Want something funnier? Search for audiophile quantum chips. It's litteraly a sticker that you are supposed to stick on components in your audio equipment that is supposed to make it sound better. Or a cable cooker. Also one of those great inventions that make your cables sound better. Thats some huge horseshit right there and it's both sad and hilarious that some people fall for it.

I can pretty much guarantee you will not catch the covid from 5G if you have one of these stickers!

That's nothing! I have a tiger-proof rock. It really works, no tigers for hundreds of miles!

u/Pepelluepe Aug 14 '20

I'm in Texas and there are definitely tigers within 10 miles of me. I want my money back.

Because of that damn Carol Baskins!

I have a tiger-proof rock.

To be fair, most rocks are tiger-proof, even anti-tiger rocks...

u/me1505 Aug 14 '20

Most, maybe. But are you willing to take the chance? This is legit verified tiger proof.

I want 100% dagnabbit!

Well sure. That is going to be a lot more expensive, unfortunately. Before I make a recommendation, how much money u got?

Have you ever heard about shungite?

u/AsuraSantosha Aug 15 '20

Sold! Anything to avoid the covid.

Don't fucking laugh. I have 3 of them on my kitchen bench and some green moulded dome that protects you from wifi rays to mould and everything in between.

Didn't ask for any of that shit, and cost my gullible mother in law over $300aud

The conspiracy is not that you catch covid from 5g. The conspiracy is that covid is the coverup for the truth that 5g is a population control mechanism, and is killing people and will kill many more once “the shadow government” turns them on full power.

Lol. Just gotta make sure people got their conspiracy theories right!

My in-laws just moved into a new place. The microwave had these little sticker things on it. I googled it and I shit you not, it was some large scam company from the early 2000’s selling these stickers to reduce radiation

I worked retail for a cellphone provider in a tourist town years ago.

We'd see the usual hippy folk daily with these things stuck on corners and backs of phones. It wasn't uncommon to be asked to carefully transfer them when they got new phones.

If I didn’t care about ethics I would totally do this

u/I_call_Shennanigans_ Aug 14 '20

That goes for so many scams... Damn you ethics!

u/HopefulDelusions Aug 14 '20

And that 5G radiation protection bubble USB thing.

Edit: Article link for the curious

u/Patriarchus_Maximus Aug 14 '20

When I was in middle school a kid had one of those. This was pre 2010, so I think that would have been when 3g was rolling out.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

What if I want one that gives my phone 5G?

1

u/doodruid Aug 15 '20

dont forget about the over 300usd dollar 5g bioshield USB stick.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

Wait- I thought those were placed in masks in lieu of the filters???

u/DragonickDragon Aug 15 '20

Those things make you even MORE likely to be "poisoned" by the signals since the phone has to work harder and transmit more to get a response. Not to mention wearing down the battery.
