FAIR ENOUGH XD

ahhh

I did eet

<:pepe_hang:460603218766987298>

People were using the same images to claim that these were 'wave graphs' showing all the 'radioactive water' being swept from Japan over the the Western seaboard

ahhh

I remember that

here we go

Fuck

lel

You know what? No

I ain't deleting it

The second one has slightly higher detail if you look closely enough

...just look

I mean it's also a H I G H Q U A L I T Y P N G

We both got it from Snopes

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/fukushima-radiation-scare-hoaxes

But I went to Google images

It's a pity there aren't more people to try and argue against the two identical images.

That could've been pretty entertaining.

They probably aren't actually identicle

XD

Mine is a png

Proof

The pixel... over there!

One is 0xFFFFFF and that SAME pixel on the other image is 0xFFFFFE!

It's CLEARLY DIFFERENT! XD

here's something you might enjoy, then

https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/6uptk2/request_fukushima_reportedly_dumping_300_tons_of/

```One of the main points they kept being alarmed about was that Fukushima was dumping 300 US tons of radwater into the PO every day.

After a bit of digging around, it would seem that the Pacific Ocean contains roughly 638,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg of water. After converting that to US tons and rounding down to zero, I got about 703,000,000,000,000,000 tons.```

```Regardless, does this mean that it would take over two quadrillion days for the entire tonnage of the Pacific Ocean to be replaced with water that has passed through the reactor?

In which case, all of the red flags I had at the very beginning seem somewhat justified, and these people are using the "300 tons per day" to sound scary, because 300 tons seems like a lot to Joe Average```

Spooky Nuclear

```If they are cycling water through the waste cooling pools at Fukushima at a total rate of 272 tonnes per day (which comes down to about 3.15 litres per second so that's actually a reasonable figure at least), it would take about 2.38e15 days to cycle the entire volume of the Pacific Ocean at that speed. This is about 6.516e12 years... or 6,516 billion years.

Considering the age of the universe is about 13.7 billion years, the age of Earth about 4.5 billion years, and Earth probably staying habitable for only 500 million years or so (give or take some millions of years) from now, I would say there is no reason to worry about the entire Pacific ocean getting "cycled through" Fukushima plant.```

six thousand billion years 🤣

It's not a bad read on the reddit

There is one thing I remind myself of.

well yeah, the whole point is how ridiculous the alarmism about Fukushima has been

I've always been fascinated by how chernobyl turned out.

Not to say that everything is fine and dandy, but people predicting a nuclear holocaust in the Pacific might be overreaching just a tad

Hmmm. I just had that stashed in my mental scare closet for ... how long now?

XD

Oh yeah.

I was more concerned about contamination of food sources.

someone in the thread mentioned that

```Direct radiation exposure isn't the risk, the risk is to fish. The primary risk of exposure to people is eating fish that have absorbed large amounts of radioisotopes.

But as noted, seawater is pretty radioactive already. Both naturally and due to lingering isotopes from atomic testing. Cesium (134 and 137) release is a problem with Fukushima as they are pretty long lived, but it's not a huge one.

The 300 tons figure is contaminated water, if I recall correctly we are talking milligrams or less of actual radioisotope release per day. I can't seem to find an article I read giving a release activity in Becquerels, but if someone knows I can calculate a mass estimate.```

Though it seems to be a valid concern, apparently there is already more radiation than I was previously aware of. I was aware of some, as well as pools of mercury, but it seems like it was already higher than I Was aware of.

And yes, Chernobyl has always been fascinating to me

Some of the apparent mutations seem interesting, like the larger wolves and such.

I think he did a few on Fukushima

There is some jackass who posted in the reddit under your name! Better fight 'em! XD

j/k

So I packed my car...

I'm basically ready to drive to my new home.

with weed

XD

lol

weed land

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

My new home in weed land! XD

lol

Ah shit, but seriously

The damn internet was supposed to be setup today

The postponed it for THE THIRD TIME for ANOTHER EIGHT DAYS...

So if I go, fuck all for internet.

My phone gets almost no signal.

Maybe I'll just sand the floors and put a couple layers of polyurethane

Make that fucker shine.

at least ur not pewdiepie

his internet took almost a year to install

Are you kidding?

no

I'd deal with that just for his bank account XD

But, yeah

the two are not connected

So that is definitely a bitch

Hey @PurpleFyrus

What if it DOES take them almost a year to install it? 😮

Can't those damn satellites be hacked some how? Where the fuck would I even begin!?

