content: This one takes the cake. On audiophile forums there are threads with pages and pages of people raving about the "jaw-dropping" improvement the US$250 Furutech Clear Line "AC optimizer" made to their stereo system:https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/furutech-ncf-clear-line-ac-conditioner.1108097/But if you actually look into the brochure for it, the manufacturer admits that there is no electrical connection between live and neutral, and it does not form a circuit:https://eliteavdist.com/docs/brochure/NCF%20Clear%20Line%20(News)-US-1_9090402-1599757656.pdfIt's basically a $250 plastic box with two springs in it and some "Nano Crystal Formula" pixie dust sprinkled on top.

content: Those forum posts are indeed jaw-dropping.But then - if they are happy with their purchase, I won't stop them.Maybe I should invent some type of orgone generator to improve audio and TV signals.Oh wait, I'm too late to the market, it seems...

content: Quote from: Haenk on January 06, 2022, 10:21:29 pmStrange coincidence, I just made an "Orgonite pyramid" from electronics leftovers. It draws so much negative energy from the environment, all my ground connections are now floating(In the pyramid I've embedded an LED connected directly to a small coil, and under the paper there's a wireless charger which causes it to light up)

content: I wonder what the simplest thing is you could sell, which is so obvious it does nothing, that these foolish people would believe makes a different?Isn't there some point at which even these fools would balk at a product's claims?

content: Actually, literally, there's a SIMPSONs TV episode covering this; A deeply flawed set of concepts that take on their own 'life'.I think the (tv show) suggestion was, out of sheer exasperation, a super-sarcastic phrase regarding 'Zombies', the uttered phrase was:"Maybe there are, also, 'Reverse Zombies'...only come out during daylight...".This then met with screams of distress...So, haenk, my playful advice would be: Be careful; people believe the worst, flawed sarcasm, you could come up with ! And maybe some have the (false) belief 'verified', by the mountain of legitimate denials issued, by the respectable and established.Now, my idea, 'they' are secretly working on a 'Moon Helicopter', at SpaceX ...(That kind of easily disproven crap can be the most 'viral').
