I occasionally shitpost on Oppo from my phone. That would support the “mistake” thesis.

Is there a ‘do not alert list’ I can sign up for?

Be sure to be in a busy public space when this goes off. Curious just how obnoxious it’ll be.

Turn off your phone for a while. It's my understanding that these alerts have a limited time window. If your phone is off during a Tornado warning, you don't get the warning when you turn your phone back on the next day.

“It should be reserved for true situations, true emergencies when we need to get the public’s attention...” But will probably be used in vain by an idiot.

I’ll first try to get Wisconsin to secede from the US and annex itself to Canada. If that fails then I’ll move to Canada

Its actually a fantastic idea. though I’m happy to have a mexican phone number today.
Also, to me Trump is “S
r. Trump” he’s
literally
not my president. Suck it, libertards.

I dunno, I’d say the current occupant of the White House is a true situation and
emergency... ;)

Just stick it in airplane mode for about 35 minutes.
My wife has a dumb phone. She won’t get this today. Lucky her.

1. Looked for link to Onion article; saw there was none.
2. Sighed heavily.
3. Went back to work.
Honestly, this may be a legitimate system set up for emergencies, like Amber alerts or flood alerts, but if there is something so bad going down that everyone in the country needs immediate notification, then we’re all screwed anyway.

Hot take: this is just the regular emergency alert system getting with the times. Nothing to see here.

I will be looking for a blocking feature. If I am going to die, a warning will just make me nervous about it. Just got to ride that wave into oblivion.

More and more these days, I'm starting to think that limited function flip phones are the real smart phones. I might be better off with one.

That’s going to be interesting if your driving at the time to suddenly hear a piercing tone, or if your on a call, wow.
Or walking whilst on a call with it to your ears (or illegally while driving), when it suddenly goes off, should be interesting.

I looked into that about 9 years ago, it's surprisingly difficult, you basically have to be either independently wealthy or have an employer sponsor you.

I’m ok with the concep, but only if it has a truly limited scope where the use is permitted.
Today was highly annoying though because there were three of us in a work truck. We each have a work phone and separate personal phone. We had six phones going off in a small truck cab. That was horrible.
