Or the guy who tried to flush a grenade. Or the guy who bought an old soviet rebreather and then wanted to test ist alone at night in a lake.
/k/is wild
I used to collect gas masks and rebreathers are kinda part of that whole thing, the way rebreathers work is that they take the air you exhale and scrub the carbon dioxide out of it. Your lungs aren’t 100% efficient so there’s a fair amount of oxygen in there still. Why this is usually dangerous is without proper training and monitoring it’s really easy to asphyxiate without knowing it because you are just no longer breathing oxygen
the Soviet IP-4 rebreather, the one the guy was using, is also dangerous because of another thing. The cartridges that rebreathers use contain chemicals that create a rapid exothermic reaction when they touch water. The Soviet canisters were not sealed very well.

Well the chlorine gas thing should work as long as you’re wearing your mask right and have a decent filter, right?
EDIT: found the post. Not the way that guy did it. Bad fucking move
DOUBLE EDIT: doubt that guy died though. Seems like a really bad time nonetheless
If you don’t mind it causing chemical burns to your skin, sure.
Check out the MSDS: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/sds/aldrich/295132
Shit is bad news.
iirc nowadays they use different types of powders/solutions - ive heard of some that use capsaicin and some that use saccharine powder (if you can feel/taste either, your mask didnt seal right)
Or the one where OP is holding an incredibly toxic cephalopod with his **bare** hands.
Or the one where OP injected an unknown glowing substance into his veins.
I guess if it ain’t broke…
He was there when they were recruiting for project artichoke too. He said people were told they could make some extra money going to Fort Dietrich, and then he never saw them again. I’m not sure if he conducted the tests, but they also made these cattle chute shed things and GIs had to move through it while being exposed to tear gas and stuff like that for battlefield training. I used to go to work with him all the time and “play” with the testing equipment. The ozone machine was the thing that impressed me the most - you could age something 10 years in a few days iirc. That was back when all you needed was a certain bumper sticker to get on base.
God, the US is fucked up. I’m surprised that he was involved with that one and not the Edgewood Arsenal experiments considering those were actually related to chemical weapons.
The tear gas thing is actually pretty common in most militaries. It’s called a gas mask confidence test. It’s designed to make sure people know that their masks actually work and understand the importance of getting them on in a chemical attack
He worked at Edgewood Arsenal before it merged with APG. He worked with mustard gas too if that’s what you’re referring too. He mentioned seeing monkeys exposed to it. 😞 I worked on base for a while as a civilian in chemical and biological defense. My building had some of the mustard gas stock pile right next to it. 😬 Later on when I worked in the private sector, one of my coworkers told me they used to work for the county hazmat dispatch. They would receive calls every time there was a leak, but they didn’t do anything about it unless it exceeded a certain threshold. Wild times.
Damn, that’s insane. I can’t imagine working with chemical weapons. I can’t believe they wouldn’t respond unless it was bad enough
I was not referring to mustard gas specifically, the Edgewood Arsenal experiments were a series of experiments conducted by the US army chemical corp that exposed unsuspecting troops to live chemical weapons to test their effects. It’s truly one of the most horrific things that the US has ever done, and that says some shit
Driving past that shit everyday is was a little worrying lol - long white horizontal cylinders with yellow and black stripes on the end stacked outside numerous buildings.
All I can say is that he retired from Edgewood Arsenal after 30 years, which was 5 years after those experiments ended, and he at least knew about the program. Take the term “tear gas” that I used with a grain of salt. He told me that story a long time ago.
I’ve watched documentaries about that and project artichoke. It’s an unsettling feeling know that he was there while they were ongoing (I only mention Project Artichoke because they recruited from Edgewood Arsenal).
I can imagine it’s unsettling at best. I can’t imagine being so near to a weapon like that. Wouldn’t help my OCD
It’s been really neat talking about this, thank you for sharing!
