    This is a dumb one, but I’ve watched ASMR reiki videos for stress-relief and at least one has said words like “Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique which blah blab blah” Yeah… It was made up in the 50’s by some dude.

      If reiki(dot)org, which claims to be the international center for this malarkey training is true, they apparently say some different forms of it were around in the 1910s, but I saw absolutely nothing about it being ancient.

        Why did you spell that with a “(dot)” and then include an actual link? The reason people use (dot) or (at) is when they don’t want software to automatically see something as a link or an email address, and yet you intentionally added a link.

          Because I am an idiot on some form of autopilot. I never type full links in comments but I definitely wasn’t thinking when I did that this time.
