tin foil hat

[Spikesoldier]

i keep seeing this on the forums, whats it mean?

 

[DnetMHZ]

It's to keep the aliens(or whoever else is conspiring against you) from reading your thoughts.

 

[Encryptic]

It's a joke referring to the government/aliens/etc. reading or controlling your thoughts and wearing a hat made out of tin foil to stop them from doing so.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Something paranoid people wear to keep the government from influencing them via their Orbital Mind Control Lasers.

 

[lokiju]

Watch the movie Signs and you'll get it.

 

[ThePresence]

It means this guy, or anyone else that sees conspiracies in everything. It comes from the people who believe that the government is hiding aliens from us, they wear tin foil hats to protect themselves from harmful, mind-reading rays projected from alien spaceships and black helicopters.

An Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB) is a type of headwear that can shield your brain from most electromagnetic psychotronic mind control carriers. AFDBs are inexpensive (even free if you don't mind scrounging for thrown-out aluminium foil) and can be constructed by anyone with at least the dexterity of a chimp (maybe bonobo). This cheap and unobtrusive form of mind control protection offers real security to the masses. Not only do they protect against incoming signals, but they also block most forms of brain scanning and mind reading, keeping the secrets in your head truly secret. AFDBs are safe and operate automatically. All you do is make it and wear it and you're good to go! Plus, AFDBs are stylish and comfortable.

What are you waiting for? Make one today!

They hand them out in P&N

I've skipped the hat and just coated all of my walls, inside and out, with 10 layers of heavy-duty foil.

From the movie "Signs" where some of the main characters make and wear hats out of aluminum foil in order to prevent the aliens from reading their thoughts.

It's be around for years, probably started sometime in the 70's or maybe 60's. But here's a link to the Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie "An Effective, Low-Cost Solution To Combating Mind-Control"

It's true: **we tried to start a petition for an icon, then realized there were only 6 of us in there anyway, and none of us could agree on what shape the icon should be anyway.

But we still managed to flame each other pretty good, so it was a good P&N experience. **

**Me lying goes here**

A Note About The Shiny Side:

It can't be stressed enough how important it is to have the shiny side pointing out. This is needed because the shiny side is most reflective to psychotronic radiation, while the dull side can actually, in certain environmental conditions, absorb it. However, as is illustrated in the instructions above, it is also wise to complement this with a layer of foil pointing shiny side in. This will keep your brain waves, which are also reflected by the shiny side, from being picked up by mind-reading equipment. There is a small number of aluminum foil researchers who believe that this may cause an alpha-wave harmonic to build up in the skull resulting in memory loss or pseudo-religious visions, but their findings have never been replicated by the aluminum foil research community at large. Even if their findings are validated, the risk involved is small compared to the potential of mind-intrusion.

No no, it's much older than that.

Protect your brain from the waves man :thumbsup:

Oh, have to say also that the inconspicuous way to do this is line the inside of your ball cap with tin-foil...then 'they' won't be able to spot you as they do those with shiny crumpled beanies.

(turns hat inside out)

OMG! I've had it backwards all these years!

LOL, a website with instructions...

While certainly useful, I circumvented the situation entirely. A craniotomy, followed by a full evacuation of any neural matter. No mind, no foil deflector required.

And my monthly foil expenses are now nearly nonexistent - not to mention my neck pain completely stopped as my head is so much lighter now.

Not to mention chicks really dig a guy with a tin foil hat.

Some times you can never be safe enough.
