I've disabled them on my phone. They get spammed all the time for custody disputes in Florida so it's really a cry wolf situation. Really unfortunate that the state made them completely useless.
Ron DeSantis is somehow one of the least charismatic and most overbearing politicians America has ever produced, and yet at the same time utterly fascinating in all the ways his decision-making defies common sense if it advances his career.
Yeah I looked it up and apparently they use presidential alerts there which are supposed to be for apocalyptic emergencies only, so you guys are even more fucked than us in that department.
Yep, they got a buuunch of complaints too because the descriptions were actually useless. When they first implemented it, one had something like “looking for a middle aged man with brown hair in a silver suv or hatchback”
Everyone was just like 🫤
Oh no analog horror is crossing into the real world now!!1!!
But seriously, this made me realize the primary audience of analog horror is too young to even understand the references that inspired the genre.
Nah it was actually a red scrolling bar with the content playing in the background. The screen that you posted is actually the EAS screen that my new TV provider uses. Can't decide whether its scarier than the EAS screen on the meme
There's actually a rare black screen variant.

This one is for a Tornado Warning in Wisconsin back in 2020.
It's still used, just not tested as publicly on TV. IIRC there was concern about EAS causing panic when COVID got started, so they nixed the regular tests for television.
But yeah it's still actively tested behind the scenes, just in a way that doesn't forward it to your TV at home. They actually transmit the activation signal/message to EAS-compliant stations by radio, if anyone is interested. They transmit on 162.4/162.55MHz
First time that i recall seeing an EAS screen was in 2016, and it was possibly a required weekly test.

Here's a crude recreation of the screen i saw, made from memory, since i can't find that screen anywhere on the internet.
Oh yeah that’s what I mean, just that text crawl on the top of the screen with the audio playing. I couldn’t tell you the last time I saw a full screen take over like the old ones.
If. It was just called, If.
I feel like the movie that came out ripping off the setting of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends might've nuked that video's SEO if you try to look for it, though.
Back in the day, before smartphones, local TV was interrupted with certain Emergency Alert screens, accompanied with a high pitched noise. Basically was a jumpscare any time there was a tornado warning, an amber alert, or even just a weekly test.
I’m pretty prevalent in SpongeBob memes in fact SpongeBob memes are my favorite memes but I think this SpongeBob bob meme is too millennial. So I’m gonna have to say I don’t agree with this SpongeBob meme. SpongeBob memes are suppose to be funny but this SpongeBob meme isn’t funny.

I’m from Canada where we can’t legally turn them off. It’s not even an option on our phones, the buttons just not there.

That way the qtards can think their weird fantasies about mass child abductions are actually real.
I feel that every time I get one. Mini heart attack, makes me want to throw my phone out the window.
Did you come from India?

Or not American...
TIL analog media only existed in America
Lol, what i meant is that ppl outside of America wouldn't get that this is a reference to real warings American government issues.
Wtf is analog horror? From the context here, I’m assuming it’s some skibidi backrooms shit for kids
Backrooms is the most popular series of analog horror, yes. It's predominantly just YouTube horror made to look like it's old analog media.
It's a genre of horror media centered around old stuff and analog media. Some are really good.
Is that a new series?
Fun Fact: That EAS screen (i think) stopped being used in 2019.
Yeah when this happened to me it wasn't that EAS screen but imo it looks scarier so I used it lol
Could it have been this screen? https://preview.redd.it/igbmfbymhf8d1.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=179cc9f9acb4a83545a09f0561ab23f5fa94bbc9

Nebraska's American Broadband
The screen is dependent on what EAS encoder the cable system is using.
I don’t think I’ve seen the full screen for years even before that, usually just the audio with the text scroll.

In my area the audio is all screwed up so it makes this terrifying sputtering sound.
It’s why I try to avoid anything scary at night. Makes more paranoid than I already am.
Where Timmy... ?
Anyone remember the Vsauce video with the EAS segment?
If. It was just called, If. I feel like the movie that came out ripping off the setting of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends might've nuked that video's SEO if you try to look for it, though.
That scared the shit out of me as a kid. Nowadays, I love watching EAS mocks in my spare time. Oh, how the times have changed.
These used to terrify me! I always grasped the TV remote in my hand at all times just in case this came on so I could turn the TV off if it came on
i can hear this picture >﹏<
what?
Back in the day, before smartphones, local TV was interrupted with certain Emergency Alert screens, accompanied with a high pitched noise. Basically was a jumpscare any time there was a tornado warning, an amber alert, or even just a weekly test.
The weekly test never landed on commercial time
12am
Who uses cable anymore, honestly? Amber alerts are on phones not TV to my knowledge

Not only are you wrong on both points, but you also used the word prevalent incorrectly.
