Emits so much radiation that it will give you brain cancer.

I actually knew a traveling salesman in the 90s who used one of these. He was on it literally all day every day because his company was paying for it. He was in industrial sales for a mining company and they really didn't care how much any of it cost. So he would make his business calls as well as personal calls just for anything with anyone. He used to brag all the time that he was on a long distance call and talk for an hour.

In about 2005 he was diagnosed with cancer and they found a brain tumor on the right side of his head .... the same side he held the phone all the time.

The only thing they could determine was his phone use ..... and the fact that he most likely overused the thing.

Mobile phone radiation is non-ionising. There is no known mechanism for it giving you cancer. Regardless of mechanism there's ample research on the topic, and no sign of a link

She’s still working in the same career field: Pretend Presidential Candidate That Funnels Money Away From Local Races where Greens Could Actually Compete And Erode The Two Party Duopoly.

But was it the same in the 90ies?

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Microwave ovens are also non-ionising. Non-ionising radiation can cause things to heat up, but lacks the subtle damage that ionising radiation can do.
