Lol don't tell them about all the radio frequencies around them all the time

[–] aleph@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Or the EMF generators they carry around with them in their pockets, A.K.A their phones.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Which ironically, would also have less emf if they allowed the tower to be built, as is they'll have higher emf and less battery life, since the radios will have to transmit at a higher power to get a good enough snr to next closest tower in their cell.

Lol yeah, the things that are actually emitting half of every back-and-forth radio communication between a device and a cell tower

Tell them how much power the TV and radio broadcast towers put out and watch them freak out. The analog TV stations ran even higher power than the digital ones do now.

I wonder what they must think of telecommunication satellites.

The space rays are making me sick!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

TBF, space rays make a lot of people sick. Skin cancer from UV rays.

Those must be the Jewish space lasers Dipshit was talking about.

Do you remember when people started selling faraday cages to "safeguard" people's routers? So funny lol

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Mad lads out there.

A buddy of mine had this idea for an anti-ghost device we could make and sell. It spins, lights up, has random ancient writing on it, vibrates, and makes a small amount of radio distortion on the AM band for a second to let you know it's working.

Been considering it.

Wait ‘til they learn what the sun is putting out.

They're beaming electromagnetic waves into your eyes, man!
