Well I guess we could have solved the rural Internet access problem at the same time as the pandemic but no. Big corporations and governments colluded to prevent that happening. Yes. Sarcasm.

[*tutting sounds*] This is just another example where ETSI and telecommunication standardization missed the boat!

I wrote this thread explaining why this stuff is nonsense https://twitter.com/MoonbaseOtago/status/1370922507146985478

Aren't nanobots a thing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanorobotics ?

Can't the human body be used as an antenna?

Just saying, A fool can ask more questions than seven wise men can answer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Post is dated March 30, I'd say sadly this was probably not intended as an April Fools joke. Unless they're using the 'voltswagen' NTP server :P /lamejoke

Is it showing the date in local Australian time, or translating for your time zone?

If it was saying 31st I would consider that an option, but I'm 8 hours behind AUS and it says 30th for me.

not really a practical thing (maybe some day, maybe never) - anything can be an antenna, not necessarily a good one, especially if you want some output actual power

No, it will just post your filthy thoughts to your facebook timelime.

I believe the people that believe in 5G in vaccines are already posting every stupid thought they have on facebook.

So in a roundabout way, vaccines ARE connecting them to the Internet!

I need some clarification on "connect me to the internet", does that means I can watch Youtube videos by simply closing my eyes? I can search on Google with my thoughts? Can I connect to my smart home so I can turn on the lights without saying a word?

No, it will just post your filthy thoughts to your facebook timelime.

Well, we can already use fMRI (maybe EEG as well) or PET scan to read the structure of people's thoughts. And researchers already have done BrainNet, A Multi-Person Brain-to-Brain Interface https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08632

Science doesn't stay still. Given these it is no surprise that lay person think that this is possible.

Most people don't need a vaccine for that...

What about the more expensive ones? Do they have 5G? What about bitcoin mining? Can we mine bitcoin with any of the vaccines?

The cheaper ones mine bitcoin to subsidize the cost. How fast you gain immunity depends on the market rate of bitcoin and number of other people who have already been vaccinated and are skewing the hash rate.
