Fucking homeopathy/conspiracy theories/ energy field bullshit is pissing me off a lot more now that I have a family member who whole-heartedly believes in it
there's a lot of girls on the football team that buy $30 homeopathic creams for their injuries and they try to get me to buy it too and then I just stare at them and remind myself it would be very unsporting to stab my own teammates.
My mother is completely convinced that homeopathy is helping her. Both my dad and I have tried to explain to her why it's bullshit, but she brushes us off (or, more often, gets incredibly defensive and angry, because she thinks we're calling her stupid).
So we've learned to keep our mouths shut, because arguing just isn't worth it.
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. The bamboozle has captured us. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Try giving her a homeopathic meal for thanksgiving. Put a crumb of turkey in a bucket of water.

The worst part is she will say that's not diluted enough for it to be powerful or something equally fucked
the tap water in some places can be straight nasty
the tap at my apartment smells a bit manky, so I get a big ten gallon jug of water at the supermarket for a buck
with an initial investment of 11 bucks for a full jug
I used to have a job selling people crap like this.
In my defense, I was raised by crazy people who told me my whole life that all this stuff was real. It wasn't until I got older and actually looked for things like evidence and valid studies that I realized it was all a sham.
Also my job was in taking incoming calls, so the people I was talking to were already convinced that the water had emotions and needed to be cared for. I don't feel too bad separating those people from their money.
Pssssh..... you all drink water from taps and bottles and all that nonsensical bullshit. You know how I get my water? I catch hailstones as they fall from the sky with my bare hands and eat them! I don't mean baby hailstones either... oh no.... I'm talking bigger than grapefruit size! BIG ENOUGH TO HIT AND KILL A COW SIZE! BUHAHAHAHA....
You're a man's man, lady.

my chemistry professor spoke briefly on homeopathy and mentioned that water, supposedly having memory, changes out its hydrogen ions 100 million times per second
he also had to fight back a laugh the entire time he was talking about this

When dealing with homeopathy advocates, just ask them a few questions about how it works.
Like, why are cleaning chemicals are more dangerous before you mix them with water, if diluting things is supposed to make them more powerful.
It's quantum physics, you wouldn't understand.

Wired X505 Energy Drink Review
I have done several reviews on the Wired Energy Drink Line and last month I tried the Wired X344 which has 344 milligrams of caffeine crammed into 16 ounces which turns out to be about 21.5 milligrams per ounce and packs one hell of a mean kick. Today I have the pleasure of reviewing X-344's mutant brother - The Wired X-505. Why do I say mutant brother? If you really need to know skip down to the "kick" review and you will find out pretty fast. I'll give you a hint. Wired Energy Drinks has pushed the caffeine envelope as far as I have ever seen it pushed. Are you excited yet? I know I am. Onto the review!

Wired X505 Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well first off the taste is pretty much the same as the Wired X-344 meaning it has a citrus base to it with maybe a hint of orange flavor. Now there is a hint of medicinal aftertaste to the drink. However, it is nothing to cringe over and it is still probably better than the aftertaste you get from let's say a Red Bull. Even with a slight aftertaste Wired X505 is still enjoyable. Since the X505 is 23.5 ounces, yes that's right its huge, I drank this in two sittings - one in the early morning and one after lunch. Why did I drink this in two sittings? Was it because I could not stand the taste? No that was definitely not the reason. Read the kick review to find out why I drank this in two sittings. Taste Rating - 8.7
Wired X505 Energy Drink Review: Kick
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I have been building up anticipation for the kick review for the last couple paragraphs. But why? Well this is by far the strongest energy drink I have yet to drink. This mutant has 505 milligrams of caffeine in it. No thats not a typo. That's right 505 milligrams of caffeine. Combine that with 4400 milligrams of taurine (Redbull has about 1000 milligrams) and a ton of B-vitamins and.... I am speechless. Compare that to Redbull at about 80 milligrams of caffeine per serving. That means you would have to drink about 6.5 Redbulls to equal one Wired X-505. And that answers your question as to why I drank this in two sittings. I try all different kinds of energy drinks every day. This is the first that I did not drink in one single sitting. Was I scared? A little. But drinking this mutant bad boy in two sittings gave me a TON of energy. If you drink one of these and feel you need another energy drink let me know. I'll give you a medal. Kick Rating - 10 (only because that is as high as my scale will let me go). Screw it. It's my scale I am giving the damn drink a Kick Rating of 11 and adding in the #1 spot of my Strongest Energy Drink list.
Wired X505 Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
The taste is pretty good. The kick is off the scale (literally) and the price of $2.99 is unbelievable for what you get. If you have been buying two or three energy drinks throughout the day stop wasting your money (or give it to me). You only need one of these mutant energy drinks to get you through the day. Just be careful when drinking the X505. Heed the warning on the can and drink plenty of water to offset this massive amount of caffeine. Final Judgment 9.9!

She paid three thousand fucking dollars for it.
When I asked her why she got it, she did invoke the "microclusters" thing.
