Someone did a study at MIT about tin foil hats, and found that not only do they not screen radio interference, in some cases, can actually magnify them.
Conclusion: The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These bands are supposedly reserved for ‘‘radio location’’ (ie, GPS), and other communications with satellites (see, for example, [3]). The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations. It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings.
Duh. Everybody knows the only thing that works is Velostat. You cannot use any other material.
I was all-in on that paragraph, but then the last statement rolled into vision, and now I can’t take it seriously again.
That is a genius conclusion.
So tinfoil hats are pushed by the mind-controllers, and those that are persuaded by this weak signal start wearing them to receive the signal more strongly and be mind-controlled more thoroughly
Exactly what the mind controllers want you to think. They want you to think they don’t work, but I know, I know the truth!
MIT is obviously is trying to trick us into removing our protection!
Correction: someone did a study at MIT about aluminum helmets, not tin foil hats. The important distinction being aluminum vs. tin.
Word to the wise: Only buy tin for your protective day wear, as it hasn’t been proven ineffective at blocking radio waves by MIT, unlike aluminum. Stay safe out there!
Quick addendum: This is a bit. Don’t come after me, Big Aluminum.
There is also steel and gold foil. Neither is great for hats, but they’re still options!
aluminum vs. tin
isnt most if not all tinfoilj just aluminum foil these days? It’s one of the legacy terms that nobody really uses correctly anymore.
thinks mind controlling radio waves are a legitimate threat that needs to be protected against
doesn’t take steps to also protect their young children from that danger
classic
I feel like between 2-5, every parent would kill for some decent child mind control.
I thought this was wholesome memes and mom did not conform to society by wearing the crown made for her by the her kid.
Could just be that her kids made it for her and she obliged them by wearing it.
Did the kids also ask her to protect herself from mind control?
Jokes aside, others have gone through her content and this is likely just satire
That’s not how “POV” works.
sad tire
That’s not how satire works.
Morons always procreate and it’s been holding back the rest of the human race since the beginning of time.
I don’t want to bother checking the original, but it seems like satire to me
i did the work to validate. it definitely is, lady is pretty funny
Mom brain. Judging by the ages of the kids in the image she hasn’t slept well for years.
So let’s assume that radio waves can control your mind and that tinfoil can stop the radio waves… what good is covering just the top of your head? Couldn’t the radio waves strike the mind from a lower angle? This defense is basically useless.
see… AM radio waves go up and bounce down, this makes it so they can travel farther and give you better reception when you are out in the boonies but the cost comes when the weather isn’t very good. FM broadcasts its waves in a more side ways that works best with line of site.
This lady is clearly frightened of the AM talk radio and religious nut waves coming from they sky and not of the cool easy jazz and soft hits of the 60’s 70’s and 80’s
I took some antenna theory courses back in the day and yes, you are correct. Some frequencies reflect off the upper atmosphere so there would be a longer effective range at higher incident angles (going into the top of the head) but it wouldn’t completely block radio waves. Going from memory, the wavelengths that reflect off the upper atmosphere are long enough that a tin foil hat wouldn’t cause much interference anyways.
TLDR: Fashionable, but not practical.
Lower frequencies (like the HF range) can propagate further due to reflection/refraction with the earth and the ionosphere. Increasing the frequency can lead to e-skip and troposhpeheric ducting. But even the HF range has shorter wavelengths than our brains, which operate in much lower frequencies (Hz vs MHz). So you would think that our brainwaves would pass through tin-foil much more easily
But it’s the tin-foil’s electro-conduction that “foils” the electromagnetic waves’ (i.e radio waves’) ability to pass through it. But you would have to have no gaps in the tin-foil to completely block all waves from passing through. So like, an entire foil suit or a walking Faraday cage.
TL;DR - it’s not about the length of the electromagnetic wave, it’s the electro-conduction (insulating) property of the tin-foil that matters
Just to add - this “hat” would also likely improve reception.
Certainly could if it had good contact. If it was air gapped (held up by hair), it could be an effective barrier for shorter wavelengths.
You’re asking them to think. That’s your first mistake.
Maybe they can’t think because of all the mind control. Catch-22
people who seriously think stuff like that is real don’t subscribe to the same model of reality as we do, they just merrily invent models to describe things in whatever way enables their delusions.
they don’t think of radio as anything so fancy as waves or particles, it’s just a nebulous concept that works however they need it to for them to justify their insane beliefs.
I looked her up. I’m pretty sure this is satire judging from the comedic nature of most of her posts.
The kids don’t have hats. Does she hate her kids??
A little mind control in their life builds character
She could just… wear that tinfoil cap under a normal hat to avoid attracting attention??
But then it isn’t performative conservatism, and therefore is unmonetizable by the algorithm due to lack of engagement! And you gotta feed that 'rithm!
You wear a tinfoil cap to keep the radio waves from controlling your brain.
I wear a tinfoil cap to keep my brain’s waves from interfering with nearby electronics.
We are not the same.
I wear my tinfoil cap to keep people from socializing with me.
We are not the same.
So that’s how I stop the fridge from reciting random frog facts!
Do you really want it to stop though?
Wait… wouldn’t the tinfoil act as an antenna?
Depends, I think, if there’s an insulating gap between it and your metal skull.
Not an antenna, but a parabol dish focusing the waves on a central point.
Fr, do a faraday cage helm or bust
