    Wi-Fi Sickness? Bruh, where on this planet are you not going to be surrounded by it? There’s satellite linked internet projecting Wi-Fi to rural areas as we type.

    You can go tor wh tallest mountain on this planet away for everything and you might just be giving yourself a better signal to Starlink.

    Wi-Fi Sickness I looked it up, it’s mostly idiopathic and it’s not a scientifically valid sickness. It’s oddly enough more attributed to negative expectations and thinking that Wi-Fi is more harmful than it is and can give the brain a preconceived notion, that messes with perception of danger and that can cause anxiety WHICH causes the feeling of feeling sick.

    So basically, it’s not real and the person needs therapy and the person giving in to the paranoid/anxious delusion of Wi-Fi sickness should put their parenting pride aside and take them to a therapist.

    Ridiculous claim aside, if they want a solution they should be setting up like a chicken wire Faraday cage, not making this everyone else’s problem.

      I hate people like this because their sons could really be sick with something, but they’ve decided it is the WiFi and they aren’t getting him the care he needs. Woowoo people I swear.

      Maybe just in the child’s room then, also you might want to ground that Faraday cage if they have anything that could be transmitting WiFi or Bluetooth or even is just a large screen.

      Also it needs to be a fine mesh because for blocking 5GHz WiFi you want the hole size to be a 1/20 of the wavelength which comes out to >4mm.

      Or an even cheaper solution would be to get one of those large “pet” cages and run a wire straight into the earth hole of a power socket.

      • PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You theoretically don’t “need” to ground a faraday cage if you want to block RF. I would do it anyway though.

        You’re kinda right about the wavelength thing, but tinfoil would absolutely take care of it.

        Two layers if you’re cautious. Separated by some thin non conductive layer, except connected at one point. To the better faraday cage.

      A tinfoil hat is a portable solution.

    You don’t use wifi cause you believe it gives you wifi cancer.
    I don’t use wifi cause a $6 ethernet cable gives me faster and more dependable internet.

    Everyone knows WiFi routers generate phlogiston which unbalances the 4 humors and causes brain clouds.

    source
    • TheLowestStone@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Stop your bullshit fear mongering. We all know phlogiston is perfectly safe. The real problem is that 5g draws in miasma from local cemeteries.

      source
      • oatscoop@midwest.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You might want to be careful calling people out like that: it’s not solved science.

        I can remember people confidently arguing (and citing sources) that phlogiston is the problem and the miasma theory is quackery. Seems like every year we learn something new and it goes back and forth. “Are eggs healthy or not?”, “Do crystals work via homeopathy or latent energies?”, etc.

        Personally, I sidestep the issue to avoid both and stick to things that have been settled. Like colloidal silver being the best thing to drink every day.

        This is why it’s not economical to keep burying the dead in large fields like graveyards. All the pastureized miasma is not healthy! We need raw miasma like in the French catacombs. Why do you think they saw a renaissance?

        Yeah, do not microwave the neighbours.

        You can actually hurt someone with microwave-level RF, as in, cause permanent damage and fry someone’s retinas quite easily, so don’t unless you know what you are doing.

    A few years back got some new neighbors. This is in rural TX, everybody has at least one acre of land. There is plenty of room to just fuck off and mind their own business.

    Anyway, new neighbor comes over and demands I quit using my smoker because it bothers his wife. We laugh him off the property lol.

    He calls the cops throwing a fit and eventually got his dumbass arrested for disorderly conduct.

    They moved away shortly thereafter, we still laugh about it around the neighborhood.

      You’re not a real network! “Family of Wireless Network Protocols”, for Christ’s sake? An unwired connection? What a joke! I worked my ass off to ping where I am! And you take these shortcuts and you think suddenly you’re my peer-connection? You do what I do because you’re convenient and you can make people laugh on their phone? I committed my WAN port to this! You don’t slide into it like a cheap router and then reap all the rewards!

    There are forms of electro-sensitivity that can disturb people, but usually it’s from loud and poorly phased circuits in homes. Never wifi.

    A lot of errie/haunted buildings are actually just electrically loud, and a number of them become peaceful once the wiring is fixed.

      I knew someone who claimed to get migranes from being near devices but way less if their is a cactus right next to the device.

      All you really need is any old router you can flash custom firmware on. Wifi signal strength radio waves are fcc regulated to be no more than 1w (30 dBm) but routers are physically capable of much more, so with a custom firmware, you can crank that sucker up higher than anything new and high end off the store shelves.
