OH: "we had a radioactive source dropped at the swap drop

a furry wearing a collar with a shirt showing a furry with the radiation symbol came to dispose of it"

most sentence ever

Public

@AtomicMaya I have questions

Public

@vengarioth @AtomicMaya 7 uCi (~360,000 Bq) of Americium 241. No idea where they came from or what they are. I just bagged them and locked them away.

Public

@tryst @vengarioth @AtomicMaya that... Feels like quite a lot of Becquerels

Public

@tryst @vengarioth @AtomicMaya Do all the spicy radioactive sources go into the same locker, and is it glowing yet 🙂

Public

@penguin42 @vengarioth @AtomicMaya Yes. I put them all together so that they can keep warm.

Public

@tryst polycule of radioactive element OwO

Public

@tryst @vengarioth @AtomicMaya Oh this was about the FIRST incident!?

(I saw the OP in this thread, then a few minutes later saw your toot with the specific device boosted...)

Public

@jima @vengarioth @AtomicMaya First and only orphan sources incident at EMF

@tryst @vengarioth @AtomicMaya Did anyone happen to drop off a beryllium knife at the swap meet?

Public

@tryst @vengarioth @AtomicMaya

Wish yah well handling that. 7 uCi ain't much but any quantity of alpha emitters can really fuck up your day too.

Public

@tryst @vengarioth @AtomicMaya I have to ask if the shirt was already being worn. Or if it was put on specially!

Public

@Jencen @vengarioth @AtomicMaya Pure coincidence. I also had one of work's branded baseball caps on as well.

Public

@tryst @Jencen @vengarioth

yeah, pretty much "most emfcamp sentence ever" that keeps on giving

Public

@AtomicMaya @Jencen @vengarioth On Sunday I went to put my jacket on and a network adapter flew out of the sleeve. EMF seems to have some kind of subliminal field that causes these things to happen.

Public

@AtomicMaya Spicy fire detectors

Public

@AtomicMaya I am in this toot

Public

@AtomicMaya

As radiochemist I have serious questions 🫣

But also a bunch of unserious ones 😁

Public

@AtomicMaya I guess I'm closer to becoming spider-man than ever
