The author really believes it and has even sued over it.

I think I lost neurons reading that.

This pseudo science made the photosynthesis in my arepa produce chemtrail fuel

[-] Dubidu1212@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Here the Research Gate link if you want to check out the full extent of this XD http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.30887.09128

Isnt China the place covid19 originated from?

Wouldnt some chinese people already tried traditional chinese medicine 4 years ago?

In layperson's terms: Standing in a certain spot while holding an iron bar will stop COVID from reproducing.

[-] andrewth09@lemmy.world 42 points 10 hours ago

So long as that spot is 6 feet away from everyone else, they might be on to something. More research is required.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 21 points 8 hours ago

If anyone breaks your social distancing, smack 'em with the iron bar

[-] sus@programming.dev 6 points 11 hours ago

is that spot inside an active volcano?

[-] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 hours ago

There's some rocks I'm sure that can be used to kill covid.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 5 points 8 hours ago

I recall Fearless Leader saying that covid can definitely be defeated if we can expose our insides to UV light. That's a hot rock, right?

[-] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

I'm talking about the rocks that radiate an energy you can't see.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

UV is energy you can't see...

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Any rock can kill Covid if you get them hot enough.

[-] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Some rocks are naturally 'hot'.

What is this Star Trek incantation shit

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 30 points 15 hours ago

I'm a little bit stoned and it took me like 2 solid minutes and several rereads to figure out what the fuck this was, and I still think it's just buzzword salad

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

I'm not stoned and same.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 61 points 17 hours ago

They forgot to include the crucial step where you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

[-] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 4 points 7 hours ago

Oh come on that's just nonsense. Let's stick to real science here please.

All you need to do is make sure that the area has been sweeped by chronotron particles filtered through a multiphasic tachyon diffractor.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 hours ago

You need a deflector dish to do that.

[-] modeler@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

That made my head spin. Sorry about the pun - guilty as charged.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 30 points 17 hours ago

Yeah... Hmm... Oh yeah.

I know some of these words.

[-] Naich@lemmings.world 33 points 17 hours ago

Someone swallowed a dictionary.

From Wikipedia

Serpentinization is a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ferromagnesian minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, in mafic and ultramafic rock to produce serpentinite.

Lithosphere:

A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky' and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more.

Magnetic Anomaly

In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.

Proterozoic Eon

Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.

[-] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Weakened geomagnetic field:

Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

Biogenic molecules

A biogenic substance is a product made by or of life forms.
