Also, all the scientists "accidentally" making the same mistake as the BBC proves that intelligence doesn't necessitate maturity πŸ˜‰

What's immature about it? Penis fencing is a respectable mating ritual among flat worms.

I thought this thumbnail was two pugs at first...

I mean maturity is a social construct

everything is energy, prove me wrong

Don't be fooled by CERN, LHC's true purpose is time travel. El Psy Kongroo.

People will shit on crystals believers in one breath and tell people to 'respect other's religion' in another or gloat about their MBTI assessment. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

I don't believe in either but at least I'm consistent. If you're not, then you're just finding an excuse to hate on a hobby that primarily attracts women.

This is the same thing that happens to anything that women likes: pumpkin spice lattes, uggs, horoscopes, tarot cards, rose, etc. It's seen as trivial and stupid no matter how banal the average person's interest are regardless of gender.

I don't think standing by and letting people get scammed is the right move either

I dunno, they might not be looking in the right place. Have they tried Mystic Mary's Crystal Emporium?

[–] EndMilkInCrisps@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is the LHC experimenting on crystals?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

It's a stupid post, but the idea is clearly that these energies, if they matter at all to human health, clearly don't exist exclusively within crystals.

Don't let Big Particle fool you! Invest in Light Matter today

I and a lot of other people use crystal bracelet to help us sync up with other people. Even if we're apart for days, we can show up exactly at the same place at the same moment if our crystals are vibrating at the same frequency.

How do you explain that?

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Is that frequency something you can control or measure? Do you agree on a shared "let's meet" frequency you set it to, and if the other happens to have it set to that as well, you end up meeting? Or is it more of a random chance thing, like running into each other in places you both frequent at coincidentally matching times and deciding it must be the bracelets' doing?

Or am I falling for a joke?

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Tides come in, tides go out. Can’t explain that

The frequencies don't have to be new so much as understood.

NASA has concluded electromagnetic frequencies are actively healthy for humans, specifically promoting neural tissue regeneration, so try not to unilaterally dismiss everything crystal hippies say.

babies, bathwater, all that.

NASA's doing research right now with tvmf to develop cartilage regeneration as well.

throwing a magnet bracelet on isn't going to cure cancer, but magnetism has clinically significant effects on many basic physiological processes like the circadian rhythm and that's why it keeps being studied.
