I 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.

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.

Hah. What the MIT folks didn't realize is that by FOCUSING THE RADIO WAVES your brain becomes MORE POWERFUL!

@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!
