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

[-] andrewth09@lemmy.world 82 points 1 month 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 52 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 month 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 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Tja@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

UV is energy you can't see...

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

What is this Star Trek incantation shit

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 month 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 16 points 1 month ago

I'm not stoned and same.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 81 points 1 month ago

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

[-] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month 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.

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

Yeah... Hmm... Oh yeah.

I know some of these words.

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 11 points 1 month 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.

That sudy screams confirmation bias.

This is like "Is this the best barber in the world of Italian/Irish heritage with scorleosis and balding hairline named Joseph?" .... The answer is always: "Probably, yes"
