I went on Facebook (I know I know I know) and they are selling tinfoil hats.

@futurebird it's a bit pricey but I'd quite like one.

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@futurebird Of course they sneak the number 88 in somehow. And what standards do they think exist for foil hats? What about radio waves coming from the opposite side of the hat? Marketing this kind of thing to defenseless idiots is more than just a little predatory!

@futurebird maybe if we enforced laws against medical devices without approval...

this is blatantly thumbing their nose at the law

it claims a medical effect. arrest them.

[rasterweb@mastodon.social]

@futurebird More frightening that someone is selling them is the fact that people are buying them!

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@AnnieBuddy @futurebird @CStamp Maybe something to do with hair dyeing. I think one of the methods for doing highlights or complete dyeing involves separating bunches of hair & wrapping them in foil to contain the dye as it soaks in so you can do other things while waiting on it.

However it also could have been foil hats. Kids are exposed to more anti knowledge propaganda now than they have ever been.

@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!

@futurebird @Scofisticated

the hat itself is fine. the reflective lining will keep your head warmer. it's the claims about blocking radio signals that are wrong. there is a bunch of stuff like this on fartbook. for a while i was getting relentless ads for these LED face masks that are claimed to serve some kind of cosmetic purpose, but it's a good bet they do absolutely nothing but make you look pretty unhinged.

@futurebird @oldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.social

probably something like this?

[burnitdown@beige.party]

@futurebird @oldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.social @muddle@infosec.exchange

it depends on the strength and type of signal, and how close you are to the source. an unshielded magnetron from a microwave oven will definitely cook you, including your brain. that's why there are warning signs to not stand in front of microwave radio dishes.

living next to a busy road is very stressful.

There are already hundreds of "brain fog" and "shortness of breath" and "fatigue" snake oils bc of the combination of widespread and surging LC and official/bipartisan minimizing of LC. ‍️

@burnitdown @futurebird Its also interesting that different parts of the body are affected differently by microwaves. One of the more vulnerable parts are the eyes. So don't watch the food cook...
