Crazy, when I want to be grounded I just connect myself to the ground pin on my socket.
No.. I am not joking sadly https://groundingofficial.com/
i'm in a community for minimalist shoes/barefooting and this shit is the bane of our existence, every now and then someone joins and starts talking about grounding and it's miserable how few people are willing to firmly call it out as batshit nonsense
people seemingly can't do something unusual without a magical justification, "it feels nice" or "it's what we're evolved for" isn't enough, it's gotta be all spiritual and pseudoscientific apparently.
I especially like that they claim electronics burst into flames if they're not grounded, because the electrons have nowhere to go.
Which, let's ignore the complete misunderstanding of how electricity works for a moment, but if they truly believe the ground pin does something functionally, how do they ignore all the shit that only has a two prong plug?
If grounding doesn't satisfy you, you may wanna try sounding.
Why not both? Take a long double sided pin, one end goes in the ground socket, the other...
LMAO WTF is this?? xD. This website screams "healthcare scam", the spin to win wheel pop-up is the cherry on top.
I hope no one actually falls for this (please let me have this fantasy thx)
I have friends who sleep on a pile of wires…
“It’s no wonder [bad things] rates are on the rise! It must be because of not being barefoot on the grass!”
Yea, not uhhhh all this fucking horseshit.
That's hilarious. If you actually bought into this BS, you could just walk outside barefoot, it's free and literally everyone has access.
best part? that has actual physical benefits and (after getting used to it obviously) it feels fucking lovely to walk through nature.
nothing beats soft moss or a lush lawn, my god
This is in addition. Like if you are at home or a hotel and want to be "grounded"
Also, they have grounding shoes! Which are shows with a few small metal rods going through the bottom, so that when you wear them you are still electrically connected to the ground (which means they assume you don't wear socks???)