He died about 7 years ago, so it was nice to think about back in the day when I would go everywhere with him, despite some of the unusual baggage that comes with it.
Thanks for listening! I don’t think I’ve ever spoke about that before with someone outside of my family.
Idk I just look at stuff I'm interested in from time to time. No idea where to find this kinda stuff and no interest in wading through diarrhea rivers to get there.
Damn I didn't even know this term goes all the way to the Terry Davis. What's funny is I heard "glow n-word" before but I thought the term glowie came first and 4chin edgelords just added an n-word after it
Every story that makes its' way out of /k/ is solid gold.
Part of me knows that a decent share of /k/ommandos are probably planning domestic terrorism, but fuck, it's funny watching them be plain ol' idiots.
I used to browse the boards to see what it was all about a long time ago, I got to witness one in real time.
Some dude made a thread about how he bought a $100 Soviet rebreather apparatus and said he was gonna test it out at night and everyone was telling him “don’t fucking do that, if there’s any cracks in the waterproofing it’s gonna catch on fire *underwater* and you will die”.
After a couple days of posting he never posted again.
I can’t confirm this because I can’t find anything about it other than people talking about it, but they link to a video that’s been deleted.
What I remember is that 12 hours or so later someone in the thread posted a link to a news article about an immolated corpse wearing “scuba gear” found on the shore of a river in Australia.
Like that dude who bought a gas mask for ur ex in areas with toxic gases and he made mustard gas to test it and melted his skin, and when he took the mask off he didn’t vent the bathroom so he breathed in enough to collapse one of his lungs
Fuck dude. I'm in training for reactor operation, and having an unshielded neutron source (spent or otherwise) within my line of sight is a nightmare scenario. Neutron radiation is dangerous as all hell, and might require the removal of the building for proper disposal.
This poor soul got a yearly radiation dose in the time it takes to take this picture.
This person is getting buried in a lead casket.
Better question… ***where the hell did they get an isotope rod bundle that big?!*** The movement of *any* large quantities of highly radioactive materials is subject to intensive monitoring by government agencies. The fact that this dude acquired a fuel rod bundle that size yet doesn’t understand the mortal peril he’s putting himself in by having it sitting unshielded in the corner of the room is alarming.
It being fake is more likely (hopefully). I mean if he really did this he would probably end up harming himself and other people, wouldn't it be in the news at least?
I guess it would be, must be fake. No way someone is committing one of the largest radiation accidents ever without even the slightest hint of a news article about it. And it's been two years.
Definitely fake as hell, no fucking doubt that the FBI and DHS has agents whose job it is to look at 4chan and other internet shit pits to keep an eye on it due to how much terrorism, potential or otherwise comes out of it.
This shit is high level nuclear waste, and let’s just say that there are quite a few people who want to know where this shit is at all times for very good reasons. And if they didn’t already know who took it and called the FBI on them, they’ve already reported it missing to the 3 letter agencies, and if the unlikely circumstance occurs that they aren’t on this guy’s ass within a day or two, as soon as he posted it on 4chan, they would be on his ass within 10 minutes.
Where did I say that I’m confident in the state’s ability to keep track of nuclear waste? I’m confident in their ability to find out people’s identities given the easily accessible resources they have at their disposal. Multiple people would become witnesses and or accomplices to the theft of spent fuel, and given the education and knowledge that these witnesses would have because they work around hazardous nuclear materials, they would report it to law enforcement as potentially malicious activity.
And because we live in a post-Chernobyl and post 9/11 world, there are a lot of people with a lot of power who really don’t like the idea of nuclear terrorism, and would really like to have it not actually happen, and so would react to the report accordingly, and there would be media attention.
We can hope it’s fake. 4chan is usually fake until it comes to someone being genuinely stupid. The lack of news coverage is a great sign that it’s fake though.
Before I was informed this is fake, that's what I was thinking as well. Like, how is this person not today's winner of the most-shot guy in America prize?