Man, I hate internet withdrawal.

You start to sweat and get all itchy.

Then your stomach gets all queasy

You should probably do it more often then....

No man... no... I need my fix

It's fine, I've got it undercontrol

I NEED A YOUTUBE VIDEO NOW!

XD

enriched uranium makes so much more sense now. I mean, it wasn't a total mystery, but it REALLY makes sense now.

<:what:382980756139409409>

The video reaps shared

scroll up

ahh

Get more?

God speed

❤ Reaps that is a gud vid and not totally boring at the same time.

Although this video does give me an idea for some fun projects.

Anyone ever see the research they did on artificially induced genetic anomalies in flies?

No no, what about doing experiments on something more interesting?

Like SPIDERS

Behold a potential specimen!

XD

Thought you'd like that.

There is one where it has an alligator on it.

My fucking god it is great!

lemme post it in memes... hold on...

I loved that one

Dear god it is so funny

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

I think I'm doing my 600 mile drive tomorrow as well.

No biggie

10 hours prolly

Ahh

100 miles is a cake walk

XD

That's like 45 minutes.

I mean, unless the cops catch you.

XD

Well... that would be like 125 mph or something? XD

It was a joke because I like to speed.

My speedometer tops out at 120

But it'll go faster if you push it

It isn't as fast as you COULD go

But it is still pretty damn fast and probably not a good idea if you are worried about the repercussions.

I go about 85 when I can

Yeah

Fucking victimless crime is what it is.

That is driving recklessly then.

And you should be held accountable

You don't go fast where you shouldn't.

Just use a little common sense.

That's what I hate about laws.

Not by default

Speed by itself is not

If you know the road, and traffic permitting

It isn't

Well, that does change things a bit

Still

I'm fine with that as well.

I never tail gate and adjust my speed to traffic

Hate tailgaters

It's people who don't know how to go with the flow properly that create the greatest hazards.

That, and people who hide in your blind spot or don't look when they change lanes.

too slow/fast in the wrong situation is definitely an issue though.

What is that?

Hmm

Strange

Got a picture?

https://youtu.be/zSGWoXDFM64?t=59

Does it look anything like this?

Now that is a really fast car

But the problem is it is hard to see on the road

**TintinFTW#7648** was cleansed from the server.

I see the problem

You arent a real man

XD

Until you drive 100

Mph

I wish speed limits were higher

fuck 80

Who gets on the highway and says, "I can't wait to SLOWLY get to my destination!"

Me

XD

lies

I have podcasts man

Wouldn't you rather listen to them at home?

And i also never want to be anywhere other than my bed

Does your bed drive?

So if i leave my house

That'd be pretty epic

Odgaf when i arrive

hmmm

Are you in bed now?

No, no it does not

And no

Im on my couch

hmmm

Its hot af and i dont have AC

ahh legit

So im on my couch cuz its leather

If it ever gets too bad take a shower in your cloths

Let them dry off slightly

Ive done that

Me too

Or

Better option

?

Put shirt

In freezer

It sounds humorous

Until almost stiff

And then wear

Its amazing

The nice thing about the shower is it works off all that core temperature

Yeah

Ice shit sounds gimicky XD

But cool shirt

Is better

Cool shirt bro

XD

Exactly

XD

Maybe I'll try that some day.

Its worth

I'll admit, it is a pain to shower IN YOUR CLOTHS and then WAIT FOR THEM TO BE THE RIGHT LEVEL OF DRY. XD

Still, it works very well.

Yeah, plus u can just rotate shirts

Not a bad idea

Have 3 u rotate

hmm

Every 20 mins

Yeah

You don't want water dripping off of you.

But you want to have enough to cool you off

Behold... the third state

Well, yeah

XD

Frosty

Is new state if matter

Of

Arizona

I'ma call that the Fyrus frost shirt ice nips strategy.

Is a dry state

Nah

Not my idea

I dun care

I like the name

It was King Gothalion

XD

He told me at a con

Besides, Fyrus rolls off the tongue more smoothly

So, he should've picked his name better.

XD

But KG js actually well known

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

Huge Destiny streamer

Ahhh

Not that i care tho

Yeah

Idgaf about streaming

It's entertainment

Sometimes

I just went to the first destiny con to help, and they were super understaffed

Eh

I don't care too much as long as it isn't in your face too much.

I just loved bungie for the glory days of halo

If they want to make money streaming, having a patreon and a few mentions isn't going to drive me nuts.
