This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

It's not about the wifi, it's the perception of wifi.
These people get upset when they think there's wifi, actual wifi is irrelevant. You can gut a router and fit the case with an AA battery and an LED and they'll have 'symptoms' if they see it.
Set up an access point to broadcast dozens of SSIDs so they see tons of wifi when they open the wifi screen on their phones.
My aunt used to get these terrible itches and headaches when she visits us, untill I turn off the wifi.
Some minor experimenting has lead me to a breakthrough though. I found she's not allergic to wifi, but to green indicator LEDs. Ever since I disabled the LED, her problems have been solved!
My husband won't let me tell her though. Something about "live and let live".
Your husband probably knows she is batshit insane and any reasoning skills left the call long ago
Its futile
What? How would that even work? Green LEDs emit the same spectrum that the sun does a million times over. And TVs and LED lighting emit the same thing.
Wooosh
im pretty sure they meant alergic to green leds as in the person placebos themself into itchyness and headaches from thinking the wifi is on, and off leds means they think wifi is off
I think they're implying that the aunt is sick only when she can visually confirm that the moden/router is on.
Psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Addict, insane
Then, they’re hypocrites.
No, he only gets sick when you use wifi, not when he does
Ah, a classic case of Munchausen by proxyserver.
Instead of 100 mW WiFi, he uses >1W for 4G/5G, with higher frequencies (bigger energies per photon) as well! Great Success!
Yup, this is the way. Get a cheap ESP32 or something and put several hundred SSIDs on it. There is no way they are looking at the spectrum itself.
I think that’s true, and that’s why this person should put a fake 5G mast on the roof facing the new neighbour.
Put an old colander in the window pointed at their house. It doesn't need to be radio-related at all, imaginary allergies can be triggered by imaginary allergens.
