Haha. I am a retired aerospace engineer. I have made a half dozen accounts here, and can't figure out who these angry simps are. I ask intelligent questions, make intelligent comments, and STILL get downvoted into oblivion. I thought this HN internet space might be safe from that kind of hate.....

OK sir, I apologize... (anything change?)

"HN mods are lenient". Maybe. But I've be down-karma'd so much I've had to create half a dozen new profiles just to stay above water. I'm a retired senior engineer from aerospace (so, not an ignoramus), I am very curious, I ask a lot of (what I think are) intelligent questions, and invariably I get downvoted (or whatever) for unknown reasons (since downvotes are invisible to me), So I just figure there are a pile of butt-hurt simps here, along with VERY intelligent and curious people. Weird mixture that I'm not used to. In engineering, I got along with virtually everyone. Not so much in this wild-west internet space...

I really don't understand the underlying "rules" here at HN. Yes I've read the "written" rules, but there is some undercurrent stuff that baffles me

seems people here are so fucking rude. They downvote for no reason other than their own petty egos are damaged somehow...
Of course they know....

"the roots of 'this ignorance' stems from misinformation and counterproductive advice found in popular media and information hubs on the Internet."

Exactly this same quote could be used for: "Covid is fake", Homeopathy, Anti-vax, "stolen elections", etc etc etc. But when America churns out youth under the "No child left behind" mantra (who are now currently voting age) , what else do you think would happen?

Kinda what he stated when he mentioned Epsom Salts in a bath. Which would be magnesium applied 'topically' (externally)

The point to the story is that he ran his own trial on his own body and found that there wasn't any benefit. Guys, it's just an opinion...
