    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.)

    RE: https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/116342201450394205

    Now, I'm not in favor of spam / scam callers...

    But, I somehow feel less bad about the idea of someone selling snake oil brand snake oil clearly labeling the contents as snake oil (even if there are some outlandish claims) and letting fools and their money be parted?

      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.

      Light pollution is bad for plants as well. Let’s see if I can find that link.

        @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...

        @SamanthaJaneSmith @futurebird the shielding is there so you don't cook yourself at all. without it, you would need to stand dozens of metres away to operate the microwave.

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

          It's like a damn joke.

          @futurebird They're selling it for $88? If they're not laughing, they're seig heiling at trump rallies.

            @adrake @futurebird @oldclumsy_nowmad ah, I misread what you said about 99.7% initially. I didn't realise you were talking about the hat. So I guess I overestimated the effectiveness of the shielding and, hence, also overestimated the leakage

            I also did look up some more reputable info on max wireless tx power and was surprised to find that in some countries it can even go up to 4W (which tallies with what you said):

            Wolph (w.wol.ph)

            Taken together, wifi and ovens seem to be roughly comparable rather than there being the orders-of-magnitude differences that I expected (with ovens emitting more radiation).

            Thanks for the correction. I guess I'll have to retire my "but microwaves leak more energy" argument when dealing with (literal) tinfoil hatters...

            @muddle @futurebird @oldclumsy_nowmad I think it's not accidental that they're comparable. Both are expected to be used by the general population with no safety training, so both should have limits that are safe under most circumstances.

            Licensed users have different rules. Amateur radio operators are licensed to transmit at up to 1500W (!) on most of the 2.4GHz band, but they take on the legal burden of ensuring that whatever they do doesn't expose others to unsafe levels of emissions.

              Sounds like a scam.
              Everyone knows that the microchips in Bill Gates' Covid vaccine are distributed through the whole body.

                @futurebird When it reads "from your brain" it means to stop the WiFi and Bluetooth emissions coming from your brain?

                                      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" --

                                        @alice @futurebird Sorry, I meant to @ the people this ad is targeting. Joe only agrees to jump into a volcano because a billionaire pays his doctor to tell him he has a terminal “brain cloud”

                                          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.)
