    I bought one branded as having Pokemon figures in it, but it had fucking Mickey Mouse in it.

    I’d be less angry with a demon core. (cuz I’d be dead and thus unable to feel anything)

    Occationally a minor fault in production would result in one of these beeing shipped. It’s no biggie really.

        That was a fascinating read! The 2 accidents surrounding it were very interesting to read about. They were both basic human mistakes that led to the ghastly consequences they unfortunately produced. The 2nd accident though, by Slotin–that was hubris. How could one have skirted such simple safety protocols? Dude was controlling a very very very powerful experiment with a screwdriver in his hand being all that stood between the team of scientists and a staggering amount of radiation… Then it slips! 👀

          Whats even more terrible about the second one, is Feynman over there telling him he was a fucking idiot for doing it that way and he (Slotin) was going to get himself killed.

            I think they were referring to it as “tickling the dragons tail” which certainly seems like a fitting description. It’s absolutely bonkers how much radiation exposure happened in that moment.

          They made a movie that dramatized the accidents really well:

          This is why we probably should be more careful when we do things that could potentially like, oh I dunno, open up a black hole here on Earth. I mean, it’s not like accidents never happen!! Oh wait… they DO!

          I can’t even imagine something so small being so dense that it weighs 6,2kg.

    Little know fact: an embryonic Russian egg sac just about fits inside a Kinder Surprise and shields it from scanners.

    Kinder Egg, now with a spicy surprise.

    But the problem is shipping that fucker enclosed, because all the logistic chain is going to be a pain in the ass. People dying off quicker than you can replace them.
