Why are there loads of unnamed bluetooth devices around me? (feddit.de)

I live in a big city in the center. When i activate "Show bluetooth devices without names" in the developer settings of my android 13 phone, there appear loads of this devices. I have no clue what they are. Does anyone know? Are that the bluetooth nanobots of the vaxxinated people? (/s to last question!)

Could be anything, since you're in the middle of a large city center. Could be smart devices, could be FindMys or similar, could be beacons, could be trackers, could be any combination.

[E]. To answer your nanobot question. I guess it could be nanobots, though all of the ones I've ever seen, use NFC. Also, "of the vaxxinated people"? I haven't heard that one before. What is that about?

It's a reference to conspiracy theories about vaccines containing trackers

Oh... didn't realize that was a thing. That's.... a bit disturbing....

I don't think they realize how small the vaccine needles are or how hard it would be to actually track you with a microscopic device.

Reality doesn't really matter all that much to antivaxxers.

It's more about causing friction. It's a physical proof with a whole lot of evidence.

A ton of devices not currently in discoverable mode too. Smart watches, TVs, etc.
