Worried about 5G?

My anti-5G belt emits tachyons to absorb 5G radiation before it is even generated.
Proof that it's not emitting tachyons, and you get your money back.
 
One of these days I have to find out what 5G is and what it's supposed to do. Something to do with phones, I gather. Is this going to be another one of those flashy rollouts that people throw money at that has no significant life impact?

Basically it just means a faster internet connection than 4G, which is what your current mobile phone probably uses, unless you bought a new one within the last couple years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

In telecommunications, 5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is the planned successor to the 4G networks which provide connectivity to most current cellphones.
. . .

The main advantage of the new networks is that they will have greater bandwidth, giving higher download speeds, eventually up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).[2] In addition to 5G being faster than existing networks, 5G can connect more different devices, and even if people are in crowded areas, the servers will be more unified, improving the quality of Internet services.[3] Due to the increased bandwidth, it is expected the networks will increasingly be used as general internet service providers (ISPs) for laptops and desktop computers, competing with existing ISPs such as cable internet, and also will make possible new applications in internet-of-things (IoT) and machine-to-machine areas. 4G cellphones are not able to use the new networks, which require 5G-enabled wireless devices.

ETA: All that said, 4G is already pretty good as far as I'm concerned, so you might not notice. These incremental changes do make a difference though in the long run, even if you don't notice a big difference from year to year. Just compare a new smartphone to what was available back in the 1990s, for example.

See, there you people go again with your 'science' and 'proven effects'.

What is clearly important is whether radiation is natural or unnatural. And clearly nothing natural can be dangerous.
So that is why I am selling new and improved anti-5G necklaces made from a mixture of uranium (to absorb that evil 5G radiation), arsenic (for the colour) and white phosphorous, to give it that natural glow.
 
If you are in your lounge, reading a book while sitting in your favourite chair, with your 5G mobile phone on the coffee table next to you, you are probably getting more radiation from your house wiring than you are from your mobile phone.
 
What I do not understand is why on earth the producer of a fraudulent product uses presumably expensive raw materials

Or am I wrong, are radioactive materials actually cheaper to acquire?

There is also the possibility that the producers are not actually trying to deceive the gullible customers, but are simply stupid, and believe their own alternative physics where you combat radiation of one kind with radiation of another kind.
 
The article mentions a product which is advertised as containing "pure minerals and volcanic ash that are extracted from the Earth". So it looks like the usual erroneous assumption that 'natural' is synonymous with 'safe'.
