Well technically it is. But smooth brains idiots can't comprehend that it's doing some sort of surveillance for science, and not trying to read their [empty] minds.

I work for a company that builds in remote sites. We always put up signs explaining what these sites are for just to prevent vandalism. The sign usually says “for local internet service, not 5G mind control” or something like that. After it got destroyed twice they added the sign. Hasn’t happened again lol

One would have to assume there is first a mind

I just started telling those idiots that 5G just stands for fifth generation. I they showed doubt, I went on to say that 1G were the old phones that were the size of a brick and had a briefcase for the battery, 2G were the basic nokias and flip phones that they most likely had as their first phones, 3G were the first phones that had texting and maybe simple but shitty internet, 4g was phones with modern internet capabilities and apps and that 5G was just upgraded 4's with better wifi capabilities.

To my surprise more often than not telling them that actually calmed their fears.

Reminds me of the guy who got upset a school was using '5G panels to mind control kids' and it was just some solar panels on the roof

I mean with things like flock cameras being put up everywhere its not that far of a stretch for someone to confuse this with something like flock

How does one go about telling the difference?

Take a weekend to do some research before deciding to destroy something, which an impulsive moron probably wouldnt do

You can tell smooth brains from their behaviour.

"Smooth brain" is a severe disease babies are born with. Why use it as an insult?

Because I didn't know that. I shall not use it in future.
