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

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 57 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

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

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

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

it's* used in the US

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 7 points 8 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

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 6 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Tourists

They have that? Why would you go there?

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

[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

Unless you're Dennis Rodman.

Why would you go there?

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 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.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Nice. Just no food.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 37 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 12 points 8 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
