The first meme I've seen on Lemmy that actually made me laugh. Nice.
I'm glad somebody laughed for us today.
How to cure childhood ~~diabetes.~~
Play that long enough and you’ll get a third hand to help you out.
Let's be real. All it takes is one good swing and nothing will stay there to worry about hands.
Perfect to play “red light, blue light” with
So much fun you’ll fallout laughing
Cracking up so hard right now I may reach criticality
I think you're supposed to play with a screwdriver in your other hand for safety.
A really bright idea indeed. In fact, it flashes blue!
What is that thing?
The "demon core" was a subcritical mass of plutonium-239 that was used in two criticality accidents at the Los Alamos laboratory in 1945 and 1946, resulting in the acute radiation poisoning and subsequent death of two scientists. It was called the "demon core" because of these incidents.
To add to what OP said, the deaths were not immediate. In the first incident, the scientist conducting the experiment died 25 days afterward from acute radiation poisoning. "Acute" doesn't mean he suddenly had symptoms 25 days later. It just took that long for him to die after he got radiation poisoning.
The nearby security guard died 33 years after the incident, though his death (acute myeloid leukemia) can also be attributed to that incident.
The second incident with the demon core involved at least eight people. One of them died nine days after the incident. The other seven lived for several years. Of those seven, at least three of them died from complications related to the incident (such as leukemia or other causes). Of the remaining four, one of them refused to take part in any medical studies, and their medical records were withheld from them. Another died in the Korean War four years later. Two of them seem to have died of natural causes, or at least the cause was not specified.
I left out the suffering details. Honestly all the radiation related deaths are horrific. That's what I learned from the Plainly Difficult YouTube channel.
Yeah it's basically your entire body failing, that's not great to say the least
Or as it'd be called in LatAm, "El balero del diablo"
