UK water firms admit using divining rods to find leaks and pipes (2017)
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoThis calls for a "I'm not even mad, that's amazing." meme. It really just shows how deep superstitions can go. Even the company that defended it clearly knew it wasn't an effective method: "Hi Sally, sorry about the delay. Some of our techs do on occasion use dowsing rods however, we also have access to a wider range of accurate technology, which most techs find preferable"
