It doesn’t lose suction

Let’s face it. We all have someone we’d like to banish, but handmade Guardian Meditation Enhancer Shield ARC units aren’t cheap. Fortunately, you can get a similar effect by staring at a Dyson canister after vacuuming under a lathe.

*For added realism, stick five $100 bills up your ass until you “no longer feel anything.”

      You’d trust a tinfoil hat made by someone else? You’re brave. I’d never know what their ulterior motives were and the tinfoil hat could be attracting the aliens, but I’m rather gullible.

          What I really love about the study was that they discovered that tin foil hats actually AMPLIFY the signals at the ranges accessible to governments and corporations. So when you think you’re “protecting yourself” from them, you’re actually MORE vulnerable (assuming mind control signaling actually occurred). It’s excellent fodder for conspiracy theorists.

          It suddenly dawned on me – how did they make burritos and hats BEFORE the invention of tinfoil? Burritos and hats have been around for a long time. We can therefore conclude that tinfoil was a gift to the Aztecs from the folks from Proxima Centauri.

          And buying tinfoil hats? – *snort*. WE always made our own, digging tin from Mother Earth, smelting it with Cousin Fire, and rolling it into sheets on distressed barn wood by hand. Just as Cthulhu intended.

    Is that made with busted-up Slinkies and Mardi Gras beads? If so, they are seriously missing out on some upcycling tagging. For that matter, paint the majority of the twiddly bits copperish, glue a few fake cogs on there, and you can double the asking price for the steampunk aficionados.

    How does it work? Do you turn it upside-down like an hourglass and, as each twiddly bit falls, mark the death of another aspect of your dignity? Does it plug in? Do you shake it? Just how big is this damned thing? I think that’s what’s throwing me off the most, and that’s saying a lot. Then again, I suspect this seller struggles with perspective even when not photographing the only remaining Guardian Meditation Enhancer Shield ARC.

    Since it’s an insular group of people with fake buzzwords; here are some things that they don’t mention because the people who shell out $500 for it already know:

    The yellowish-clear medium that holds everything is casting resin, so the entire thing is solid and no parts of it move [no fun "rain stick" or "crazy contraption" action]

    Those actually are metal craps/wires piled in. Metal spirals are considered “better” than just plain metal bits, but I got the impression that a mixture is best. [Note the spiraled wires around thicker spiraled wires.]

    I think that my family came up with the phrase “succor punch”; they were quite proud of their clever wordplay
