POV: The day the MLP thread was archived

Edit: Are you loving kidding me? Did I feel a disturbance in the loving bronyverse? I haven't even thought or posted about MLP in a few years and this post ended up being timed horribly. We learned like dec 8th the dc pipe bomber was a brony.

they'll be back after demand dies

they'll always be back

I've rarely seen prices fall after a jump like this.
IE the tariff price increases and now that tariffs were suspended, the prices didnt fall, they just put it back at the old prices for the black friday discounts and now they're back up

Dowsing may or may not be real but paying money for a class in dowsing is most certainly a scam. Any valuable information on the topic is probably on Reddit and Wikipedia for free

I'm willing to believe in some crystal stuff because the Placebo effect is real and powerful and if you believe hard enough that this rock is easing your menstrual pain, it does kind of work in that way. Dowsing strikes me as mystical bullstuff misappropriated from something native Americans used to do

Okay but why is your mom going to take a class on Dowsing? Is she gonna trek into the desert or something?

My parents are crystal people if that explains it enough, Love em but man it gets awkward when magical stuff comes up.

This all stemmed from hearing a story from my mother about my brothers well which apparently was running dry (We were having a drought this year) but it turns out my brothers well is like loving 15 feet deep, aka like 4 feet deeper than the basement. When I brought this up and the fact the average well depth in our state is 250ft. My parents both claimed that it might be better to have a well that's shallow as it protects against stuff like radon which might be true? But from my short "research" it means you're exposed to surface contaminants.
