This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I do believe that people operate at different vibrational frequencies...like you know the person who comes in the room and there's just a creepy dark energy? It happens. Its not voodoo weird stuff but there's definitely a 6th sense about people that's present.
It's more likely a collection of more mundane unconscious observations using all of your more normal senses that get very quickly consolidated in to one intuitive sense of dubious reliability but which in the absence of better information keeps you a bit safer.
To be fair I very much don't believe in wifi. I use it, but I still think it doesn't have what it takes.
Shout out to my broken coworker who brought his crystals in to work one day to fix our negative energy. After carefully placing each stone according to universal leylines of good vibes, extraordinarily pleased with himself, immediately saw me slice through a package and into my fingers. I needed eleven stitches.
That's just how the magic stones remove the negative energy from your body, through bloodletting
It all makes sense now. The universe balanced my humors.
WiFi IS real. "Auras", "Vibes" and "Crystal Energy" is magical nonsense.
That's just what big WiFi wants you to think so they can sell you more WiFi
Open your eyes sheeple! And also remember to buy my $499 online course on how to make the vibrations of your aura more positive or something
Can you teach me to vibrate into alternate universes like The Flash? 'Cause I don't like this one that much.
Absolutely! But that's not covered until the Level 2 course, which is an in-person retreat.
They aren't "powering everything". JFC go lick a wall outlet, that's what powers many things. WiFi is information, and indeed, they try to make it use less and less power.
Heard some conspiracy folks mention negative frequencies from 5G and the like. It's just a phase I guess..
Negative frequency is a concept in signal processing, and many other domains.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_frequency
Phase could be the thing, beats me, it's been a while. Negative resistance is also another one of those concepts that pop up now and then, specifically negative differential resistance.
Oh god, it’s been a long time since I took Vibrations and Waves, but I still remember filling notebook after notebook with Fourier transform equations.
I mean, the signs* are right there in the article
*something something sines
Trying to legitimize bullshit by using big words out of context and meaning
You guys, energy, frequency and vibration are all obviously fake. Nobody has ever observed vibration in real life. Go on and try measuring one of those "frequencies", I'll wait. Where are you even supposed to find those? "A faucet dripping"? "Your literal heartbeat"? Don't make me laugh!
I'll show you some nice vibrations ;-)
Tuning forks are big fake
have you tried to find a tuning fork lately? they're little fake now. i just got an application across my desk asking for a grant for money to put tuning forks in weird places because there's not enough woo and i'm gonna reject it because it's a good idea and i want to do it.
Big Tuning Fork are lying to us!
Big Stillness doesn't want you to know.
You can map out the inside of a building and figure out where objects are, and when and where movement occurs, with WiFi.
You cannot do this with magic woo woo nonsense that equivocates and conflates terms across different domain specific meanings, and then attempts to build a world view out of confused, meaningless/contradictory gibberish.
Batman taught me this.
I... am not entirely certain whether or not the tech actually existed, when the Dark Night came out, to build the hyper spy system...
But it definitely exists now, to at least some extent.
Fortunately, ~~the Antichrist~~ Peter Thiel is probably more or less in charge of it, so, all good!
I can't say I tune with your vibes, but I am grooving to your aura.
Must be a Pisces. Classic Pisces vibes lol
fuck. pisceses always make me want sushi.
my piceses, my piceses!

I absolutely believe in energy, frequency, and vibration. My wifi vibrates at a frequency of 2.4 and 5 GHz and in order to do that it needs to use energy.
Like, I'm down with hippie woo energy work, it's really useful meditation. I use it to keep my anxiety under control. But your religion can't cure diseases, it can only provide comfort
Meditation is awesome and useful. But it doesn't need to be mystical and magical to be great, and I wish more people realized that.
That's how I feel about astrology. A horoscope is just a prompt for self reflection. But it's fun when something feels woo woo or predictive or relatable because... its fun, idk. Its spooOoOoOoKy, it's fun, it's cute. Star charts are a skill you have to learn, it's a hobby, it makes your brain work.
I do believe gorilla piss exists.
I do not believe drinking gorilla piss would grant you gorilla strength (citation needed).
I'm so tired of this mainstream propaganda.

well yeah, obviously! You have to dilute it 1000 times for it to have any effect.
"It's funny how people will believe in Newton's laws of motion but still think the Force from Star Wars is mythical nonsense."
I used to love reading W.I.T.C.H. comics and they always had a bunch of fun stuff about zodiacs and reading the future in tea leaves, moons and stars and all that silly stuff. I friggin loved that shit because it was fun for the imagination and it also tied in well with the comic being about a groups magical girls who get their powers from nature and blah blah blah. I thought it was fun to find out what my element was based on what month I was born in and what my birthstone was and take little personality tests to see which one of the girls I was like the most (9 out of 10 times, I got Taranee).
The thing is, though: I always knew it was just play pretend and fun past time stuff.
I have had that fun permanently destroyed for me after people started believing in astrology and magic for real. I know people irl who refer to their zodiacs as an explanation for how they like their coffee or why they push their work to last minute or why they vibe well with this and that person. They take personality tests and believe it for real instead of using it as some stupid past time fun. Online, it's even worse. It gives me the same level of ick as the women in Sex and the City.
It absolutely fucking ruined the fun for me and I just can't read my horoscope anymore because I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those people.
You might enjoy Terry Pratchett's witches series. There's magic, but the real trick is solving your problems without ever using it. Wyrd Systers or Wee Free Men are good places to start.
Indeed I do! Granted, it has been a minute since I last visited Terry Pratchett's Discworld, but I have a goal of gnawing my way through 50 books this year, so I might as well peek back in. Thank you for the reminder!
