Lots of fun war stories in this one, including [spoilers] magnetic bracelets making laptops think they're closed, monitors going off when you stand up due to static discharge from the chair's gas cylinder, and being next to the elevator.
- Nomentatus 4y agoAnd less fun ones, like the story that some American soldiers supposedly made Vietnamese women dressed in nylon stockings (to create static) walk well ahead of them on patrols to set off mines ahead of them, killing the women. Dunno if it's true but 'twas said.
- temporallobe 4y agoSounds like war crimes.
- mechanical_bear 4y agoSounds like made up nonsense.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoAnybody wearing anything would set off anti personnel mines. Or was this static supposed to setting of anti tank mines?
- pxmpxm 4y agoAnti-tank mines aren't a concern for people though, unless you happen to be in/around a tank.
