How much would the sea level fall if every ship were removed all at once from the Earth’s waters?
—Michael Toje
About six microns—slightly more than the diameter of a strand of spider silk.
The oceans are currently rising at about 3.3 millimeters per year due to global warming (through both glacial melting and thermal expansion of seawater).
At that rate (normalized for seasonal variation and short-term fluctations), if you removed every ship from the ocean, the water would be back up to its original average level in 16 hours .
As far as I know the only harm coming from infrared is macular degeneration in the eyes and at high levels, spontaneous human combustion. No good except to kill sperm faster (through heating) and maybe, maybe increase testosterone production to compensate. But I doubt that could be proven.
Lotta bad takes out there though, confusing one deep end of the visible spectrum with the other.
To be fair, I was primed by seeing this other video earlier today, which (among other things) shows what might be someone doing this… which looks like they’re posing naked above someone’s backyard swimming pool with a space heater pointed directly at their groin. And, uh… I have to wonder how much they expect idiots to pay for this wonderful “treatment”.
Surprised Tucker isn’t going all the way and pushing “taint tanning”.
As it turns out, the anti-vaccine activist got that unscientific medical advice from Dr. Edward Group, a chiropractor who is a pal of Alex Jones, and who sells online coursework for learning the benefits of drinking the “golden nectar.”
If you prefer not to drink your own urine, Group also suggests gargling, snorting, or injecting it. Elsewhere, he has recommended massaging muscles with urine, or using it as a decongestant. “I found that it works really well with pain,” Group said during a late December video vouching for his “urotherapy,” which lacks any clinical or scientific medical backing.
Nevertheless, Group seems to be a true believer: “I have been drinking about a half-gallon a day for roughly about four months,” he admitted in one video.
The image that was on the actual article (the Southern Living article doesn’t seem to exist now, the link I’d saved for it just this morning doesn’t go anywhere now)
I would have probably kept scrolling past in my newsfeed if my brain hadn’t screeched to a halt trying to reconcile “youngest black law school graduate” with the image that was next to it, so I guess as clickbait it worked?
More excerpts, if you also can’t avoid looking at the train wreck:
The faculty of Bob Jones University have stood for the “absolute authority of the Bible since 1927” and their amazing toll-free number, 1-800-BJ-AND-ME, still works. Jesus Christ, this means their business model of making dumb people dumber for money has been working for over 90 years.
