Kinda the opposite, really. This guy is literally causing the pests (rats, not children) of the modern city to avoid him, not be attracted to him and follow him out of town to The Children’s Crusade.

I love how the title says around 99. When it’s not accurate, they could have written around 100 lol.

It’s “wheeled around”, not “around 99”.

Oh I see I don’t know how to read. But what psychopath buys 99 phones to wheel them around and doesn’t buy the 100th one?

It’s not really unclear. One does not “wheel” a phone, and “around 99” makes no sense with such a precise value. And it’s not even funny misinterpreted so awkwardly.

I feel like a backpack might achieve the same thing

I assume Google detects if you’re walking with your phone, so that walking people don’t mess up the traffic jam feature. And that dolley tricks these phones into thinking they’re in a car.

I was under the impression that Google made that calculation based on average speed. But there may be something to that. Maybe it’s both.

You say that like there’s something wrong with a wagon.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the wagon!

I’ll take a wild guess that he maybe wanted to build distance between himself and the phones, especially if he does this repeatedly. For a few phones, radiation and tissue heating is not an important consideration but for 100 phones it might be.

I’d rather lug 30-40 lbs. of equipment around in a little wagon.
