Comment on French agency says the iPhone 12 emits too much radiation, tells Apple to withdraw it
isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 1 year agoBack 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

I thiiiiiiink this was fear mongering in line with the whole uh… Hannity? Whatever that maniacs name was who has/had the AM station. Basically the pre-fox republican mouthpiece.

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

Uhhhhhhh I’ve mostly blocked it out, but maybe? It was just some dude that yelled a lot and I vividly remember being in the car when the soliders or whatever had recently been beheaded (it was on the news cycle?), and he was like “hrrr drrr people are trying to keep the truth away from 'mericans!” so he aired part of the audio clip of them being beheaded???!?!
idk it was fucked.

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