it means radio lol
I know. There is a helpful image with the word "RADIO" atached to the claim.
Never run your car in an enclosed space as the fumes could kill you. Run it outside instead, where you can slowly kill everyone around.
There's definitely nowhere for the dangerous fumes and gases to accumulate outside. It's not like a billion other cars rejecting fumes in the enclosed atmosphere will do anything that harms us, like it would if we were enclosed in a garage.
I'm all for this except the pseudoscientific brainwashing bullshit lole
I think it's more about the rightwing propaganda, because in the US radio stations are for the most part owned by conservative media
Cable TV is also mainly producing electromagnetic radiation (light) in the end. And some acoustic waves as well to be honest. So Fox News & Co are really mind controlling you guys with EM radiation. No conspiracy needed.
I mean, sure.....but by that same logic, you could say the same thing about cartoon network or mtv or comedy central or any other cable tv network that has nothing to do with news/politics.
Sure, what are advertisements other than the attempt to brainwash people into buying some product or another.
Your friends are constantly spewing EM radiation at you. So is your home. The trees outside. The very sky. There's no escape. Even if you were to enclose yourself in a Faraday cage and exist in complete darkness, your own body would still be bathing your surroundings in EM radiation that bounces off the cage.
It's not the EM radiation part that's problematic, it's the brainwashing part. And my friends seldomly try to brainwash me, except maybe into living a healthier lifestyle and going out more.
Me, I am brainwashing myself all the time, by telling me how miserably I'm failing my life at one moment. And by telling me how awesome I am the moment after. Not sure if that's problematic or just normal.
I read it as being aimed at the kind of people who put "EMF blocking" stickers on their phones.
My mother bought a new car. As I am the tech person she asked me to setup the system for the maps and all that.
Well, turns out that in order to give internet to the car, she needs an app on her phone, registered with her name, address, phone number, and all the personal info you gave to the sales person. No app tracking you means no maps in the car.
I gave up because it was telling me that I didn't enter the correct personal information. Fuck that shit.
