This alert thing that's gonna happen, can we give it a nickname? The Big Buzz?
I wanna go somewhere public and hear all the phones go off.
I'm waiting to see how many people panic and call 000.
That's funny and sad. We need feedback on this.
I waiting to see how many people wrap their phones in tin foil so the government canβt activate the vax chips.
I really don't understand how the cookers can think that if the government was planning evil shenanigans through everyones phone that they would be announcing it well in advance. I guess I shouldn't expect crazy to have any logic though.
Whatβs the alert thing?
Seriously?
On Monday 27th of July around 2pm everyone will receive a test alert from the government. Turn off burner phones if you don't want to be caught out.
Ok thanks.
My phone is neither android or iphone. I am interested to see if the alert goes off on it at all.
