And if they end up with skin cancer or whatever side effect, that will just be evidence that they were being targeted, “…and just imagine how bad it would’ve gotten if I hadn’t been wearing my pendant!”

The public service of killing their own people seems to be really catching on with the GQP’ers. I’m go’n sit back and see how this ends.

So, wait. People are concerned about the non-ionizing radiation of “5G” signals and are totally cool with putting radioactive material on their bodies to to somehow “protect” themselves? Seems legit.

You know what also protects you from so-called 5G signals? Air. There’s a reason that the really fast 5G (called “mmWave” in marketing parlance) has such a limited range.

Maybe these Qnuts should learn about Q factors.

Mark, stahp!

Unlike so many of the Qnut conspiracies, this one might actually have a positive outcome. For the rest of us, at least.

But it’s homeopathic radiation.

A new market for anti-anti-5G protective bags just opened up.

This is the first instance I’ve read about where this was literally true.

Unfortunately they’re the most devoted to things that’ll kill all the rest of us, too.

What do you want, radiation-induced cancer or a win for the Libs? And how could these possibly work without at least a bit of radiation? Or maybe some good contact neurotoxin…

It brings to mind a 1920 nostrum called RadiThor which contained nothing but radium dissolved in water. To quote an online source which you can hunt up yourself: “Its manufacturer claimed the drink not only provided energy but also cured a host of ailments, including impotence. Evidence for a sexual benefit to humans was lacking, but at least one scientific paper claimed that radium water could increase “the sexual passion of water newts.” For many men, in this pre-Viagra era, the water newt evidence was enough. RadiThor was a big seller.”

To be fair, 5G literally cannot affect you if you are already dead. /s

I am thankful, every now and then, to my younger self for showing a rare moment of self-preservation and NOT wearing a trinitite pendant for twenty years…

Saw a shedload of these for sale on ebay years and years ago, loooong before the 5G/qnut crap. They were just being sold as “negative ion generators,” without all the extra conspiracy idiocy woo what came later. Chinese sellers had 'em for less than half what US sellers asked. I thought they looked cool, and I’m V glad I never bought one.
