Mildly related, here’s another instance of harmful things you can buy on Amazon: “negative ion” trinkets that are actually radioactive [1]. [1]: [this video]

Yes, radon is pretty hilarious and spreads in very unexpected ways. Completely wrapping sources of radon like uranium or thorium minerals (or these bracelets containing some of that), only holds back the diffusion process for some time unless the shielding is really thick and very dense. That's why radon accumulates so well in household cellars, it penetrates concrete walls easily. If you look closely in thought emporiums video (link below), the thick clouds - representing each the full paths of individual alpha particles (from the point of decay until full absorption in the air) - don't originate right at the surface of his shielding materials (paper, chicken skin... whatever). Instead, the

> This is how a free market works. Said free market tends to create weird customs that are not necessarily good for the most of us. Someone once said radiation has healing properties and last radioactive items for healing appeared, oh well, on Amazon. [this video] and before that, there's a museum of the same stuff [LINK] Note that I am not saying the regulator can not or will not abuse their rights. This is a big issue and I'm not competent enough to say where I'm leaning there. I only disagree with "free market will lead to the best solution by itself".

Here's a video about the subject - as usual, Amazon was (and might still be involved) in selling such products: [this video]

Reminds of this video [this video] where the maker went to debunk the negative ion energy bands, only to discover some of them had highly dangerous powdered thorium coating them.

> If you can't trust the origins of pottery on Amazon, why can you trust the origins of anything on Amazon? Because many (most?) categories of goods are consolidated into an effective oligopoly of reputable brands, where these brands push competitors out of the market in basically every respect — in brand-recognition, in advertising payments, in number of reviews, in review score, in "link juice", etc. So even when there are garbage Shenzhen e-waste products being marketed on the same website, in the same category as the thing you're looking for, you won't see them if there are real products to be had, because the first five pages are all the real products. (Unless you're doing very specific

These and similar products have been around for years, and can often be purchased through Amazon: [this video] 5G is just the new excuse.

The product pictured featured in an exposé of such junk in a pair of Thought Emporium videos a year ago [1] [2], the former of which apparently resulted in several of the products being pulled from Amazon (as reported in the second video). [1] [this video] [2] [LINK]
