4G for what? They don't have internet openly available.

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The heard that its used in the US to mind control people and read their thoughts.

Next month they have mandatory COVID vaccinations so that everyone gets the microchips as well.

Everyone knows it is 5G! I can't get out of the house without my head covered in aluminum foil now.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got the vaccine so now I have perfect cell reception! Always 5G everywhere. A week ago I lost 1 bar, so I think I should get a booster vaccination. Also, now I'm magnetic, I never lose my phone. Plus, suddenly I love my government so I'm not angry all the time. /s

Wake up sheeple, DO YOUR RESEARCH!

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I remember these with 4G too, although covid made the hysteria 10 fold.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't say I've heard that used like this before 🤣

Muppet is a classic British insult. Means dumbass.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well of course an ass is dumb, it doesn't have a brain smh

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Always happy to expand my arse-nal of insults 🤣

Also like how the "victim" probably upvoted his insulter. Y'all alright

[–] itsnotits@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

it's* used in the US

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tourists, probably. That’s what their 3G network is for, if I remember correctly.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn't fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists' data

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Tourists

They have that? Why would you go there?

I thought internet is mostly for officials and military in NK?

[–] aeki@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Why would you go there?

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For real. Even though my country has diplomatic ties with NK I would never in a million years step foot in there. I don't think anyone should.

Unless you're Dennis Rodman.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not dumb enough to actually go but I get the draw. It's a fascinating place.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not allowed to go, but I sure would love to see that dictstorship with my own eyes.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well there is Dennis Rodman and other nuts that think he's great.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They have like 2 Million smartphones operating in NK and have some sort of network they allow people to connect to.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Nice. Just no food.
