myrmepropagandistI went on Facebook (I know I know I know) and they are selling tinfoil hats.
The "Wavestopper" costs $88 Free Shipping!
(I checked. It is not an April Fools joke. Selling to people with "brain fog" feels a little predatory to me.)
Do you think the people selling this are laughing at their customers or are they into it?
It's like a damn joke.
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Around 25 years ago, there was a not-very-serious paper from MIT that pointed out that tinfoil hats are basically parabolic reflectors and so, rather than keeping out rays, they will focus them on the brain.
Possibly worth sharing with people who might buy this nonsense.
lemgandiHah. What the MIT folks didn't realize is that by FOCUSING THE RADIO WAVES your brain becomes MORE POWERFUL!
groxx@lemgandi @david_chisnall @futurebird I'm sure they're aware - the parabolic antenna that the hat makes is aimed down, increasing your reception of the Earth's healing Schumann resonance waves. It's like dial-up for the collective unconscious (slower access is healthier, it's low glycemic index information and the opposite of unhealthy 5G).
Luna Lactea@lemgandi @david_chisnall @futurebird You still use a cellphone to make long distance calls? So old fashioned! I use my parabolic reflecting foil hat to focus radio waves into my hypothalamus, allowing me to receive & transmit radio communications for miles!
gentle colossus@david_chisnall @futurebird given the price and material used, guessing they're doing* a mini Faraday cage? while a silly thing to put on one's head, it'd be a great for - random example - tossing your phone inside during a protest
(*gesturing towards uselessly in its intended role as a hat)
A Faraday Cage needs to be completely enclosed. Most people regard placing metal all of the way through their necks unfavourably.
Getting a metal mesh implanted below my brain so I can get full coverage.
