The fucking title is
Bananas More Dangerous Than Fukushima?
[/QUOTE]
It’s a blog you moron…and it’s in the form of a question. From your article:
Anyway, lots of scientific stuff that you obviously glossed over and didn’t understand, especially considering that you didn’t even understand the title of the blog article you linked to as some sort of proof of…something. Let’s cut to the chase at the end:
You see, what he’s getting at is relative risk. Yeah, I know…too many big words for you to begin to comprehend. Oh, and go change your underwear, or at least stand up wind when I’m trying to explain something to you…

The article doesn’t say what you think it does. But even if it did, good and pass the bananas. At this point death would be preferable to having to endure the continued lunatic ravings you keep bumping on a regular basis. Good God man, let it go and give us a break from this cursed thread.
Because this is the Pit you fucking moron. It isn’t the place for reasoned discussion and logical discourse. Which is the only reason I can imagine that this thread is still alive.
Want a well reasoned discussion? Start a thread in GD. Want to give your opinion without what you feel is thread shitting? Start a thread in IMHO. I doubt you will though, as I imagine you would be the first to run afoul of the decorum and posting restrictions in either of those forums.
I’m more of a straight shooter. I will simply tell you to your face you are full of shit. None of that gaming the system, narcing about breaking the rules, or constant ass licking the toadies engage in.
You got that covered already.
We know. The thing is, just like the shitheads here who made the mistake, eating a banana (or any other potassium containing food) doesn’t change your risk at all.
The banana dose thing is complete bullshit. Using complete bullshit to make a point is not a good move.
You are too stupid to talk about this topic as long as you fail to understand the basic properties and concentrations of radioactive isotopes.
From the idiot blog
No, you complete waste of air, “Everything in nature is a bit radioactive” is so fucking wrong it’s beyond stupid. It’s a level of idiot spew that defies any definition of stupid. It’s quantum idiocy, it’s a the big bang of stupid.
For starters, air, good old normal air is NOT FUCKING radioactive at all. Same for water. That’s right. In fact you can’t even fucking make water radioactive no matter how hard you try.
Oxygen, Nitrogen, CO2, it’s not fucking radioactive. Yes there is a small bit of Carbon14 but you are breathing out the same amount you take in with eating food, but it’s not fucking dangerous.
But there is no such thing as radioactive oxygen, the shit you actually breath. Same for water. Water is not radioactive.
To say “Everything in nature is a bit radioactive” is like shooting yourself in the nuts at the beginning of a fight. You lost. Bye bye idiot child.
And you dumb fucks that read that blog post and don’t get it, you are ten times worse. You should fucking know better.
The irony, it burns.
Sorry, there IS radioactive Oxygen; tiny ammouns, but there is.
God thats fucking funny. I don’t think there is even one single “fact” in that whole list that is actually true.
No you fucking idiot, even when you try to make oxygen radioactive, it decays so fast it doesn’t mean anything.
I guess the part about “in nature” didn’t click with you. He is saying “in nature everything is radioactive” which if you bothered to read your own link you would realize is true. There is no natural radioactive oxygen.
Oh sure if you bombard oxygen with radioactive material from a NUCLEAR REACTOR you can make a little of it radioactive for a few seconds, or if you really fuck it up for a few minutes, but it DOES NOT FUCKING exist in nature.
Same for water.
Actually, I think what you’re trying to say is “the hypocrisy, it burns”. I presume you’re implying that Zeriel is actually the one who is “too stupid to talk about this topic”, so his statement to you is hypocritical.
Irony would either require he said something whilst meaning the opposite or that he was describing a tragic outcome that was provoked by his own actions, or that he was feigning ignorance to get you to respond in a way he desired.
This thread makes it quite apparent you’ve no interest in actually learning anything about nuclear power, radiation risk, and the risks of other energy types…how about we at least try to explain basic grammar to you.
If you can’t grasp the banana fallacy, why would anyone listen to you about anything?
Kids, here it is again. Eating a banana, or any other food containing potassium, does not make you radioactive. No matter how many you eat.
The potassium level in your body is self adjusting. the 5,000 radioactive decays an hour in your body from potassium are spread out over a huge amount of mass, and while it is natural background radiation, your body knows well how to repair such minor damage.
But just a fraction a gram of real radioactive material, like from a reactor or spent fuel rods, causes local damage to your cells (if you breath it or eat it) on a level that is not only a million times higher, but all in one place, and your body has a lot of trouble with that. It’s why cesium and iodine and the really dangerous shit inside a reactor is so dangerous, and why we really don’t want nuclear material burning, exploding or steaming out of a nuclear reactor into your world.
The hot spots recently found inside a metal pipe outside the reactor buildings are so dangerous if you just stand near it for a while you will die. If you stand right next to it you start to die right way. (and this is through thick metal pipe)
That is the material that got out into the Japanese landscape, and while diluted and spread around, it’s still dangerous bad shit. (it came from venting the buildings through the stacks)
Bananas on the other hand, will not hurt you.
In an unrelated bitchfest
Fuck you
Not true.
If everybody here who thought you were an idiot regarding most things nuclear/radioactive shoved a banana up your ass you’d explode like a fucking H bomb.
Kids, don’t listen to idiots who try to scare you about food. The potassium level in your body stays the same. If it doesn’t, you got serious fucking problems unrelated to the small background radiation levels.
You can eat ten bananas a day and it won’t hurt you a bit.
OK you might get the shits, but the radioactivity of food is very very small. Not like the soil around Fukushima, which is so contaminated people can’t live there with out getting cancer. Guaranteed.
Some places are so bad you will get sick before you get cancer. It’s why there is a problem. No matter what bullshit the con men try to sell you.
Oh we know, we know.
