Is that their explanation for their radioactive phones? ☢️📱

“Radioactive” implies ionizing radiation. The article you linked refers to electromagnetic radiation. Why are you spreading misinformation?

What the fuck kind of take is that lol?

Maybe you should read it. You do understand that electromagnetic radiation and ionizing radiation (which is what this symbol means ☢️) are different right? Their phones aren't radioactive, they emit electromagnetic radiation, similar to how a heater emits thermal radiation, and a speaker emits acoustic radiation.

Nah man I got bit by my radioactive cell phone and now I have powers.

Like having 5G service and receiving text messages to my teeth.

Light is radiation. So is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. What sorts of radiation are you taking about?
