Because the World Needs a Gold-Plated Hotel Right Now
With everything that’s going on in the world right now, somebody figured there’s one thing that would make us all feel better – and that’s a new 6-star hotel in Hanoi, Vietnam, complete with a 24K-gold-plated exterior and interior. No kidding. After over a decade of development, the Hanoi Golden Lake hotel is on schedule to be completed by the end of this year and the building is already attracting attention because of its unusual decor. The hotel is completely covered in Japanese-imported ceramic tiles infused with real 24K gold, and according to developers, patrons can expect more glorious gold decor on the inside as well. According to Hoa Binh Group, the company behind the project, this is the first hotel in the world to have both the exterior and interior covered in 24K gold. Apart from the gilded exterior, it has a gold-plated lobby, as well as gold-plated furniture, sink, bathtub as well as a series of decorations and accessories covered in 24K gold. Amazingly, it won’t be as expensive as you might think. As a US dollar goes a lot further in Vietnam these days, you can stay at the Hanoi Golden Lake hotel for about $250 per night.?Heck – that’s less than we pay for a basic Hilton room on the beach in July!

There Truly is a Sucker Born Every Minute
Turns out P.T. Barnum was right – there truly is a sucker born every minute. The latest proof is that people are apparently paying hundreds of dollars for something called 5GBioShield – described as “the result of the most advanced technology currently available for balancing and prevention of the devastating effects caused by non-natural electric waves, particularly (but not limited to) 5G, for all biological life forms.” The truth is it is nothing more than a standard 128MB USB stick but it is described as a “USB key” which allegedly “provides protection for your home and family, thanks to the wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser, which can be worn or placed near to a smartphone or any other electrical, radiation or EMF [electromagnetic field] emitting device.” So how does this super-advanced device protect you? Well, you just have to buy it and enjoy its protection. The manufacturer says: “It is always ON and working-that’s why we used quantum nano-layer technology.” They also claim that plugging it into a USB port only expands the field effect from 4-meter radius to over 20 meters. It’s being sold in the UK for $350 a pop and people are actually buying it. Stephen Knight, operations director for London Trading Standards told the BBC, “We consider it to be a scam. People who are vulnerable need protection from this kind of unscrupulous trading.”?(Oddity Central)
