    To be honest… electric field you are surrounded by every day most likely affects you more than position of Saturn on the night sky… But people who claim that new tech is causing medical issues are considered crackpots.

    Believing in astrology is much safer.

    I do believe gorilla piss exists.

    I do not believe drinking gorilla piss would grant you gorilla strength (citation needed).

    I don’t need to believe in Wi-Fi I just need to see that my phone is connected to the internet. The existence of Wi-Fi can be inferred by me having access to YouTube.

    You can map out the inside of a building and figure out where objects are, and when and where movement occurs, with WiFi.

    You cannot do this with magic woo woo nonsense that equivocates and conflates terms across different domain specific meanings, and then attempts to build a world view out of confused, meaningless/contradictory gibberish.

    I do believe that people operate at different vibrational frequencies…like you know the person who comes in the room and there’s just a creepy dark energy? It happens. Its not voodoo weird stuff but there’s definitely a 6th sense about people that’s present.

      It’s more likely a collection of more mundane unconscious observations using all of your more normal senses that get very quickly consolidated in to one intuitive sense of dubious reliability but which in the absence of better information keeps you a bit safer.

    To be fair I very much don’t believe in wifi. I use it, but I still think it doesn’t have what it takes.

    WiFi IS real. “Auras”, “Vibes” and “Crystal Energy” is magical nonsense.

    Shout out to my broken coworker who brought his crystals in to work one day to fix our negative energy. After carefully placing each stone according to universal leylines of good vibes, extraordinarily pleased with himself, immediately saw me slice through a package and into my fingers. I needed eleven stitches.

      Negative energy can never be removed, only transferred. He obviously didn’t like you, the skeptic, so he transferred all the negative energy into you from your other co-workers. /s

      That’s just how the magic stones remove the negative energy from your body, through bloodletting

    Okay but some rocks do have an energy and vibe. This is scientifically proven, the energy is radiation and the vibe is hatred. Pretty fucken useful for a variety of things though, like antique glow in the dark plates.

    They aren’t “powering everything”. JFC go lick a wall outlet, that’s what powers many things. WiFi is information, and indeed, they try to make it use less and less power.

      It could power stuff. Tesla was working on it, and there have been a few small companies over the years that have done it.

      Just turns out that it’s not very practical compared to a wall socket.

    Heard some conspiracy folks mention negative frequencies from 5G and the like. It’s just a phase I guess…

      Negative frequency is a concept in signal processing, and many other domains.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_frequency

      Phase could be the thing, beats me, it’s been a while. Negative resistance is also another one of those concepts that pop up now and then, specifically negative differential resistance.

        Oh god, it’s been a long time since I took Vibrations and Waves, but I still remember filling notebook after notebook with Fourier transform equations.

    You guys, energy, frequency and vibration are all obviously fake. Nobody has ever observed vibration in real life. Go on and try measuring one of those “frequencies”, I’ll wait. Where are you even supposed to find those? “A faucet dripping”? “Your literal heartbeat”? Don’t make me laugh!
