5g is extremely dangerous if you're 1 cm from the radio antenna.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Oh good lord...

[-] WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org 2 points 6 hours ago

5g and wifi are used for mass surveillance aren't they? But aren't they the ones using it?

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I won’t lie 5G kinda sucks because of its range, but banning WiFi will never happen.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 5 hours ago

The trick to having good radio coverage is decreasing the power and putting more antennas.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

These people are just the worst.

It's just like living in a version of hell where all the stupidest and most hateful people from your school experiences got voted into office, after they flunked out or only barely got their diploma/GED, and were then let loose for aimless decades into a world of hate radio, black helicopter culture, Faux News and "doing their own research" online.

That fucking brain worm starved to death.

Well he was going to heat up a meal, but RFK told him the radiation in the microwave was dangerous so he just gave up

Please, Republicans, ban wifi and cellphones! It's a winning move and oh so healthy, and both corporations and voters will be grateful. Do it!

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Best we can do is 3g and 56k

Sounds like we're getting back to BASICs

  • 10 print "hello world"
  • 20 goto 10

Can we please not use the terms 'conspiracy' and 'conspiracy theory' interchangeably?

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Even the term "conspiracy theory" is giving the cranks too much credit, especially since the very same set of idiots don't understand what a theory means in the scientific sense. For example, they'll say evolution is "only" a theory....sigh.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I don't even care anymore because of how fucked everything is.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

I really think this is the point of it all. A lot of these folks in power are accelerationists.

[-] SkyeStarfall 3 points 19 hours ago

But why the fuck would the rich be accelerationists?? They're already rich. They already won. Don't they want to try to keep the world around for as long as possible? They got everything to lose!

Do they really think that they will come unscathed out of, and live a better life, in a collapsed society?

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 5 hours ago

Lookup "Christian Fascism"

[-] AlfredoJohn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Because when shit burns you can scoop up the pieces for a discount, everytime we have had massive wars, economic crises, etc its the rich who make out like bandits and centralize power even more. When you have as much excess as they have they can burn a bit of it so things go on sale, if the us dollar loses half its value they are still billionaires and can buy up a lot more assets all the while the poor have become even worse off with no ability to get any assets.

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Yes apparently.

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 13 points 1 day ago

It sure would be terrible if this atavistic knuckle dragging neanderthal took another swim in raw sewerage and accepted its loving murky embrace forever.

Just terrible. I mean, the waterways are polluted enough as it is.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 3 points 5 hours ago

The coverage of that story was pathetic

The question shouldn't be "why is he swimming in a sewage-filled creek?"

The real question should be, "why isn't the municipality receiving a huge fine for dumping raw sewage into a creek?"

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 1 points 5 hours ago

That's an excellent point.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago

I don't think it would solve anything. There'd just be another knucklehead appointed with rubber-stamped approval from the GOP Senate. The voters are going to have to solve these problems. I'm not sure they're equipped to do it.

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 2 points 19 hours ago

A solution would be great, but if I can't have one I'll unhappily settle for catharsis.

Abra-maha-maga! It's not just baby-talk, it's also a spell the idiots are casting on one another....

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
