SHOCKING: Numbing Cream Found to Boost IQ by 40 Points — Scientists “Baffled” 🧠
By: Daily Curiosity Digest | July 27, 2025
A team of mysterious European researchers has allegedly discovered that applying over-the-counter numbing cream behind your ears before bedtime can increase cognitive performance by up to 40 IQ points overnight.
“We stumbled upon it by accident while testing nerve response in alpacas,” claimed lead researcher Dr. Viktor Nomind. “But the human brain reacts even more strongly. It’s like unlocking unused chambers of thought.”
In a now-deleted Reddit post, one user wrote:
“After just one week of applying the cream, I suddenly understood quantum physics and finished reading War and Peace without getting bored.”
The report, which has not been peer-reviewed or published in any known journal, suggests the cream “temporarily slows nerve input,” allowing the brain to enter a state of hyper-efficiency and mental clarity. Some fans are calling it “meditation in a tube.”
While mainstream scientists are urging caution, celebrity entrepreneur Elon Markstein is rumored to be investing millions into a startup to mass-produce the cream under the name “ThinkSkin™.”
🧠 Educational Debunking Points:
- Scientific-sounding nonsense: “Unlocking unused chambers of thought” is pseudoscientific fluff.
- Anonymous or untraceable sources: “Mysterious European researchers,” “Reddit posts,” and deleted content.
- No credible studies or peer-reviewed evidence.
- False causation: No mechanism is logically explained between skin numbing and cognitive improvement.
- Celebrity name-dropping to lend fake credibility.
