oh great, even more ways for the cia to hide their cancer guns

Edit: Apparently that wasn’t obvious enough. This is really cool.

You clearly don’t do conspiracy well, do you?

It’s common knowledge that 5G is not for cancer. It’s for the mind controlling chips we all got installed with our COVID shot! Duh!!

/s (just in case)

lime@feddit.nu on 23 Sep 2024 11:37 next collapse

it can be both; the microchips are from private interests, the cancer is from the state.

I got so many microchips in my blood. I’m 🧲.

I got wireless charging from the vaccine! Too bad it only works where there’s lots of blood circulation, so it only works when I’m erect.

Yeah it was 3G that gave brain cancer.

Tin foil on your balls or labia will stop 5G from entering your brain. If all else fails, try rectal carrots. They have cyanidin 3-ferulylxyloglucosyl galactoside which block receptors in the soul from receiving 410 MHz to 7125 MHz frequencies.

recital carrots

And I suddenly really want to play piano

recital carrots

I don’t know why, but I read this as “rectal carrots”. Like some sort of a carrot suppository.

Brb, I’m gonna try something…

Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de on 23 Sep 2024 16:17 collapse

Lol i actually meant that. I don’t use autocorrect and proofreading is sorry missed.

That’s hilarious. The Lemmy hive mind is definitely forming.

Rectal carrots are great even without the privacy benefits

What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?

floofloof@lemmy.ca on 23 Sep 2024 14:35 next collapse

5G has some security improvements, making it harder to track and spoof people’s phones. It also supposedly offers lower latencies.

sunzu2@thebrainbin.org on 23 Sep 2024 14:39 next collapse

Is this improvement enough to justify massive expense taxpayers incurred to fund telcos CapEx?

weew@lemmy.ca on 23 Sep 2024 15:55 collapse

It also reuses old 2G/3G bands to allow much much higher throughput and therefore more customers per band

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 23 Sep 2024 18:44 collapse

Well, actually, 5G was weakened so they could still spy.

raldone01@lemmy.world on 24 Sep 2024 00:12 collapse

Can you provide some sources that support this claim?

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml on 24 Sep 2024 10:52 collapse

Weird, there was a huge hubub in german tech news at that time but now i only find hints and references, like how secret services were part of the boards, etc., while englisch terms search only spits garbage.

Well, here’s about weaknesses in 5G, like downgrade & stingray attaks etc.

And (german) about the boards, that maybe end-to-end in 6G.

What is the actual benefit of 5g besides draining phone battery faster than LTE?

Midband 5G seriously outperforms LTE in my experience. And as radios have matured battery drain has gotten significantly better (which is exactly what happened with LTE radios when we all left HSPA+ behind).

When I had an older 5G phone without midband signal and an early radio, I just left the 5G off. But now I get annoyed if I only have LTE.

I get ~800Mbps download speed on 5g at home. Maybe your area just didn’t invest in 5g all that much?

Useless, we all got the embedded 5g base station with the vaccine

Works great, i always have 5 bars

I think mine interacts with the microplastics in my balls, cell reception is always better when I get morning wood.
