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

So long as that spot is 6 feet away from everyone else, they might be on to something. More research is required.

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?

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

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

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.

That made my head spin. Sorry about the pun - guilty as charged.

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.

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.

In the Chinese language, Lóng 龍 is dragon. Di Long, literally earth dragon is what we call earth worms. So yes, dragons exist, depending on one's definition of the term, naturally.

Agreed. Can we genemod them for fire, or would that be silly and impetuous?

Okay, but now I really want to read the rest of the paper to see what R'lyehian incantations it contains.

Ok, small deviation, was it ever "Ba Sing Sah' instead of "Ba Sing Se"? Cause everybody that I know (and who knows ATLB) tells me it was always "Ba Sing Se", but I almost swear that it was "Ba Sing Sah"...I can hear her saying "Bah Sing Sah"...have I been brainwashed?

Basingse is the pinyin transliteration of the simplified Chinese characters 永固城. 城 is se. 永固城 means Great Impenetrable City. Sah, I don't think, is a pinyin transliteration.

永固城 pinyin is not Ba Sing Se, it's Yong Gu Cheng. I genuinely have no idea where that coming from.

lemmy.world

Oh wow! That's messed up. I grabbed the characters from the wiki and just assumed it was the pinyin for those characters. Why would they make it up? All of those phonomes are pinyin. Couldn't they just use some other characters like 巴辛塞.

4

Right? 永固城 doesn't sounds like a good name at all. But then you can just add both up and call it 永固城巴辛塞, basically mean Ba Sing Se the Impregnable City

Isnt China the place covid19 originated from?

Wouldnt some chinese people already tried traditional chinese medicine 4 years ago?

The scary thing is that this managed to get published in the first place.

And it is sad that they had it withdrawn. I would love to see that real science rips this idea to shreds.
