4G for what? They don't have internet openly available.

The heard that its used in the US to mind control people and read their thoughts.

Next month they have mandatory COVID vaccinations so that everyone gets the microchips as well.

Everyone knows it is 5G! I can't get out of the house without my head covered in aluminum foil now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I got the vaccine so now I have perfect cell reception! Always 5G everywhere. A week ago I lost 1 bar, so I think I should get a booster vaccination. Also, now I'm magnetic, I never lose my phone. Plus, suddenly I love my government so I'm not angry all the time. /s

Wake up sheeple, DO YOUR RESEARCH!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I remember these with 4G too, although covid made the hysteria 10 fold.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can't say I've heard that used like this before 🤣

Muppet is a classic British insult. Means dumbass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Well of course an ass is dumb, it doesn't have a brain smh

Always happy to expand my arse-nal of insults 🤣

Also like how the "victim" probably upvoted his insulter. Y'all alright

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

it's* used in the US

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Tourists, probably. That’s what their 3G network is for, if I remember correctly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn't fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists' data

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Tourists

They have that? Why would you go there?

I thought internet is mostly for officials and military in NK?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Why would you go there?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

For real. Even though my country has diplomatic ties with NK I would never in a million years step foot in there. I don't think anyone should.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Unless you're Dennis Rodman.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm not dumb enough to actually go but I get the draw. It's a fascinating place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not allowed to go, but I sure would love to see that dictstorship with my own eyes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Well there is Dennis Rodman and other nuts that think he's great.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They have like 2 Million smartphones operating in NK and have some sort of network they allow people to connect to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Nice. Just no food.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

But Lemmygrad and Hexbear told me that they already have 6G? Uggh CIA propaganda smh

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Stupid lib, obviously the DPRK is rolling out 4G as part of their humanitarian program for the breakaway region of South Korea /s
