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

@futurebird Perfect gift for one of my neighbors. If she sees someone with a cell-phone she literally runs in the other direction. I don't have the heart to tell her when she's petting my cat that he's wearing an AirTag. If the hat were $8 rather than $88 I might buy it for her.

@futurebird

I wonder if the name "Havn" is a take on the "Havana syndrome" thing where Russia or whoever has been attacking US government employees, diplomats, etc. with an unknown weapon that uses some kind of radio waves (supposedly the CIA has now obtained one and is analyzing it, per 60 Minutes)

Maybe they're hoping some kind of subliminal messaging on a word people have vaguely heard in this context before will boost sales.

I always travel with my bull elephant, Stompie. He's irritated by socially improper infrasound sources, so if there's anyone zapping me I can tell. Can't necessarily tell who they were, after he's done with them.

@futurebird At some freqencies finfoil hats seems to actually amplify the signal

@leadore

Now this I buy more than the 88 having a meaning in this case. (88 can be a dogwhistle... I just don't think it is this time?)

@futurebird ads genuinely cause palpable constant psychic damage and the capitalists are making it harder and harder to avoid it. every billboard i see makes me wish i had a rocket launcher

@futurebird Btw you can get the fabric off Ali for much cheaper. Not silver tho (neither is this I bet), but will stop 100% waves lol. Could be used as a hat I guess (intended for shielding electronics, but for the poor droids among us...).

...and reading the replies, someone pointed out that it might come in handy for emergency phone hiding.

[leadore@sunny.garden]

@futurebird
Oh... I didn't even notice the 88 thing. I could see that also being deliberate, knowing their probable targets.

[elight@tenforward.social]

@MossyQuartz oh! You use a different kind of mind control hat?????

[oldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.social]

@anke @futurebird @muddle

Very interesting. Something I hadn't looked into before, but relevant these days. Thanks for flagging it.

[helvick@mastodon.ie]

@josh0 @futurebird

Now I really want one of those.

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.

@futurebird if a faraday’s cage is not grounded it can end up amplifying the signal #funfacts

@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."

@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

[josh0@babka.social]

@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.)

@futurebird @anke @muddle

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.
