Eschar: Dead tissue that eventually sloughs off healthy skin after an injury.

Other highlights from searching "Eschar":
"Should Eschar be removed?"
"How long does it take for Eschar to go away?"
"Is Eschar gangrene?"
"What's the difference between Eschar and necrotic tissue?"
...nothing, in about 70 years

Continuing with the names thing, Online doesn't know either.

I looked up my name and it shows my bay12 account and one of the headers was Clara III, Losing Is Fun

James Veitch continues to impress.  If you haven't seen his stuff, you should.

I’ve seen them, they are glorious

FTFY

This is why I love James Veitch.  I couldn't even be mad.

I saw a suggested page ad that had been sticking around on Facebook for a while, some dude in shades staring off into a kinda spacy CG backdrop with lots of connected lines and radii and whatever. The name of the page didn't tell me anything, since it was just (presumably) this dude's name, so I hovered over it to get a look at what it had to say for itself.

"This is the official Facebook group for scientist Nassim Haramein, director of research of the Reso..."

Wait, scientist? ...is this some other popsci personality that I haven't heard about? That background's got a lot of lens flare for a scientist, but okay... I'll bite.

I checked the page, and found the rest of the description: "...Resonance Science Foundation"

Uh oh.


Naturally, I had to look... Maybe it's not as bad as it sounds, right? Maybe it's an actual center specializing in ultrasonic modeling or something?

No, no no. It's exactly as bad as it sounds. The foundation's website itself is kinda toned-down to desperately make it try and sound vague enough to be realistic, but then there's a little mention of "Using the precise geometry of nature – and tools like the ARK® crystal – we are bringing our own lives back into harmony with the power the universe holds."

Aaaaaalrighty then. Mhm. And what is this ARK® crystal, pray tell? Why, it's nothing less than an overpriced paperweight a revolutionary marvel in the field of Advanced Resonance Kinetics (ARK) and crystal technology!

What does it do, you ask? Well, this wonder of modern science is precision engineered to specifically interact with the zero-point dynamics of the vacuum to link with and harness the energy and information of this primary quantum field.


And... It just... It just gets worse from there. There's a splash page showing the numerous benefits of... Well, of wearing/being remotely adjacent to one of these doodads, and one of the bullet points there is "With the technology of the ARK crystal, users can experience the numerous benefits of increased hydration."

The concept here being that these zero-point energy quantum vacuum vibrations apparently make water's "molecular arrangement" become "more structured and highly coherent", which I guess makes water wetter. But I just cannot get over that hydration statement.


EDIT: Oh god this charlatan is doing a Reddit AMA on the 10th

[IcyTea31]

That sounds a lot like one charlatan I once laughed at with friends. Their claim was that the glass bottle they sold "changed water's structure" by focusing Orgone energy into it with a laser-carved mandala. Their proof of this was two microscope images, one of slush ("tap water") and one of ice ("water stored in [brand] bottle").

So your telling me that if I attach a bunch of science and sci-fi buzzwords to a bit of broken glass or a rock, people would believe that it would do what I said it would and I could sell it for a lot of money, its like the easiest money making scam ever.


I wonder if it hurts to be so stupid to buy shit like that.

Oh no, quite the contrary. Ignorance is bliss, after all.

I guess that means being stupid is the secret to infinite happiness.

The alternative is to raise the prices & make it "exclusive. You want it. You need it. This rock will make you beautiful. Sexy. This rock fucks. You fuck too, if you buy this rock."

That's how we end up with a $60,000 bottle of water to go with your luxury ice cubes harvested by a helicopter flown to a Norwegian glacier
