Relax guys, it's just the new Mt Dew flavor, Radical Radium.

Last time this was posted I went down a rabbit hole of reading about the Nuclear Boy Scout David Hahn

Mister Americium himself?

Absolutely love the detail of having the picture all fucked up from the radiation.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

thank you. I'm so used to people resposting ancient pixelated memes that I completely missed it.

Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.

Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don't even have an electric charge)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

I don't know. If the gamma rays are absorbed and converted to electrons in the photo-sensor, it could also cause noise I suppose ?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It's kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980's sci-fi movie.

Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aside from the film grain, I'm pretty impressed that the camera seemed to survive that and that the footage from it could be extracted like nothing of this nature had ever happened to the device.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

Well, it WAS impressively shielded as well.

Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.

why the dogfuck did they not illuminate the hallway the camera goes through

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

because only product being irradiated goes there. no human should be in that area. plus with the lights off you see the ionized air. that would probably be washed out with another light source.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would they? Humans aren't supposed to be there

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

for the same reason they sent a camera into it... to assist with visualization 🤨

Dudes over here tryna create Stalker anomalies.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There were weird spots on the trail I had never seen. Everywhere the trees completely touched and covered the ground there was a tiny fog bank. Kept thinking, "Go ahead Stalker. Try walking through it."

Nothing happened. :(

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Should have thrown a bolt in there first, just to be safe.

As a member of the Mercs and a friend of Freedom, I diagnose you with alcoholism. Lay off the vodka rookie, you dont need to drink the entire stock Sidorovich gave you even if he said it was a gift.

i have a backyard pile of cardboard boxes, tree branches, pulled up weeds covered with an agricultural tarp. every few months after the high natural pH of the local biome it all melts and become inhabited by worms and bugs, then i use it to make a new fun mound to my yard cosplaying as an iron age hill fort.

better than paying to give it to the waste management who do the same thing and then sell it to the city.

edit: two feet by seven feet big. away from the house near a green space.

Amateur, you need to pulverize the smoke detectors first or the americium just stays inside them!

That's just the formula for mountain dew.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

OK, but I will just add some H2SO4, D2O, and NaNO3 just for better taste.
