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

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 60 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Always happy to expand my arse-nal of insults 🤣

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

it's* used in the US

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Why would you go there?

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Nice. Just no food.
