5g and wifi enabled overheating device, tracking your movement, heart rate, blood oxygen while consistently reporting your location and recording all surrounding noise and conversations, implanted directly onto your wrist

Fr I know it's pointless but I like to do it anyway to vent

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 6 points 10 hours ago

Venting and getting a sympathetic word and seeing other people vent and agreeing with them is the closest thing we have to a consensus reality in the face of these know-nothing "health" advocates I swear to christ

[-] AmbientDread@midwest.social 79 points 18 hours ago

Isn't this the same clown car contingent that thought the Covid vaccine was a cover to inject a secret microchip into everyone so Bill Gates could track us?

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 79 points 18 hours ago

Oh yeah, track my vitals, you'll see I'm as healthy as a house cat and stay at home just as much as one

Pay no attention to the person leaving the house, the tracker shows I am clearly in there

[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago

We are very concerned that you have spent the last 18 hours motionless by a sunny window and you appear to have a fever that is consistently over 101 degrees.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago
[-] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago

I asked around the department if that is a legitimate thing and they just sort of stared at me and blinked, so carry on.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 65 points 19 hours ago

Health insurance salivating as they look at car insurance companies charging higher rates for people that let monitoring devices track their driving and wondering how they can get in on the action.

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 43 points 19 hours ago

My shitty health insurance company keeps pestering me to use their wearable. Hell naw badeline-disgust

"Your chemo therapy has unfortunately been declined as we have records you haven't been getting your steps in."

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 5 points 14 hours ago

I swear I heard about something like this a few years ago. My memory is way too vague on it to overpower Google's enshittified search at the moment but I think it was in one of the Virginias and involved teachers (maybe?) getting cheaper insurance premiums if they went to an approved gym.

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 8 points 13 hours ago

if anybody needs to get low-jacked with a device that generates constant biometric data for society to study and develop a strategy to stop, it's this guy and his hitchhiker.

[-] buh@hexbear.net 29 points 17 hours ago

Literally the CHUD conspiracy about vaccines having tracking chips

You want to make Americans healthier and you could either take on the agricultural industrial complex, surburbia, and the lack of third places, or you could just buy more devices and juice the stocks of some electronics manufacturer. I know what I'd pick

[-] MarxOverflow@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 17 hours ago

Pretty sure the easiest way to make people healthier is universal health care.

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 5 points 14 hours ago

The corn syrup must flow corn-man-khrush

[-] sexywheat@hexbear.net 42 points 19 hours ago

The fuck is a "wearable"? A wearable what?

[-] AmbientDread@midwest.social 2 points 3 hours ago

A wire up the keister 😳

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 35 points 19 hours ago

Like a smart watch that tracks your vitals but even the ones that just record your movement/steps aren't very accurate.

[-] BanSwitch2Buyers@hexbear.net 16 points 17 hours ago

We need to end corpo-speak.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 20 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

"Pantaloons" shrek-blob

^hehehe^

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 30 points 18 hours ago

No can do on giving you back your medicaid, best I can do is a smartwatch.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 26 points 18 hours ago

sicko-intrigued I didn't know Bad Dragon was one of his sponsors. Totally NSFW Horni

[-] shallot@hexbear.net 16 points 17 hours ago

Oh wow they even have one for crackers

[-] Des@hexbear.net 8 points 18 hours ago

i wonder how many sensors you can fit into those?

[-] tripartitegraph@hexbear.net 20 points 18 hours ago

"sporting a wearable" sounds like a euphemism

[-] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 14 points 17 hours ago

Government issued tracking devices woudl be cool in a government that wasn't evil.

[-] Monstertruckenjoyer@hexbear.net 17 points 16 hours ago

Zero chance it doesn't get abused at some point by some body lol. Barring star trek future, no thanks

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 14 points 15 hours ago

I think even in star trek they don't just track people. All those episodes where someone sneaks off or gets kidnapped wouldn't work if their badge was an always-on tracking device

[-] Monstertruckenjoyer@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago

Yeah it's consensual tracking, they turn it on or off. It's a beacon

Ok...worm stuff aside, maybe he had some kind of mental breakdown or something and thinks he is the anti-christ? And this is some kind of "mark of the beast" thing he is trying to do? That's the only way I can make sense of this, that he thinks he is to bring about the apocalypse and has resigned himself to the role.

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 16 points 18 hours ago

RFK advertising smart watches makes me actively not want to own one

[-] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 16 points 18 hours ago
[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 13 points 17 hours ago

Mark of the Mr. Beast.

[-] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 15 points 18 hours ago

Jeez us fookin ...

The "G" in CGM stands for glucose and ONLY measures blood sugar, you brainwormed idiot!

fedposting Someone please stalin-gun-1 this fucking fool!

[-] T34_69@hexbear.net 5 points 14 hours ago

Someone please do the thing

[-] LangleyDominos@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago

CGM are a godsend, it sucks they're fairly expensive. I was paying $85 a month for two meters. That's no insurance. Finger pricking is still the cheapest option. Maybe use federal authority to bring down prices? Nah, let's back a single company and pump them full of subsidies so venture capital can snatch them up and turn their product to shit.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 10 points 18 hours ago

watch them make every american buy a smartwatch out of their own pocket from whichever company paid trump the most money

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 8 points 17 hours ago

Trumpwatch. It checks your vitals but gives bonuses for burger.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago

But the data will say you’re full of shit lol

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

CGM are in fact wonderful technology that contribute to a higher quality of life for people who need to check their glucose levels, a broken clock is right twice a day. Given the levels of prediabetes in the US, it would be in at least 50% of people’s interest to wear one.
