed crazy, and potentially dangerous (some have worked themselves up into such a state about being “poisoned” by clouds that they threaten pilots with retribution).
Also getting a big boost from social media are “urine therapy” fanatics. These people, who have their own Facebook groups believe not only in slathering urine on wounds and burns, but regularly drink their own pee (aged urine is purportedly even better for you). Some post about ways to sneak urine into the drinks of family members.
For those repelled by the thought (and taste) of urine drinking but who want to sample its health benefits, this site has a handy cocktail guide to increase palatability. Urine for a treat!
Bladder Infection
6 oz warm, flat American lager(Coors, Bud Lite,etc).
3 oz room temp urine, hopefully your own.
1 Tbs yogurt
Mix well.
Tip: if you use live culture yogurt, you can develop extra flavor by letting it stand at room temperature to your liking.
I’m not an electrical engineer, but couldn’t she construct a Faraday cage around her house?
Now there’s a business opportunity for a cynical handyman!
There’s an emerging industry catering to 5G paranoia by marketing Faraday cages.
Amazon sells a “Mission Darkness Dry Shield Rapture Faraday Bag” for only $980, but I’m not sure it’s big enough to hold a person.
A 200 lb man is just under 90 liters in volume. The one you referenced holds 1060L. You could get an entire baseball team plus a relief pitcher and the manager in the thing.
Sorry, didn’t mean to suggest that you didn’t get a great buy.
Actually, I didn’t buy it but it’s on my wish list.
“I am married to Marjorie Taylor Greene”.
That explains a lot
