I spend so much energy every week trying to create real value for customers; meanwhile someone is making money off of this. I conceive of scams like this all the time, but some part of me always keeps me from actually executing.
And then someone, who is willing to bend ethics to get what they want, worked on that idea and messed up our world.
i try to convince everyone with a scammy idea to think twice, simply by asking how they would feel if someone else had tried that same scam on their mom/dad/grandparents, and what they would do to the scammer
another trick is "how would your mother feel if she knew you make money by scamming", but thats a bit more pointed and reserved for actual friends since it can lead to a fight
the few % who would actually scam their own mother, bless them. i'm just happy the total number of scammers to people is still <5% ish :)
For $500 I have a necklace that will cure you of those ethics and protect you from 5G!
It's very confusing.
That seems incorrect, or least depends on where you draw the line on "abundant" Thorium, at atomic number 90, is one of the rarest elements. [0] It falls middle of the pack in terms of presence in the Earth's crust, but after the first dozen or so, most elements are-- relative to that first dozen-- extremely rare. Thorium is about 6ppm.
>and has mundane uses.
Lots of things have mundane uses while being extremely dangerous if misused. Chlorine is about 20x more abundant, has plenty of mundane uses, and is also poisonous. Thorium is a cancer-causing element, and over the past decades thorium has been systematically removed from any product or industrial process that does not require it.
I think it's safe to say that it's a bad idea, and presents a least some risk, to include it in consumer product worn on your body.

After observing what he was doing for a few minutes, I asked him “Is that bracelet magnet?”
Problem solved
Technically true
It turns out, they have lied to us all along. Evolution is the survival of the smartest.
evolutionary fitness is about a population's ability to survive in perpetuity, not an individual. its a different context of the word "fittest". fitness here means odds of sexual reproduction, and so since a necklace with ionizing radiation will not prevent a wearer with low cognitive abilities and gullibility from creating viable offspring with the same genes before the cancer breaks through, it therefore has nothing to do with evolutionary fitness.
it is more likely that we select for these traits because we can't stand being around mates that are grounded in reality (or that those mates won't reproduce due other factors like ensuring not to)
The involved in the confabulation perhaps ought to have read the article before expressing their quick judgement.
Didn’t want to comment on the quality of the joke, or test whether it was a joke at all
But didn’t want other people to think it was relevant, or think it was a good or well applied joke
