In other words...don't waste your tinfoil because the tinfoilers are about to trigger a mega tonfoiler outbreak by circulating the kind of crap that is posted above.
Protip: Recently the most reliable was to spot a tinfoiler operating covertly was by the shopping cart full of toilet paper they were buying. Deep inside they know they are going to need all that TP cause they are full of *hit!
Rectal-cranial inversions are an epidemic! Luckily the medical system can easily diagnose the syndrome with a few simple screening questions.
I've had all for awhile now
5g is defently the root of the all this. of course that's why they want us to stay in our house so we'll be glued to our phone and get the coronavirus I'm sure of it but I don't even drink Corona I'm a Modelo guy all the way. Just look on top of party City City on 7th Street you see that enormous looks like end of days tower better get your hats armadillo wrapped with tin foil is the only protection.
