Edit: to be clear, do not do this. This is bad advice. Get your soil tested before you start a garden.
Can engine oil not be repurposed for other things? Like burning it? Or is that stupid
Just aqua teen things
Relax guys, it's just the new Mt Dew flavor, Radical Radium.

Hey guys I found the next superfund site!
Last time this was posted I went down a rabbit hole of reading about the Nuclear Boy Scout David Hahn
Mister Americium himself?
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.
Twinsies! I use empty pallets for weight!
Absolutely love the detail of having the picture all fucked up from the radiation.
thank you. I'm so used to people resposting ancient pixelated memes that I completely missed it.
I want to drink it
That's just the formula for mountain dew.
OK, but I will just add some H2SO4, D2O, and NaNO3 just for better taste.
Amateur, you need to pulverize the smoke detectors first or the americium just stays inside them!
Modern problems require modern middens.
Forbidden hot tub.
Dudes over here tryna create Stalker anomalies.
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. :(
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.
Should have thrown a bolt in there first, just to be safe.
I hope they fall in one night.

Bonus: the photo was taken with a film camera and the graininess is from all the radiation.
Noise: digital
Grain: film
Digital camera also get funky with radiation: GoPro Ride Through an Electron Beam Irradiator at Full Beam Power / @andrewseltzman9280/ youtube.com
Does non beta-radiation have the same effect? (Especially gamma rays which don't even have an electric charge)
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 ?
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.
Well, it WAS impressively shielded as well.
Super cool. Working on some ebeam sterilization stuff through contractors. Cool to see the nuts and bolts.
It's kind of crazy how the electron beam looks like a special effect from a 1980's sci-fi movie.
why the dogfuck did they not illuminate the hallway the camera goes through
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.
Why would they? Humans aren't supposed to be there
for the same reason they sent a camera into it... to assist with visualization 🤨
But you can see the radiation beam perfectly easily without illumination so what's the actual problem
the lighting should be consistent throughout the experiment so that the effect of the radiation cannot be confused with change in light levels. goodness, why would someone need that explained to them? you must not be the inquisitive type.
Very cool. Feels like it should be a level in Half Life.
Awesome
