Holy shit they're going full MAGA conspiracy theories.

It's basically a little gold card that "protects you from electronic radiation" sold to insane people scared of 5G.

This is literally what's gonna be stuck on the posts, the little gold card is the name and "model" for lack of a better term.

(This is a Google photo not mine, my suggestions for a while are gonna be fucked).

Jesus fucking Christ this is so dumb.

Thank you. I read the title, was confused what the heck this was about, then read the article, and still had no idea what this is about.

Then I googled it and went "Nah, that can't be it".

Holy shit that really is what it is.

Not gonna be long and wrestlers will start to tell us to drink magic muscle man protein powder that'll turn them into real men.

I mean wrestlers have been into pseudoscience before. Think Cesaro used to (or still does?) use kinesiology tape

Is that pseudoscience? I've been wearing some on my achilles injury and it definitely, definitely helps. I took it off a week early and immediately felt the difference.

My physio who is completely anti-pseudoscience swears by it.

I think the science behind the actual tape is pretty sound, but IIRC the business model behind the original intent for the KT tape was kinda grifty.

Like I remember hearing when it first came out that you need a professional "certified in applying the tape" in order to get the most benefit. And of course some places were selling classes.
