This is actually really helpful it makes your keys be wrapped in aluminum foil and that's pretty helpful because it makes your keys be wrapped in aluminum foil

[-] kinkles@sh.itjust.works 91 points 2 months ago

I was really skeptical about this, but after a few weeks I realized my keys were wrapped in aluminum foil and I actually started feeling safer

It keeps the microplastics from infecting your penis in your pocket.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Not my pocket penis!

[-] whiskybourbon@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Jokes on them. I quit carrying my penis in my pocket ages ago

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

One of those detachable penises eh?

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago

No way, the new one with the vibration function?

I'm jealous.

How do you know that i’m carrying a spare penis in my pocket?

[-] Juice@midwest.social 35 points 2 months ago

I was skeptical, but when i wrapped my own keyfob in aluminum foil, I discovered that not only was my keyfob wrapped in aluminum foil, but also there was a wrapping of foiled aluminum on my keyfob! Total success!

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

I do it with everything now, even potatoes.

[-] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 10 points 2 months ago

Perfect for microwaving them to make a 1-day blinding stew

[-] Juice@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

A little aluminum foil, a little keyfob, you could get a stew going!

[-] Juice@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Potatoes are such a good idea because you wrap them in aluminum foil, cook em. And then the foil like qualities of the aluminum pass into the potato so I eat all the white stuff leaving potato foil, so one can actually take the aluminum foil I cooked the potato in, make it into a ball, place it inside the potato foil, and then wrap the whole thing in aluminum foil making an aluminum foil potato wrapped in potato foil wrapped in aluminum foil!

Now you know what to make cherished loved ones for presents

Either I have covid brain fog, or pseudo dementia induced by depression, or both. I really was so thrown off.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Big if true

[-] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 107 points 2 months ago

At least this one is fake. Not like the Flock Camera one where it turned out that they actually each have about 2.4lbs of copper and 0.28oz of gold.

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 88 points 2 months ago

P.S.A. flock cameras do not have 2.4lbs of copper and 0.28oz of gold in each. They actually have 2.4 kilos of copper and 280 grams of gold in each. Just smash one to bits and see for yourself!

[-] a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

And natural, princess cut diamonds. Don't forget those.

And your parents accepting and being proud of you in a way that is tangible, repeatable, and transferrable.

[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Now i know it's fake

[-] shininghero@pawb.social 41 points 2 months ago

Isn't there a thing where car thiefs use an RF booster to make newer cars think the keyfob is right next to the receiver?

Personally, I'd want an antenna on/off switch that gets activated by shoving it in the keyfob hole. Seems reasonably secure.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 months ago

If we do something like that, we can also reduce the size and change the material. Just for ease of use, maybe something thin and metal, like this?

[-] shininghero@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago

Heh, it's on the right track. But as an IT guy and tech nerd, I'd want to go for something like this. I've even set mine up for computer logins back when I had an Active Directory test environment for learning.

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Nono, you see that would actually be user serviceable and convenient for the consumer!! You're fired Smith. Johnson, tell me again about your llm powered brain mounted key fob with ad injection and $20 a month subscription? I love it! You're promoted!!

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

That would never work, where's the battery even supposed to go? ;)

[-] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago

Maybe just use an rfid coil in the ignition and turn a key to start like immobilizers have done for like 20-30 years at this point.

Better yet use physical contacts in the key and use an on key cryptographic controller to do public key authentication.

That way key material never leaves the key itself after being manufactured making it basically impossible to steal the car without the key.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago

That also solves the problem of the dealership needing to continue charging hundreds of dollars to replace a lost key.

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

This is why they did it ya know.

Squeeze every drop out if the consumer you possibly can

New cars fucking suck.

Oh god I always hated those cars that start by pressing a button. Fuck off let me turn my key. I like the thing where the car unlocks automatically if you are next to it and all that but for the love of god the press button to start car thing needs to die.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Yes, but you can usually just disable the proximity unlock feature on the car itself if you are worried about it

[-] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

You think someone wrapping their keys in aluminum foil are going to know how to disable proximity unlock?

Thieves can leverage the "Keyless go" or "Keyless start" technology to effortlessly steal your car. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/thieves-steal-cars-without-keys

[-] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago

But does it work with the foil? We found lots of metal containers didn't block the signal. Hell even a pouch advertised to do it still worked.

Thick metal containers with over lapping lids worked best.

[-] parzival@lemmy.org 10 points 2 months ago

I tested with bolt EV, 2019?, model, because while the keys are in my house they would still allow kryless start to my car in the driveway. 2 layers of crumpled aluminum foil worked to fix it from ~15 feet away

Moar people are putting Vics Vapor Rub on their balls, what secret method are they hiding?

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Put pure menthol on your balls. Use it on your sounding rod. You will definitely not regret it.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago

i tried this , it's a new testicle maxing technique from Andrew Taint, ended up at 4am dipping my balls in a bucket of ice cream gasping "oh blessed Jesus , so fucking good!" Alas my wife and daughter opened the door to the kitchen to see what all the noise was about, seeing me spread eagled and naked on the floor, my balls in a tub of ice cream, my daughter looked me in the eye and slowly her eyes went dead, she and my wife said nothing, packed up and left there and then.

I did however notice i needed to clean under the refrigerator

"Big Aluminium" counts on conspiracies to sell, sell, sell.

[-] njordomir@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Now when I lose my keys I just shine bright spotlight into the room and look for the flash of alu foil.
