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

@david_chisnall @futurebird Well that's just the kind of thing Big 5G would say

@futurebird
...that price tag should be a dead giveaway as to their target demographic.

@futurebird I prefer my brain shields in purple

@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.

@oldclumsy_nowmad @Anke @muddle

I wonder if one could channel the feeling many people have that "the world is slowly killing me somehow" into things like insisting that new highways don't send horrible rumbling sounds into surrounding neighborhoods?

But CO2 is also invisible and no one wants to care about that...

@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.

@futurebird as a brainfog haver, we wish people would just wear a fucking mask.

[oldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.social]

@futurebird @anke @muddle

Good thoughts. There's so much of that sort that ought to be done. But right now, it seems that putting out the human societal bonfire is about all we can do.

@futurebird

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

[thestrangelet@beige.party]

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

@futurebird @CStamp real healthcare is too expensive but quack stuff is affordable

[cstamp@mastodon.social]

@fluffykittycat @futurebird That wackadoodle stuff isn't contained to the US.

@clayfoot @futurebird finally

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@CStamp @fluffykittycat

True. But I think it's resurgent at the moment. I'd love to see a false advertising crackdown.

These people are fearless.

[oldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.social]

@futurebird @anke @muddle

Please excuse my gloomy response. I don't want to discourage anyone from working to improve things for the natural world and for ourselves. Big wins seem very unlikely for the moment, but we can still be laying foundations for making things better, and supporting others to help out. Thanks for your efforts!

@clayfoot

Is this to keep something out... or is it to keep something *in* ?

[emma@orbital.horse]

@thestrangelet @futurebird you gotta wrap your neithers in tin foil otherwise the Bluetooth will trans you.

[ogjester@pnw.zone]

@futurebird they landed on a price of $88? Weird how that number keeps coming up with these people… /s

[ggmcbg@mstdn.plus]

@futurebird

If I was just a skosh more evil I'd be selling all kinds of geegaws and doodads to the superstitious New-age Dark Age dipshits.
