    Well, microwave frequency is close to wifi but ain't the same. These children are obviously susceptible to that range only, and somehow affects their stimuli to be pussies and dumb fucks.

    At first I thought this was going to be a "How likely is it that I will get hacked if I use wi-fi at schoo?" type thread... man... was I WAY off base on that one.

    2.4 GHz waves are microwaves.

    A microwave oven works by passing non-ionizing microwave radiation, usually at a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz (GHz)—a wavelength of 122 millimetres (4.80 in)—through the food. Microwave radiation is between common radio and infrared frequencies. Water, fat, and other substances in the food absorb energy from the microwaves in a process called dielectric heating. Many molecules (such as those of water) are electric dipoles, meaning that they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other, and therefore rotate as they try to align themselves with the alternating electric field of the microwaves. This molecular movement represents heat which is then dispersed as the rotating molecules hit other molecules and put them into motion.

    Lemme know if these kids are willing to give up their hot pockets and microwave popcorn.

    The IEEE has the protocols for your microwave oven frequency @ 2.450GHz and wireless fidelity for NA channels 1-11:

    Yeah it jumps around but watchugonna do? That's how we roll.

    You aren't alone on that TV signal thing. I think it's actually the speakers that emit some high pitch squelch when "mute". But I can tell a TV is on in another room, always.

    What you are hearing is a tone at about 16,000Hz. Most cathode ray tubes make a tone at about that frequency. While humans can hear sound from 20Hz to about 20,000Hz we lose the high end of our hearing due to age and noise exposure. I would guess that those of you that can hear it are younger than 25 or just taking really good care of your ears.
    That would explain it, I'm super sensitive to certain high end frequences, I can't eat in a crowded restaurant with certain types of plates/silverware, the squeak drives me insane. Even worse is the way some people unload dishwashers, CLANK, CLINK, CLANK, KACHUNK... I could swear they were smashing the dishes with a hammer from the racket.

    Back to the topic, there is no way these kids are randomly sensitive to everything except the frequencies which microwaves work at, it's either they lack of sleep/shitty breakfasts during the week/not on weekends as was suggested, or they're just bullshitting to get out of school.

    so they want to stop Wifi in schools but they're not going to stop students from holding radio transmitters up to their heads, that makes a lot of sense

    NO TEXTING IT CAUSES FINGER TUMORS

    It's just another example of what happens when uneducated people get in power and influence other ignorant people to listen to their bullshit.

    Fucking hypochondriac society sometimes.. next thing you know they'll be selling pills to combat emissions that make your kids worse, and people will be buying.

    *lol* Already on it:
    Invent and patent placebo mixed with iron supplements to 'deflect the emissions'.
    Sell patent.
    Profit.
    Guess there's no funny ??? in there :D

    It obviously can't be that my child is just dumb, so it has to be the why-fies and the gee-bees.
