Quantum Shenanigan: BioShield Distribution Offers $347 5GBioShield USB Key to Protect From "Harmful 5G Emissions"

This is taking advantage of people's idiocy

efikkan · May 28, 2020

If someone releases SuperstitionShield™ which could repel these "alternative" people within a 1km radius, I'll gladly pay $347.

Or perhaps I should just put up a big scary antenna, a box with a buzzing sound, and a sticker saying "negative energy emitter"…

Reminds me of those 200EUR SATA cables and the Killer NIC "gaming" ethernet card back in the day...

A rough translation, but here in Finland we use to say "it's not stupid to ask, it's stupid to pay".

Looks like 4G fried their brains.

My country has a similar saying but citing the correlation between fecal matter and flys... :laugh:

Reminds me of these bracelet things someone showed to me during a Disneyland trip a few years ago. Apparently they were supposed to "get rid of negative energy" or something. I had some crazy trying to convince me that they worked and telling my family and me to buy them.

In reality, it was a latex bracelet with a holographic thing in it that they wanted $60 for.

It amazes me what people will fall for. Maybe I need to look into getting into this industry...

Like the wireless ESD bracelet The Verge's dude used?

Sad part is there will be people buying this.

5G negative energy emitter.

Dude, it just passed 100k fatalities in the US the other day... :rolleyes:

Get your own protective bubble!

( Sulu! Shields up! )

Someone already took them apart, these are literally 128MB USBsticks with a block of plastic and some bullshit pdfs. Sometimes its way too easy to make money off stupid people...

Can I just wear a hat version of one? Seems like some kind of foil could do the trick.

Did Trump endorse this on twatter before it was removed ???

Can't decide if this is really clever or if they are complete assholes.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised, so I have to ask. Are you serious?

Who needs Nostradamus when P.T. Barnum predicted this exact thing to a "T"?

The two are not mutually exclusive, sadly. The would would be a much better place if all the assholes were idiots (though recent history has shown that intellect certainly isn't a requirement for an asshole to go far either).

On a side note: I wonder how big the overlap is between people believing the danger of COVID-19 is a lie drummed up by the government to implement totalitarian rule and those believing that COVID-19 is caused by 5G. Given the level of internal cognitive dissonance in each of these ideas it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for someone to believe both at the same time.

I'd love to see a Venn diagram showing that, my bet is Trump would be right in the middle of it.

Someone should scrape the member lists of some Facebook groups and make that diagram. For real.

There is one that was a seen on tv ad back in late 90's if I recall, I think it was called Qband or something like it. It was a cheap piece of metal and it was to also remove negative energy and align your chi or whatever other magical thing it was supposed to do.

It must have sold since that commercial was on for at least a few years.

Just had to.
To be fair, I don't really trust alot of what I'm hearing with all this regardless of who's saying it.
Too much of it is contradictory to what's been said already and common sense in general.

That seems like a lot of work to verify what we all know to be true
