genuinely don't understand the purpose of emergency alert tests to phones

like… they don't warn you at all beforehand that they're going to do the test, so, like. if I don't receive the test alert, then how would I know if the alerts are broken

and like, clearly they don't need me specifically to receive the alert for the test

so like, it's solely a system to bother people with scary messages on their phones that they later read and see are just tests

@clarfonthey wtf, why would they not warn you before? we have a day each year for testing all systems
