Info-Demic Infestation

Well, folks, here we are again… The FF is indeed a forum for free exchange of, from and for the fearless fertile brains of the crème de la crème. 

We are smack dab in the midst of the Big Bad Bug infestation. The only thing faster than this BBB is the info-demic infestation in the social media. Indeed, those (forwar)dodo’s are flying faster and soaring higher than the eagles in every forum. 

The FF crème are occupying their time coming up with creative solutions to solve such problems.  They are ready to challenge the normal – working every angle – acute and obtuse – and proposing that their tangents are now the new normal.  There are two novel solutions that​ are being unleashed​​ lately. 

The first solution is getting rid of those ridiculous hand sanitizers, soaps, etc. laden with poisonous chemicals. Indeed, many entrepreneurs are trying to help you with that by clearing the shelves at your local and on-line stores. You call these guys bad names and you ask that we shun them and penalize them?  But they are doing it completely selflessly and for the greater good only, FFS! So that you can accept the real solution that has been staring you in your face all this time - only 1G out of the 5G's from your local gau-shala. The gau-mutra is reputed to be naturally available in abundance on the FF. It is the most potent germicidal known to mankind.  Vouched for by eighty four lakh gods.  The only known cure.  Scoff all you want at such ancient remedies.  All the phoren travelers, their smartphones and social media forums need to be sprinkled with this powerful panacea to eliminate any info-demic spread.  

As a backup, the second solution is Get it On, Bang A Gong, Get it On. We clapped and used Bluetooth speakers to add to the normal cacophony on the FF, applauding the front line caregivers dealing with BBB.  Kudos, Thumbs Up, Folded Hand emoji and High Fives all around! But FF denizens have discovered the hidden and ancient scientific ways that this Bang A Gong could destroy the BBB info-demic infestation. 

There is ample and convincing evidence in video games about the speed and efficiency of Sonic the Hedgehog to annihilate and crush the enemy. Ultrasonic, Supersonic, Infrasonic energy waves - No, Nein, Nada, you say? You feckless, ignorant, un-believer.  Go back and read your scriptures again.  What about naada, you ignoramus?  Our ancient literature is full of scientific facts about an-hada naada, meghnaada and other naada power references. The science handed to us by our ancestors, we discarded it like yesterday's newspaper. We were warned about the destructive power of acoustics by our parents! "Don't listen to that rock’n’roll too loud?"   Lost our hearing, eh?  And our moral bearings along the way, eh? 

With this power, you grab a hold of that BBB by its tail and shake it at its resonant frequency. A total arta-naada from BBB. It will break apart, spilling its guts like a common pick-pocket in front of the havildar. So crank up your sound systems now!

As the bard (not Cacofonix, the other bard) famously said about info-demics:

It is a tale,
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, folks!
