day 86
do any of yall ever have like. an Evil infodump? where instead of endlessly word vomiting about a thing you love and are very informed about, there is a thing you are equally well-informed about but hate with a passion that you cannot hold back in conversation?
i do :')
(I'll put it under the cut for the curious because I think it's important and i cannot be stopped but also i'm not kidding the facts are infuriating)
SO. "Homeopathic" is often interpreted as sort of a vague synonym for "natural," or "organic," but it's actually related to a system of alternative medicine that means something Very Specific.
There are two main principles behind the practice of Homeopathy.
"Like cures like." This is the idea that, for example, if you have a headache, taking a veeeery small amount of a substance that is known to CAUSE headaches will cure that symptom. I understand where people fall into this flawed idea, as it sounds very similar to the principles behind, say, vaccines, or antivenom. But it isn't universally applicable in this way. An herb isn't a virus. But even if it was, a Homeopathic preparation of that herb would not have any effect on the body because of the second principle.
"Water has memory." This is the idea that water is able to "remember" any substance that it has had contact with. This is also not true. Molecules don't really have any way to store information like that, and even if they did, well... What would that information do inside our bodies? Would our cells have any way to interpret and process that information? What would they do with it? It's all rather nebulous and it seems like more of a spiritual claim than a scientific one. Which is fine, but is not medicine.
So, with these principles in mind, the process of creating a "Homeopathic Preparation of [insert substance here]" goes a little something like this: You take a dropper and put one drop of your active substance in a container with a hundred drops of water. You then take a drop of that mixture, and put it in another container with another hundred drops of water. You continue this dilution process until there is, quite literally, a near-zero percent chance that your mixture contains even a single molecule of your original active substance (depending on the level of dilution believed to be best for the substance in question. Typically, a higher dilution is considered more potent.) So it is, by this point, literally just a vial of water.
This vial of water is what is then sold as a "Homeopathic preparation of [substance]." OR that water is used to compound a batch of sugar pills, or gel capsules, or tablets, whatever format is being offered. Regardless, the composition of the tincture is literally just water and ~*vibes*~.
And they sell these vials of expensive vibe water! At!!!

THE PHARMACY!!! WITH LIKE THE IBUPROFEN AND ALL THE OTHER REAL MEDICINES!!! AND NO BIG WARNING LABELS THAT SAY, "THIS CONTAINS NO ACTIVE INGREDIENTS AND IS BASED ON VIBES ALONE," OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!
In fact! In the US they are able to advertise that they have been FDA approved! (FDA approval of dietary supplements is not the same as FDA approval of actual medications. In the context of supplements, approval just means they've proved it won't just kill you straight up, and thus you're allowed to sell it.) And, well. It certainly won't kill you! In fact they often also advertise things like, "It's natural!" and "No harmful side effects!" and "No risk of overdose!" and it's all technically true! BECAUSE IT'S JUST WATER! LIKE I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW IT'S LITERALLY JUST WATER!!!
Anyway. Please keep this in mind the next time you are offered a homeopathic remedy, or see one advertised in the store, or hear your antivaxxer auntie bragging about the fact that her kids all got a "homeopathic" alternative to their MMR shots.
IT'S! JUST! VIBE WATER!!!!

The Clocktown Mystery
Chapter One: The Mystery of the Peculiar Portal
There was something very wrong with the portal.
In fairness, there was always something wrong with the portals. Stepping into them felt both like stepping into the emptiness between worlds and it felt like being squeezed through the most compressed, miniscule crevice in the universe. Their bodies felt as though they were simultaneously being torn into atoms and pressed tighter than should have ever been possible, all while something deep, something innate told them to walk, just keep walking forwards until all of a sudden the strangeness of the portal was nothing more than a bad dream and the glaring darkness melted back into reality.
But this one was different. Something about it was wrong, something more than the usual feeling of unreality that accompanied the appearance of a portal. The smell of ozone that came with it was too strong and the edges of the swirling darkness seemed to be made of static, jumping and shifting between solid and indistinct, tearing at the edges of reality.
“I’m out.” Legend said. “Whatever. Screw this. That thing looks like it’s going to eat us and I'm not about to get pulled apart by a broken-ass portal. Fuck it. I’m out.” for emphasis, he threw his hands in the air and made to turn on his heel.
As he moved, though, a bolt of lightning lanced from the portal and struck the ground at his feet, blackening the grass in every direction. Legend shrieked and leapt back, and even from a few feet away Warriors could feel the fine hair on his arms and legs standing on end with the electricity humming through the air. The stench of ozone had become all encompassing.
“Or I guess I'm in!” He squeaked.
Read the rest on AO3!
