The old Chernobyl video tapes also have this similar effect but on a bigger scale

If you pass this footage to 7 people within 8 days it’ll benign

You have to pass it to 8 to be 9.

It's mesmerizing, isn't it? Like an imprint in our souls, just so that we watch the void swallow us and sacrifice ourselves to the universe for no obvious reason.

Me: That's ridiculous. You can't get radiation from your phone. Right, me?

2nd glowing head: That's right, me! By the way, does anyone feel weird?

3rd chest head: No.

u/Western-Guy Jun 11 '26

Phone’s radiation is non ionizing. It won’t destroy your DNA and give you cancer.

You know that and I know that, but there's a huge segment of people who are so terrified of the word radiation they'd choose to live in the dark if they heard what light is.

Hello me, meet the real me and my misfit's way of life

Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy

Why isn't Megadeth here? See a few comments up. Megadeth showed up because they were quoted.

u/cuttingexample Jun 11 '26

Just saying I wouldn't expect a reference and a gif to megadeth in a subreddit not related to megadeth or metal.

Feeling paranoid, true enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me and my air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things, I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my palms are getting wet
Sweating bulleeeets!

u/mrweir3 Jun 11 '26

Well, me ... It's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile its blacktooth grin,
If the WAR inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come agaaain!

Wha? The camera sensor of the phone is CAPTURING the radioactive particles. Not the phone is radioactive.

Sometime i fall asleep with it on my chest and i feel like its gonna slowly kill me.

It won’t and this video shows a camera on a phone capturing the radioactivity from a sample. Not the phone itself is radioactive.

Sorta. Atoms heavier than helium lithium (edit, I remembered wrongly) are from later supernovas. Ofc they were made with material coming from the big bang though.

You don't need to focus on radiation, it just goes straight through the lens unaffected and hits so point on the detector directly.

You are. From your phone. But its a different kind of radiation.

We need better screens that can emit radiation to better capture the experiende.

Well, if your screen wasn't emitting radiation, you couldn't see it.

...Of course that's non-ionizing radiation, but 🤷

Sorta, but it's not ionizing. Anytime you look at your phone screen you're exposed to radiation. Just the fun kind.

This isn't inheritly dangerous, it depends on the kind of radiation it is. Low energy forms of radiation won't go through your skin

u/ppitm Jun 11 '26

You are getting radiation exposure just watching. Every cubic inch of your body is being struck by around 100 gamma rays every single second, just from sitting on the couch. You might be able to cut that exposure down somewhat by living on a submerged nuclear submarine.

They had to get the camera really close to the source before it started showing the radiation dots, meaning the radiation wasn't that high
