>dad wants to buy one of those alkaline water ionizer things
>tell him its fake shit, they dont do anything
>tells me his friend has one and swears by it
>says he borrowed some water from his friends ionizer to test it and it worked
>try explaining that its probably a placebo effect but he doeesnt get it
>google for water ionizers to prove to him its a scam
>every water ionizer "review" we come across is an obvious fake site made by the company (seriously, google "water ionizer" and see for yourself)
>can't explain to him that these sites are fake because i have no actual reasoning i could explain, i just "know" by looking at it

The machine makes a weird ass SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as it ramps up and now after I've been having one every day for a couple of weeks I start getting anxious and my heartrate increases every time I hear that noise.

I don't want to be pavlovs dog, any suggestions?
