@metin a third of the world say they didn't like sunburn anyway, others say we can certainly do without because we have electricity, others start to plan their infinite party night. Musk says he's going to negotiate with the aliens, and go in an offensive costume, drunk and tries to mate with some, when that backfires, he says it's fine, he can rebuild a sun anyway, it's basic physics, we have all that figured out.
@metin
Someone at my makerspace meetup was talking about the critically acclaimed "Three Body Problem", but the moment he started describing the synopsis where humans were making preparations centuries ahead of some existential threat, I just laughed. Humans today have demonstrated they are incapable of planning their own survival merely decades ahead, let alone centuries.
It was a lonely LIVE drawing session without Julián so I decided to fill up the void with Kermits! Lots and lots of Kermits! All Kermits, all requests! Let us begin with a warmup! #grickledoodle#drawing#cartoon#muppets#kermit#art#funny
While an interesting thought experiment, I always found the idea that a society would:
be obliterated
come back
find the nuclear waste
have the capacity to extract it
NOT have the capacity to understand it
AND still find the radioactive material is meaningfully dangerous (the higher radiation, the shorter the half life)
is incredibly slim. Put a skull on it and bury it all in the same place imo. IDK how you're going to get a more objective indicator of DEATH HERE than a skull.
@SirTapTap I can't help but think of all the "atomic" snake oil of the 50s where random products would have small amounts of radioactive crap added to them for vague benefits
Also mundane uses like hand warmers (alpha decay) glowing stuff etc
It would take folks a while to figure out "hey, these weird warm glowing rocks/metals will fucking kill you" if they're not sufficiently "hot" radiologically. Cancer is a sneaky bastid
