4G for what? They don't have internet openly available.

The heard that its used in the US to mind control people and read their thoughts.

Next month they have mandatory COVID vaccinations so that everyone gets the microchips as well.

That's 5G you muppet.

Everyone knows it is 5G! I can't get out of the house without my head covered in aluminum foil now.

I got the vaccine so now I have perfect cell reception! Always 5G everywhere. A week ago I lost 1 bar, so I think I should get a booster vaccination. Also, now I'm magnetic, I never lose my phone. Plus, suddenly I love my government so I'm not angry all the time. /s

I remember these with 4G too, although covid made the hysteria 10 fold.

Can't say I've heard that used like this before 🤣

Muppet is a classic British insult. Means dumbass.

Always happy to expand my arse-nal of insults 🤣

Also like how the "victim" probably upvoted his insulter. Y'all alright

Tourists, probably. That’s what their 3G network is for, if I remember correctly.

Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn't fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists' data

Tourists

They have that? Why would you go there?

I thought internet is mostly for officials and military in NK?

I'm not dumb enough to actually go but I get the draw. It's a fascinating place.

I'm not allowed to go, but I sure would love to see that dictstorship with my own eyes.

Well there is Dennis Rodman and other nuts that think he's great.

They have like 2 Million smartphones operating in NK and have some sort of network they allow people to connect to.

But Lemmygrad and Hexbear told me that they already have 6G? Uggh CIA propaganda smh

Stupid lib, obviously the DPRK is rolling out 4G as part of their humanitarian program for the breakaway region of South Korea /s
