Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsJust got the national alert.
It said:
"WE'RE NOT FUCKING AROUND. GET UNDER YOUR DESK RIGHT NOW"
About 30 seconds after that alert, got another one that said:
"HAHAHA! DON'T WORRY, WE'RE JUST FUCKING WITH YA"

in airplane mode- The alarm prevented that!!
But, I was able to turn phone off.

Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)...that this alert, that we all received around the same time, could have somehow been offered as a moment of National unity.
Oh well.

(18,155 posts)According to QAnon-type nutters, that emergency alert was the trigger signal for something something COVID vaccine something something 5G/WiFi something something mutations which will turn you into a zombie. Apparently you could have saved yourself with three (not two, but three) layers of aluminum foil on the walls of your room. But now the signal has been activated and it's too late.
I wish I were making that up.
Think. Again.

(30,737 posts)Luckily, I saw your post and checked my phone. Perhaps I am not important enough to get a audible signal.
