Flipped my stance on 5G towers after a neighbor showed me his RF meter readings

I used to think 5G was just paranoia fodder until my buddy Mark brought his $200 RF meter over and we measured 850 microwatts per square meter right outside my bedroom window. He then walked me down the block to a spot behind a brick wall where it dropped to 45, and that real data hit different. Anyone else change their mind after seeing actual numbers instead of just headlines?

Honestly that RF meter stuff is wild. I used to think I was just being dramatic about 5G until I held one of those things and saw it spike. My buddy let me borrow his and I spent a whole weekend walking around my house like a paranoid ghost, pointing it at everything. Made me feel like a total dork but now I actually check readings before I set up my laptop in a room.

Jumped down that same rabbit hole with @king.val and now I half expect my microwave to start charging me rent for all the RF it's pumping out.

Idk I totally get the "paranoid ghost" thing haha. I borrowed a meter from a friend too and spent like three hours just waving it near my router, wondering why I never checked before. It's kinda embarrassing how much it changed where I actually sit in my own house now.
