    @CStamp @futurebird It's a magnetic bracelet for the Rona era. Mostly scam, but also basically a harmless bit of tat that makes people feel happy.

    @count_01 @CStamp @futurebird Some people just are wired that way. This product is like... "Ok... you wanna comply with your brain wiring? Now you can without people staring at you for believing in something that lacks scientific consense."

      There aren't any common waves that could hurt your brain.

      BUT

      If you want to know about something invisible, that most people don't know about that can impact your health in persistent mild but still bad ways? Look up "infrasound" --

      @futurebird @oldclumsy_nowmad @muddle RF *can* hurt you if its high enough power, but that’s generally limited to labs and microwave ovens, not what’s emitted by cell phones

      …or anywhere outdoors. you might get a sunburn

        @helvick @futurebird I got it from ARSE. Not sure if they’re selling them right now, but they’ve always got fun things. (I like to buy their refrigerator magnets to surreptitiously leave on my friends’ refrigerators and see how long it takes them to notice.)

          I'm interested in noise pollution and light pollution. Light pollution is horrible for insects. (and birds) Noise pollution is bad for people.

          We could have less loud, dark at night (but still safe) cities and towns.

          Me, too. I worry a lot about the impacts our light and noise have on birds and insects. Not to mention pesticides, wildfires, "produced water", and structures (windows, guy wires, turbines) etc. Makes me sick to think about what we're doing to this wonderful living World.

            The real "wavestopper" that will protect your brain is a robust ad blocker, and get off of facebook.

            If I say that ads give out brainrot waves would people be more excited about this?

              You mean like... somehow keeping it from getting out of the hat and spreading? Like it's a brainrot containment hat?

              hmm?

              I think one would need some kind of noise canceling face mask to do that.

                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.)

                @futurebird sometimes with this sort of thing, my morbid curiosity gets the best of me and i need to know who exactly is behind things — especially when their website has no ‘about us’ type info at all. this interview response from one of their founders (arthur de calenge; the company was formerly called lambs) cracked me up — people are claimed to be noticing positive changes via ~wireless devices that are literally as close to their bodies as possible~

                  @futurebird I love it is certified to "Military Standards". I looked up IEEE-299, and it applies to enclosures larger than 2 m. The relevant standard for small enclosures is IEEE-299.1.

                    @futurebird

                    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.

                      Do you think the people selling this are laughing at their customers or are they into it?

                      It's like a damn joke.

                          @sam @futurebird It's entirely likely that their conductive fabric supplier provided them with some kind of datasheet that did have those words on it ... above a table of measurements they didn't understand.

                                @futurebird @oldclumsy_nowmad @Anke @muddle noise pollution is terrible for birds and other animals too. Fuck fireworks in particular.
                                And it's not just an effect at the time, it's long-lasting disruption for them.

                                      Ignoring the ethics of taking advantage of gullible people, I'm not sure this isn't just a brilliant bit of marketing.

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

                                        @futurebird False advertising. With a beanie the WiFi and 5G can just go up your nose instead.

                                          I don't think these things are harmless because they are a symptom of people not getting real help, and because it's a rip off.

                                          I don't think it should be so easy to make money telling lies and ripping people off with false medical claims.
