Correction: someone did a study at MIT about aluminum helmets, not tin foil hats. The important distinction being aluminum vs. tin.

Word to the wise: Only buy tin for your protective day wear, as it hasn't been proven ineffective at blocking radio waves by MIT, unlike aluminum. Stay safe out there!

Quick addendum: This is a bit. Don't come after me, Big Aluminum.

aluminum vs. tin

isnt most if not all tinfoilj just aluminum foil these days? It's one of the legacy terms that nobody really uses correctly anymore.

Obviously an Illuminati plot to prevent us from effectively shielding ourselves from their mind control.

There is also steel and gold foil. Neither is great for hats, but they're still options!

They could start wearing those lead vests radiologists put on you when you get an xray alongside the aluminum hats. We know those definitely block radiation at least. Maybe a combo would make it block mind control rays extra good.

"Oh...no, no, no honey, the steel foil hat doesn't go with that outfit, try the gold one."
