My partner linked protection to the lunar calendar, saying it's safe during the full moon; what am I supposed to laugh at here?

Someone I recently talked to seriously said, “It will be safe for a few days after the full moon.” At first, I thought it was a joke, but the guy looked up the moon phase on his phone. I said, “We can’t even speak definitively with a menstrual calendar, and you linked it to the sky!” He got upset and said, “You don’t understand the energy.” How do you respond to such ridiculous information?

I give every ridiculous statement a chance for a second, but this is on another level. The full moon can be romantic, but it can’t be a method of protection, girl. Let the moon look beautiful, let the pharmacist handle the job.

This needs to be corrected as clear misinformation. Protection cannot be based on moon phases. The calendar method is risky enough, and calculating based on the full moon is completely like an urban legend.

The phrase “you don’t understand energy” would make me hang up the phone immediately. The energy they’re talking about might be the energy of avoiding responsibility :joy:

Whether it’s a joke or serious is important. If it’s serious, it’s necessary to stop before getting closer. If they’re referring to a lunar calendar instead of science on such a fundamental issue, they might also mislead on other topics.

@hatconene if you stopped too, it really means things have gone crazy.

@yazipsildim I’m open to being cheesy, but I’m not open to the combination of egg-laying and full moon. It’s not that much.

They used to tell these things back in the day, like lemon, cola, hot water, and so on. It’s all the same bag. At least the young people shouldn’t believe in these :woman_shrugging:

There’s something to laugh about here, but there’s no trust to get close. The guy seems messed up too. People who give wrong information and throw tantrums are very exhausting.

Update: I sent the link, and they said, ‘you believe in Western medicine too much.’ I ended the conversation. Our paths diverged with the full moon.

@takvimkaristi It’s not Western medicine, it’s just plain logic. Breaking up during a full moon has also turned out to be a final, just like the headline.

Saying “Western medicine” is such a funny defense move. As if it’s a clash of worldviews, when the issue is simple biology. With this mindset, will every debate be determined by the cosmos? :slight_smile:
