I can confirm that they actually taste like salt.

No shit retard, its salt

I like them

this

They cool

Why would putting a light bulb to salt do anything. Think about it.

They create a warm, red light that's pleasant on the eyes at night time.

Theyre neat to look at

If someone have this at their home,
and it doesn't match their furniture and interior design at all,
i would assume that the person is either
>retarded for believing it
or
>Have friends/family that sell those bullshits

The 2nd one. Also if it was gifted to them which was probably a regift

They likely do something. My brother has one, and a bunch of coins near by got fucked up.

Cool

The claim is that they produce ions that are supposed to be beneficial.

Truth is, ions don't have the claimed health benefits, and even if they did, these lamps don't actually produce any.

So they're really just a pleasant-looking light, and that's it.

Ive had one for years... it makes the air inside smell less stale and gives the house a “fresher” effect.

I noticed this when i was gifted one and figured it was some new age shit. But now i feel its true. I really enjoy mine.

Mom gave me and both of my bros one while she was going thru “the phase” and I love the thing. It’s a great night light and getting someone to lick my lamp is almost as good as getting someone to lick my balls

I don't think they are horrifically ugly. They seem cheap enough and if they match the general vibe/design of your home you could do worse I guess? I'd buy one because my house is a cluster fuck of old furniture, bookcases, books, shelves, pets, projects and multi coloured shit so it'd be right at home. If though your house is a modern minimalist masterpiece and you get one of these I'm going to assume it is because you believe in the ions or something and I'm going to think you are a bit stupid. Ions aside though it will attract moisture from the air and I can imagine them getting a bit sticky? I don't know how I'd feel about a sticky lamp which wicks water designed and built by indians in my already firetrap house.

They don’t get sticky if you leave them on. But if you turn them off and on they will leave a sticky salt deposit around their base

I'd also be pretty irritated by them because to get warm they are going to have to use some classic incandescent bulbs. They are probably a weird type and shape because whoever makes them likely uses a fallout crafting station and if they are left on all the time ... I'm looking at a bulb a year easy, like a 30-60W halogen in a weird shape $3-4 maybe per bulb ... don't really need .. what ? 1.5kWh per day? I've got a $70 per year running cost?

I've a decent 380W dehumidifier with carbon filtration which runs approx 1 minute in 10 to keep the house 'fresh'. I costs me a lot less and I can imagine is much more effective.

Lmao

wait, are these claimed to do something pseudoscientific? I always thought they were kind of cool but I never knew they were a "magic" thing.

You think that's bad, my mom won't shut the fuck up about Himalayan Salt therapy, where she spends $85 to have some old Mountain Gook rub pink colored table salt on her. She claims she feels better but the bitch still can't walk so I dont get it.

Placebo effect you moron.

Delicious salt

There's a veritasium video on it

I bought one just to suck.

very bullshit, my roommate bought one because he thought they looked cool but they trap moisture and can be an electrical hazard because of that

Looks like chicken nugget. i have no quarrels
