      Did you hear the one about the homeopathic who tried to commit suicide?

      He took a 10X dilution of cyanide.

      Lol yeh a surprising amount of people believe in it.

      I once trained to work in pharmacies, we had companies present on their products and one of them was selling homeopathic products. One of the other students asked if it actually worked and the rep’s response was ‘if it didn’t do you think people would buy it?’ I didn’t say anything but I thought to myself yes, there absolutely are people who hand over money for dumb shit that doesn’t work lol.
