Reply to TIL that in Chinese Folk Religion, a mortal human being could ascend into godhood not through the decisions of a clergy/church, but by the sheer number of people who believe that their extraordinary achievements led to apotheosis, which forced Confucian/Taoists clerics to canonize a person as a God. by Khysamgathys

Reply to TIL SonoPrep is a method of painless drug administration through human skin by rendering the skin permeable to fluids via the use of ultrasonic wave. The skin goes back to its normal state within 24 hours. by ThichXemHen
