Comment on French agency says the iPhone 12 emits too much radiation, tells Apple to withdraw it
umbraroze@kbin.social 9 months agoThat's right! However, remember that bananas have potassium-40 in it, which is radioactive. Not much, though. So be very very mildly careful around bananaphones! /old joke

Also remember that plants have been around before humans and that we evolved to resist natural radiations. We haven’t evolved yet to be around devices that produces more radiations than the limit agreed by scientists

Radioactive bananas is a relatively new thing resulting from all the nuclear bomb testing that went on from the 40s in to the 90s.

Back in the early 00s there was this wave of “phones give you cancer” panic and my friends father made them put on this stupid sticker on the back of their phone to “stop the radiation”. Anyways it was stupid and your comment reminded me of it xD

You take that back!
I had a sticker that had flashing LEDs powered solely on the radiation coming from the phone. It was awesome.

Are you thinking of Rush Limbaugh? Who later actually died of (lung) cancer because he wouldn’t stop smoking?
