Mysterious colored dots on our mailboxes just showed up the last day or two. What are these about?

If you have a green dot, you are consumed with money, and therefore, a capitalist pig that must be shot.

If you have a blue dot, you are against clean air and water and will be sent to a re-education camp.

If you have one of every color, you are homophobic and will be sent to the rainbow camp of endless sodomy until you embrace your inner child.

If you have a red dot, you are already a socialist and safe.

Reeducation camp.

Google two words: Dots Mailboxes RIGHT NOW!

Government operatives RIGHT NOW seeding the internets with loads of disinformation about these dots. Google the words, wait 10 minutes, google again and there will be loads of new hits.

Black operations visibly at work doing it’s worst...

DAMMMMNNN.

Hmmm, I do not get any newspaper, but come to think about it, I get Barron's and for last couple of deliveries, I have found it in my driveway, instead of mailed to me and put into my mailbox by the postman. That may be it?

When you are removing the dot from your mailbox, you might want to do so very carefully to ensure the "dot" is as intact as possible. After it's off your mailbox and you are in a comfortable place, carefully examine the "dot" to see if it may have RFID. Scanning for coding contained in "dots" from a slow moving passing vehicle would not surprise me in the least. As to what type of information might be scanned if an RFID device is located in the layers of the "dot", I have no idea and it's anyone's guess.

Why would anybody want to read the NYT?

In fact, why would anybody ever have wanted to read the NYT?

“Now seriously, I was reading somewhere that either gangs or would be thieves have been using symbols to mark their marks. Such as an arrow means seldom home and an X means home all day, etc. “

Heck, now all it takes is reading “smart” meters to figure out a person’s routine, when they’re on vacation, etc.

That would like advertizing to the robbers they are free to break and enter.

Ask the subdivision they should know.

There are no dots on my mail box. Say it: There are no dots on my mail box.

There, no more problem. Keep repeating, There are no dots...

here you cannot put a newspaper in a mail box unless it has been mailed
Ad flyers hang in plastic bags on a hook on the post

No HOA to ask.

"what about suspend/vacation?"

Don't know, but since it is a much smaller group, I suspect that it is a continuation of the old systems with a printed or electronic list in the delivery vehicle.

They are secret markers for after the UN takeover. Red means “GUN OWNER HERE - PROCEED WITH CAUTION.”

[Arlis]

Right on, Rawhide...they put a yellow square reflective sticker below ours a year or two ago, as we’re in the bad yellow category......

Rip them off and see if you get a knock at the door.

I was thinking that.

Or better yet, get with your neighbor(s) and swap some, make some new combinations that aren't currently shown anywhere else. Be creative. Maybe even check the hardware stores, get some similar reflectors of different colors. Add a purple one.

I’m off the grid. I don’t have a mailbox at my home.

Bump!

I also.
