My 2 year old grandson engages with us via his mums mobile with Whatsapp
He is quite skilled in it's use, I'm not sure of his handwashing regime however.Bank cards, during my dad's later years, I was entrusted with use of his bank cards on his behalf.
His was called Bill, how ironic

You mean if companies succeed in misinforming consumers, right? Because it's not automatic that people fall for misinformation. After all, we are humans, not sheep. But some do behave like sheep though.
Do you know what stagnates more?

Somehow I fail to clearly understand your comments to my posting.
I know greed is an age-old thing, my post was referring to modern times.
No he is an engineer, or in other words an applied scientist. But he unequivocally a science communicator.
Copper works better than silver.
Silver only has any biocidal effect if humidity is >95%. Copper does not need humidity.
That's what I meant.
I could spend multiple lifetimes wading through misinformation before having the complete 2022 human experience in all professions.
'Falling for misinformation' and 'trusting what another person says' are two sides of the same coin to me. I just don't have it in me to exploit people based on their characteristics and I have a lot of trouble understanding people who do.
Tell me...
Indian Railways used a Titanium Dioxide coating on train door handles in an effort to make them germicidal.
That is the basic ingredient of any opaque paint of light color.
No, I did not follow up on its quality as a germ killer.
Some people here use pens on elevator buttons, and umbrella handles on doors in an effort to prevent contamination.

It seems that "the fear" of germs is promoted, like this so-called pandemic stuff.
Fear is used in advertising because it's a powerful tool of marketing, and companies know that.
It's made people nuts, paranoid, goofy.
That would make him engineering communicator, no? Because earlier you said science communicator is a celebrity scientist that operates as a spokesperson.
Pandemic...I have seen too may seemingly healthy people die of it, so we differ it seems on the reality and its effect on society.
But yes, the fear of germs has made people behave in, let us say, a peculiar fashion.
I have a book about a saint which mentions that all animals have some basic instincts, among them fear, hunger and sexual desire, what separates us from animals is knowledge.
It then becomes the responsibility of the teachers that the student is imparted proper knowledge, and also the realization that one day the student may surpass the teacher in many ways.
But see what is happening, I see kids becoming social media influencers, whose knowledge and education levels are junk.
And schools, I think some people choose not to have kids, those are among the reasons. Don't start me on that long topic.
Anyway, now we are going a little off topic here.

Since this is audio forum and the title of this thread is "Funniest snake oil theories", we can just focus of audio electronics.
Often those two come from one source (company or person). When people trust someone or some company, they make themselves become more prone to falling for x, y, z. Real life example of this on this forum is that someone registered and started posting just like typical forum member, questioning the claims of certain electronic components and ...etc. Little did people know that he was operating in sleeper mode, you know, to earn trust from other readers. Then one day, he removed his "mask" and went right to his work, a shill for a boutique audio business.
Greed for fame and or fortune were mentioned earlier. Those two are pretty much the most common reason.
Since there are forum posting rules against politics, I'll just bring up a hint and leave it at that, North Korea.
I know all about Mandel, and his obsession with germs, yes.
The man has mental problems.
It's a mental sickness.
Not much different than people living by "apps" on a cellphone.
It's just not a normal way to live!
I'm sure I once knew that and had forgotten. Thank you for the reminder.
I don't think it has any germicidal properties. It's just very white. It's in toothpaste after all
I see no evidence of greed being worse now than in the past. That was my point. You can't see through your clean window for your dirty rose tinted glasses.
Well denying a pandemic is a snake oil theory, it's just not a very funny one.
