That sounds pretty scientific. Does anybody have a (citable) reference or scientific publication where this was published? Would like to read more about it.

Well, now I know what's going on if the real world starts looking like that. And I bet it will sound like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VsmF9m_Nt8

Follow up tweet by same person: "Wow this blew up check out " Please don't support this type of virality and profiteering. It's disgusting.

The weird thing is that the url they use (for the sake of future readers, cvspharmacy.com ) is a broken site that just gives an error message, and has done so for a long time if the Wayback Machine is to be believed. Yet it at one point linked to the real CVS site.

Presumably I've just been whooshed.
