What. The. Fuck. Is. That?! Besides terror personified?

I can honestly say I never thought I’d feel dread and sympathy on behalf of a giant fucking spider.
Sympathetic magic at it’s best (also featured in homeopathy… If it causes blisters, a diluted solution of it must cure blisters…).
F-this believing in medicine and science schtick. Anyone want to fund my new business? It’s called “sweeping barber shops for free bags of hair, then chemically digesting the keratin, and re-extruding it into counterfeit rhino horns”…
Seems legit.

Woh now, let’s not give homeopathy too much credibility, you make it sound like a vaccine!
Water with the memory of what causes blisters
Holy hell did you read the plot synopsis? It’s Gilligan’s Island vs the Fungi from Yuggoth!
When I think about cordyceps or that horrible crab parasite, I become really happy about my bones being on the inside of my body.
due to less saturation of the market with cheap porn in the 70s than today it was easier to maintain an erection, nowadays every man is basically James Brown, looking good but needing a lot of drugs to actually get it up, I blame the Internet!
I bet some of you are wondering about this post huh.
Nah, I was going off of what I had described once to me about a homeopathic blister “remedy” that involved crushing up cantharidae beetles and diluting the shit out of them. My response “you mean blister beetles”. Those little buggers that sometimes infest hay and give horses oral/esophageal blisters. How in the world are blister inducing compounds supposed to get rid of blisters?". The response? Well, you dilute it so much that there’s no longer any cantharadin in the water, but the water “remembers” the cantharadin, and then tries to draw the blister causing essence out of the affected tissue." or some crap like that. My response: “Well, what if the blister wasn’t caused by cantharadin beetles, but a thermal burn?”.
The funny thing is that there is some research into use of cantharadin as a treatment for warts/papillomas (because it’s so ridiculously nasty to tissues).
No I know, but my point is that’s not how homeopathy works. The solution isn’t just dilute, it’s diluted to the point in which the substance is no longer present. The ‘scientific’ explanation is that the water retains the ‘memory’ of everything it interacted with.
I was basically pointing out that your absurd example wasn’t absurd enough 
Homeopathic water memory hahahaha, love it.
Water memory works all kinds of ways in homeopathy. I like to draw a glass of cool refreshing water, sit it on a table, and verbally degrade it for one hour.
I really let it have it, tell it about it’s mom, it’s future as pee, how no one ever loved it, and it’s ugly to boot, everything you can think of. By the end of the hour I assure you, that isn’t condensation, it’s tears.
Then I drink it and it the memory of that dressing down it holds magically cures me of whatever sort of depression or bad mood I had before. Works every time.

(Which isn’t saying much, but it’s saying something.)
Gotta get in on the ground floor. Find the next big dick shaped fungus.
Say it’s “Himalayan” or some such nonsense . stick it in a plastic bag, and we’re rich baby.
not for long
Sorry. Being trained in “Western Medicine” (you know, science…) I have a hard time trying to explain just how batshit insane all of that crap is.
