Comment on Hypothetically, if some mysterious force started to jam every radio frequency, how would modern day society adapt to this?

I think you’re being intentionally obtuse here?

Your meta analyzing the question instead of just taking the questions as it is: A hypothetical scenario where most of our radio communication is jammed and unusable.

The mechanics of how the question got there don’t really matter, that’s not part of the question, it’s pointlessly pedantic to pick it apart. Just imagine the scenario with the mechanics you can consider plausible for such a scenario, and roll with it.

Chill out. I was interested in the “how” and thought I would share.

    Honestly it gave me the u/andromeda321 vibes. Like someone who knows their shit just wandered in and gave us all a lesson. She is the only thing I miss about the site that must not be named.
    
    I’m very happy people like you exist and and don’t want to see people that might not appreciate these things to ruin it for the rest of us that do. I want lemmy to be better that the old place.
    
    Any way happy new year!

    Ah, so you’re a wizard. Meddling in unseen, invisible powers, using arcane diagrams and mysterious runes…

Let people enjoy thought experiments as a tangent.

What I like about these kind of questions is how different people take things in a totally different direction. I find it absolutely fascinating to see detailed replies about connotations I never thought of. It’s the whole reason why I love xkcd’s What If. If you’re unfamiliar, do yourself a favour and have a read. I particularly enjoy his answer to the question of everyone standing in one spot and jumping at the same time. He more or less ignores the core question and focuses on the societal & environmental impact of a mass human migration to one point, resulting in a fantastic read.
