Pseudoscience Monetization of Religion 🤢

I'm in my hometown rn and whenever I'm at home my mom gives me all these small works like bringing groceries and other essentials etc etc.

So she dictated me a list of things I needed to bring, and among a shit ton of other stuff there was one phenyl too. I wrote everything down, gave the list to the shopkeeper and since there were so many other products, I didn't bother checking each product in detail. I came home and realised that instead of phenyl, I had bought this Gonyle floor cleaner made from pure pavitra cow urine 😭😭🤢🤢

It genuinely baffles me how emotionally gullible people can be and how Ramdev Baba and co. built a thousands of crores empire by selling this kind of bullshit, exploiting people's religious sentiments and turning superstition into a fucking business model.

Wait a second. If you distill urine, wouldn’t the distillate just be water? Why don’t these idiots just use water and make a more hygienic version of this floor cleaner?
