    I get that these aren’t tech people. But there’s a serious gap in protocol that seems to give them the ol’ Whoosh.

    If I walked up on the street and asked to see somone’s dB? Lol

    If a mutual acquaintance asked for your number? I’d call you with their number.

    So would these non-techies. But put them on a machine and they seem to lose their minds.

    Psst, want me to help you? Just give me your dB. I’ll make it easy for ya.

    And they think that’s okay.

      I mean there are people out there who drink their own piss because someone on Facebook said it was healthy. Obviously there’s something about information coming from an official or official-looking (or sounding) source that just makes people do weird things. It’s not any different than people falling for scams, MLMs, alternative medicine, etc.

      Edit: omg remember the guy who injected piss into his arm during an interview? lmao

      Edit 2: I FOUND IT LMAO
