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.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Wi-Fi Sickness? Bruh, where on this planet are you not going to be surrounded by it? There's satellite linked internet projecting Wi-Fi to rural areas as we type.

You can go to the tallest mountain on this planet away from everything and you might just be giving yourself a better signal to Starlink.

Wi-Fi Sickness I looked it up, it's mostly idiopathic and it's not a scientifically valid sickness. It's oddly enough more attributed to negative expectations and thinking that Wi-Fi is more harmful than it is and can give the brain a preconceived notion, that messes with perception of danger and that can cause anxiety WHICH causes the feeling of feeling sick.

So basically, it's not real and the person needs therapy and the person giving in to the paranoid/anxious delusion of Wi-Fi sickness should put their parenting pride aside and take them to a therapist.

I agree with the validity of what you're saying, but usually for patients who are insistent that they suffer from this, the recommendation is to move to this area:

Where i usef to work was a sizable grocery store and i would often go and get my lunch from there. It was also home of a pretty weird cult like religious group. They weren't super popular because tgey would always buy bulk groceries to rush hour times and never wated their things "lasered" so, scanned. This is dumb enough when you think about it for more than a second, but they have enough time to think about the fact that their things don't just get "lasered" by the cashier.

Another thing i whitenessed once was when they set up a new mobile phone antenna where i live. A lot of old people complained about it the moment construction started. When the date came around where they turned it on, i woke up and my signal was still shit. A lot of people wrote angry letters that they now have migraines because of the antenna and the mobile company responded basically with: well that sucks to hear, but because of technical difficulties, we had to push the date up another month, but we hope your migraine gets better.

Or stepping outside and being bombarded by all the signals out there. The sun being one of them.
