If you wanna be a bit more positive about it, I think this could be labeled benign superstition. The male equivalent of healing crystals. In the age of the internet, what used to be believing in evil spirits or demons has been replaced with this kind of crackpot science for a lot of people.

This is admittedly a rather generous interpretation but this isn't much sillier to me than hanging a dreamcatcher above your kid's bed. It doesn't actually protect them from anything but it shows the dad cares, kinda.

it's not benign at all, and neither is crystal bullshit. this crap gets people killed, usually the children of the fools.

I would bet any amount of money that they also did not get their child vaccinated

There has to be at least one instance of someone getting fucking obliterated by a steering column airbag healing crystal claymore after rear ending someone and we just don’t hear about it amidst the 2,000 people that die every week in the US from vehicle collisions (that’s one 9/11 per week every week, and getting worse over time, for any patriots in the room)

Yeah I don't have a problem with this. I'm also kinda open to hearing people out on some of these fringe issues, the datacenter complaints about adverse health caused by audio have been real. Unseen forces having health effects seem like valid fears.
