    You wear a tinfoil cap to keep the radio waves from controlling your brain.

    I wear a tinfoil cap to keep my brain’s waves from interfering with nearby electronics.

    We are not the same.

    Someone did a study at MIT about tin foil hats, and found that not only do they not screen radio interference, in some cases, can actually magnify them.

    Conclusion: The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz. According to the FCC, These bands are supposedly reserved for ‘‘radio location’’ (ie, GPS), and other communications with satellites (see, for example, [3]). The 2.6 Ghz band coincides with mobile phone technology. Though not affiliated by government, these bands are at the hands of multinational corporations. It requires no stretch of the imagination to conclude that the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC. We hope this report will encourage the paranoid community to develop improved helmet designs to avoid falling prey to these shortcomings.

    thinks mind controlling radio waves are a legitimate threat that needs to be protected against

    doesn’t take steps to also protect their young children from that danger

    Honestly, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the picture was that her son made her a crown, and she was proudly rockin’ it.

    I thought this was wholesome memes and mom did not conform to society by wearing the crown made for her by the her kid.

      I assumed she just didn’t want to argue with a toddler who desperately wanted her to wear that. I mean, pick your battles. Save the energy for a bigger one and wear a tinfoil hat. But the present thing would be much more wholesome

      She might be wearing it to keep other people away and stop them from taking to her.

      It really does stop the voices, just not the voices you’d expect.

    I’m waiting for the day someone wears a tinfoil hat specifically to protect only their head from beta radiation from something stupid like a pile of slightly radioactive rocks from a mine.

    It would just be so funny to demonstrate an actual use, but not care about covering the test of your body lol.

    Morons always procreate and it’s been holding back the rest of the human race since the beginning of time.

        You’re putting words in my mouth, I said nothing about what intelligence the kids get, all I said is stupids people are more likely to procreate due to less critical thinking and long term planning, thus creating a sort of cycle. I’m talking behavioral and developmental barriers coupled with economic pressure

        Nothing at all to do with genetics.
