Last time this was posted, it was proven that the original post is satire. She posts random jokes on her insta, that tweet just took a screenshot and made a rage bait.

It does look like the aluminum foil you can get at the Costco food court, and this does look like Costco. Makes for a free Faraday Cage for your phone tho.

Charles McGill would scoff that she thinks this is enough to really protect her from electromagnetism.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Well there EMF sensitivity and there's mind control. Two separate threat models

Had her soul stolen by a camera though smh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

She forgot the aluminum chest plate?

There's a paper published somewhere on the effectiveness of tin foil hats. It turned out that "traditional" designs actually acted to focus RF energy onto the brain.

It's been years since I saw the paper, unfortunately, so I don't have a link to hand.

big business replaced our pure and effective tinfoil with aluminum to stop us from protecting our brains

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The open end of this hat makes it a resonator not a faraday cage. She needs a full suit to keep out em waves. This is more akin to bird plumage that puts her particular brand of crazy on full display.

Doesn’t the POV imply that the person who isn’t mind controlled is the camera? So the aluminum foil-hat crazy IS BEING MIND CONTROLLED!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

POV doesn't have a meaning, it's just one of those artifacts that's been around for so long that we've lost the knowledge. One day we may discover its meaning but for now it's like the pyramids or those memes that start with "Nobody:"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Point of view? Is this a joke?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's point of view about this video? I don't think I buy this suggestion

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You wrote POV has no meaning. But it stands for point-of-view.

I was asking if it was a joke that you wrote that it has no meaning.

That said the joke of OP doesn't work because it is not a POV.

Why not just line a baseball cap or wizard hat or something? Foil is pretty delicate by itself anyway.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It’s not about the utility of it (which is literally zero), it’s about making the statement.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Because it's not about blocking mind control. It's about showing others that you know "more" than they do.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'd imagine the wizard hat does that much better though, he could know Spawn Calling or some shit.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I put on my wizard hat and my robe...

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Me when I use Free and Open Source Software.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How people see me when I say I don't use whatsapp, instagram, facebook, twitter or google.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Or reddit, snapchat, apple

Mind waves specifically designed for adults of course

Like COVID can't get past borders

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

5G was designed for adults; kids only get like 2G so they only receive SMS or, if fortunate MMS with some cool tunes.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Okay the foil hat I get, but what's with that ugly yellow getup?

I agree clothes-shaming is more than a little weird but that shade of yellow is not her color. At least according the tones in this photo. I'd tell her to go for something more pastel if she's horny for yellow.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Hm. Agree to disagree. Pastel would not be that visible, but maybe I just have a weird taste.

It's from the Dwight Shrute summer collection. The fabric is made from woven beet fibers then dyed mustard yellow.
