I can feel my vaccine vibrating inside of me!
Oh jeez you weren't kidding. Poeple are acting like the government just scheduled a nuclear Holocaust for Wednesday.
Exactly. My wife is the one who ran into them and started reading them to me. They just go on and on with one crazy take after another.
* US Phones.
Good point. I actually was going to post this in a US News community, but realized it wasn't very active, so switched at the last minute. A news community wasn't the best choice, really, because it was the comments I wanted to highlight, but I couldn't find one that seemed appropriate.
Thank you
Okay I understand why some people might feel paranoid that this in preparation for some potentially imminent attack… but can someone explain to me why so many of these people are so worried about the message itself being pushed to their phone? Like they’re talking about draining their batteries to avoid it—but like, why though?
Yeah, that's what got me. I mean, it's about as close as you can get to the literal tinfoil hat thing (wearing tinfoil on your head to stop the government or aliens or whatever from beaming into your brain.
The message is sending a virus made by the world known hacker, Bill Gates. After this Microsoft and ThE gOvErNmEnT know everything you do and who you talk to and what about and what websites you visit and tiktoks you look at. First step of total world domination.
Holy shit. That’s exactly what I was thinking! At this point, it’s just a matter of time before they start to charge people with future crime. How else can Elton’s “Starlink” be explained? Sounds like a project codename to me. What is it linking to? Obviously not our phones. They are looking into your life—where you are and what you’re doing. They’ll use their algorithms to determine who they think might commit a crime in the coming weeks, or if the algorithm sees you breaking one of the coming lockdown laws. Also, you’re hunting Tom Cruise. Why doesn’t anyone else see this but us?
I suppose there is fear of it being abused (think 1984 telescreens you're unable to turn off)? There was a test recently here in the UK and we had the same fears discussed. The noise was pretty awful so I just turned it off, but maybe people don't realise you can disable it.
I turned that shit off, my provincial gov't uses it like their personal Xitter account.
They are all talking about emptying their batteries, lets not tell them there's an option in settings.

- That's the UK
- While you can turn off some emergency alerts, I don't believe you can turn off the national emergency alert in the US.
It sounds like it: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/wireless-emergency-alerts-wea
Airplaine mode is also working.
Okay don't see anything that says people will go insane.
I'm saying the people in the comments have already gone insane (did you read the body text?).
Noting that people are insane in youtube comments is the same as noting that the sun set last night and rose again this morning.
Well, that's a fair point. And I don't look at the comments often, but this seemed particularly nutty.
Yeah, the people in the comments are those stupid fuckers who think they know more than the masses. Dunning-Krueger specimens.
I saw no comments on that video at time I watched it.
Please change the title of this post to match the title of the video. I'll have to remove it for violating rule 4 it if isn't changed.
Okay, done. I hadn't realized when posting that this is one of the communities where you have to use the source title. I'm this case it's frustrating because I really wanted to talk about the comments more than the video, but the body text will have to do. Thanks for the warning and time to fix it.
If you want to make a comment about the discourse there, I'll pin it for you. Just let me know.
It's fine, I think, but thank you for the offer. People seem to be discussing the comment section mostly, which is what I was looking for
Rule violation on title.
There are rules?
There are rules, but they are only as effective as their enforcement
We enforce, but reports help.
Just doin my part 😘
Oh, shit, is this one of the communities where the title can't be changed from the source?
Read the rules lol
At&t has been sending me nonstop alerts for the last 2 months and I'm getting fuckin pissed.
Got like 10 today alone.
FUCK OFF I DONT CARE ABOUT TEST ALERTS
Just turn them off in the settings then
Oh trust me I tried. They still keep coming.
But it seems that test alerts directly from AT&T are unaffected.
