There's actually a very simple reason for this phenomenon. A standard spring mattress essentially acts like a giant mirror, reflecting all sorts of radio waves, including your cellular signal. This can cause interference, leading to a dead zone in the near vicinity. The same effect was documented back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I just had to scan your post history just to see.... maybe.... naw. Damnit.
That’s the biggest thing I miss about Reddit. The random users we all knew that formed a collective meme.
God damn it
Be right back, I need some jumper cables to beat this person within an inch of their life with.
Daddy chill
Damn it, got me good lol - completely forgot all about this when leaving reddit, thank you for this
YESSSSSSS I was missing that so much! Thank you for bringing that back lmao I was not expecting it at all.
Who uses their phone data at home?
I assume countries that have affordable data plans from ISPs, but still..
I would say Germany, but our mobile data is even more overpriced.
Our mobile data is the biggest scam that exists on this earth. A handful of gigabytes for 10s of €s per month.
The highest IQ people will say "Well it doesn't have to be more than a few gigabytes, you got wifi at home anyways, I barely reach the mobile data limit", well it doesn't have to be 10s of €s for a handful of gigabytes either/anyways.
And coverage outside has always been between "Barely alright" and "Dogshit non-existent" too, doesn't matter if you're in a city, around a city or on a street between cities, especially on the streets though you're lucky if you can fucking "ping -c 4 google.com" with package loss.
For it's the cheap cheap price of 22.4€/person for 20 GB 5G per person. And that's just because my father has been a customer for a long time and I'm a second device in his contract now, with 50% off. I also reach the 20 GB limit fairly often, especially when on the go a lot. Because Deutsche Bahn. F them. Not even a working Captive Portal is possible for them, so my Laptop has to connect to my Phones Hotspot. I'm in luck with coverage actually, it's pretty OK even in my village and all around. It's just bad in my school.
Is there something specific about Germany where people don't use or have WiFi?
Estonia requires Internet to be a good place to live with out it it's not bad and not good
Eh, I pay 15 Euro a month for unlimited data at 15 Mbps
Big parts of Europe has. I pay about €17 for unlimited 5G.
I have wifi at home of course but I still mostly use cellular cus it's faster lol
My wifi doesn't reach my bedroom. Really should fix it.
Accurate cause 5g is nowhere to be found
I can get 5G in small villages and towns even. So I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't have wifi at home?
i dont...
The bathroom stall at work gets 0 bars.
Would be funny if they'd built a Faraday cage around the bathroom to stop people sitting on the toilet on their phones for ages
You can't stop me, I have WarioWare on my GBA emulator on my phone!

That plus those seats designed to put strain on your legs would be a 0/10 pooping experience. The only way I could think to make it worse is if you could find a way to send an all-hands message in Slack: "567primemover has been on the toilet for more than 7 minutes. Send him a word of encouragement!"
I'd make a scoreboard out of it, competitive shutting for both high and low scores
Make sure the toilet is too tall for most people too.
Don't give them any fucking ideas
Newpaper
Hasn't that been done before? Maybe not Faraday cages but jammers or something, I swear I remember something like that.
E, which stands for EDGE, is also "2G".
It's edgier 2G for an edgier generation.
Yes, but GPRS is also 2g, but almost half the speed of edge.
How dare you "um, akhtually" me on my "um, akhtually"?!
Yeah but its faster than just regular 2g. You can load not ridiculously sized images on edge. On 2g? Enjoy your wait.
Been years since I've seen this meme.
For me it's the opposite. I don't get usable mobile signal in most of my house, to the point that our phones are set up with wifi calling, and if the internet goes down (like it did for 45 minutes the other day) there's not much I can do. But if I lie down comfortably on my bed, I get a usable two bars of 4G, enough to make calls and do a bit of internet browsing.
e = ethernet now
Wireless carrier wants you to get out of bed and scroll at the goddamn kitchen table
What, like I'm in a commercial?
Accurate
And this meme can be easily updated by putting one single "5G" next to the left-hand leg of the bedframe and nowhere else
