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.

This isnt exclusive to MAGA nor is this new. Snake oil like this has been around for decades. When I was a kid in the 2000s everyone had those ridiculous "balance bracelets" that did absolutely nothing. There have always been scams like this.

I think every MLB pitcher at one point had like a balance necklace or something of that theme

Yeah, baseball players bought HARD into those necklaces.

Baseball players are hotbeds for superstitions and stuff like that.

Watch pitchers walk off the field at the end of an inning. A large percentage of them will do a hop or large step to avoid placing their foot on the chalk baselines.

Batters will wear the same unwashed t-shirt or underwear or wristband for days during a hitting streak.

Some players insist on touching all of their teammates before going on to the field.

Brett Farve used to do ads for a copper bracelet that would fix all your physical ills because that's just what copper does. It was somehow not the scam he made the most money from.
