The other day I was fooling arround with my Geiger counter and

Or maybe you encountered a small radiation packet from an industrial metal waste and thats what the gieger counter caught and you will die shortly from aplastic anemia :^)

hahaha what the fuck

Nukeshill is trying to condition people into thinking that worrying about radiation is retarded. Ignore and hide the thread.

>>8323185
But worrying about radiation is retarded.

>>8322650
>this happened

>>8323272
Not if you work in a nuclear power plant.

>>8323272
when will you fuck off?

He won't. He'll keep saying it until it weaves its way into the collective /sci/ consciousness, and enough idiots are parroting to make it self sustaining.

I can see it now "LNT is complete BULLSHIT, all radiation you could ever encounter in my arbitrary fantasies is COMPLETELY SAFE. The window hormesis is INFINITE (Yeah, that's right. I know that word, I heard someone mention it A FEW TIMES and now I DO TOO, because I'm AWARE and IN ON IT) and there is no DUALISTIC NATURE in the world! I bet they're just telling us not to go near the elephant's foot because of outdated MEME PSEUDOSCIENCE."

I'm leaving.

Wasn't LNT rejected recently? Disclaimer: I don't know anything about this and I acknowledge that LNT makes the most sense intuitively

LNT has problems, as does every other model that overreaches in what is clearly reasonable at the time as far predictive power.

The underpinnings of the LNT model make intuitive sense and are accurate, they're just misapplied and lacking key elements when you try to employ them in the bigger picture. Like I mentioned in my satire, the window for hormesis and effects that can be argued to net out as positive without much of any damage, is most certainly finite. The universe is not magic, and neither is the machinery of your cells. If a structure or piece of information is irreversibly degraded, the cell has little choice but to attempt to initiate apoptosis, and it could become cancerous if it's damaged in the the right phase.

It's dealing with probability, and that's it. By necessity it's limited. The chance of cancer from everyday radiation exposure is low, there are positive effects, but that doesn't make the chance of negative outcomes zero or remotely predictable outside of scenarios where you're practically evaluating single photons.
