The 'Cellphone Tower Radiation Effects' meme is a satirical take on the fears surrounding 5G and cellular infrastructure. The original graphic typically shows a diagram of a human being 'affected' by radiation, resulting in a distorted or glowing figure. On the internet, this template has been repurposed as a way to mock how certain hobbies, fandoms, or social media platforms seem to 'rot' the brain. By labeling the tower as a specific influence and the resulting figure as the fan or user, it highlights the perceived absurdity or extreme nature of niche communities. It is a staple of ironic humor, frequently appearing on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) to comment on modern digital culture.
