And people rib me for having 3 screens. Yes yes, tell me how much cancer they are giving me per square second.

Cancer? From monitors? Is that a thing people believe? Do they think "the 5G comes from all them screens" ?

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Literal doctors trying to convince me that monitors emit cancer causing radiation.

I had to explain to a doctor what ionizing radiation was... And that's how I learned that doctors are just like every other profession. And there are just as many morons that graduated med school as morons that graduated high school (proportionately).

I'm guessing old CRTs. I've heard they can emit radiation if they aren't lead lined.

Wait what? They give cancer? Outgassing or something?

Outgassing

That would be me, sorry.

I have recently pared down to 4 screens and yeah, people take seem to get great enjoyment out of giving me shit. I've been receiving this very meme image for a good while. Not sure what triggered the re-run of this one in particular.
