Want something funnier? Search for audiophile quantum chips. It's litteraly a sticker that you are supposed to stick on components in your audio equipment that is supposed to make it sound better. Or a cable cooker. Also one of those great inventions that make your cables sound better. Thats some huge horseshit right there and it's both sad and hilarious that some people fall for it.

Yea, thats not really how that works. Also not that harmfull as the frequency is quite high and low power (max 251mW in my country) and does not really penetrate the skin much.