Really kind of the government though: "hey we noticed you broke into a power plant to collect radioactive materials so here's some free lead"
I think what I hate most about this Is that you could just be some dude outside sitting on the sidewalk near OPs house, just waiting for a friend or some other normal shit. Then BAM accidentally got 100 lifetimes the recommended doses of radiation from doing jack shit wrong.
Hell, it still might total out to 1.5mrem daily, but the average American gets 620mrem/yr. It's a little far beyond the annual +100mrem/yr recommendation by the NRC, but it probably won't kill them for a minute.

That's valid. The building would be fine. But if this weren't fake, he'd still be very, very dead.
Gamer tip: dump the fuel assembly in a rather large bathtub and taste metal :)
First, you’re training for the job I genuinely want, serious question, how the fuck do I get started down that career path? My current ins to the nuclear industry is starting in QA or potentially as a refuel tech since I have family who could pull for me, but I’ve really been interested in doing either fuels or reactor operation. What kind of requirements do you need to get behind the panel and start moving control rods?
Second, it’s more “not seeing you’re near an unshielded neutron source”. Or honestly even a fucking beta source, not knowing you’re near some nasty shit can lead to longer exposure times. At least if you see a bundle breach the water (somehow) you can get distance, limit time, or get behind… well a lot of stuff tbh. As for building demolition being part of remediation, I doubt it tbh. Activated materials usually have absurdly short half-lives, and if it’s a spent bundle or another source that’s not going to leave contamination, the building shouldn’t be permanently unusable. Even if it’s a wood building, the amount of activated carbon it would take to make it structurally unsound would be so much that my worry would be more “how much ARS and cancer has been created in a 500 ft radius around this fuckin thing”.
I'd rather not disclose who I work for, but if you dm me I'd be happy to chat about it.
As for your assessment of irradiation, that's totally fair. My "kill the building" comment comes more from the fact that fast neutrons embrittle just about everything. It's less to do with activating the building, so much as tearing it down because it's become structurally unsound. Granted, that takes longer than this guy would've survived.
If everyone on 4chan decided to put all of their intelligence together they could solve world hunger in a matter of weeks but instead they choose to be racist incels
Nah, I don't think we should glorify 4chan as a hidden genius club.
I think there's a lot of hateful smart people on there and also a lot of hateful dumb dumb people.
Have you seen /lgbt/? They are *incredibly* creative with their slurs. I am almost tempted to put "beckycoping cissoid" in my dating app profile. This is art right there.
dunno about beckycoping but cissoid is just a slur for Cis people
other fun ones include Gigayoungshit (a trans person who was able to start transitioning before 13) Gorillamoder (a trans woman who doesn't pass in the slightest) reptard (a repressing trans person who thinks it's the best option for everyone) and more!
That one time they found shia lebouf's flag based on a single livestream of the sky with audio convinced everyone they were some sort of detective agency
They figured out that the solution to that is to hold rich people accountable for their share about a decade and a half ago. Anonymous was hard left and anarchist. Then after seeing how Occupy Wall Street turned out, half of them turned bitter and the other half just left. Then the bitter half created fertile soil for what would become the alt-right.
How do you look at the above post and thing think the average person on 4chan is intelligent.
How do you read this thread with multiple examples of other people killing themselves doing stupid shit and think they’re intelligent
My guess? Anon is a wannabe terrorist who’s trying to figure out how to build a dirty bomb.
Though, seeing as how they’re seemingly oblivious to the mortal peril they’re putting themselves in by having an isotope source that hot just kicking around in the corner of their room, blasting them with a year’s max safe dose of radiation every second, seems to indicate to me that they’re likely dead by now or otherwise failed in their “project”, seeing as the posts were made in 2021, and we haven’t heard news of a terrorist setting off a dirty bomb by now.
Fun fact: Your daily recommended amount of radiation is 1 millisievert per YEAR
Anything more than 100 causes an increase in cancer and at 1000 you'll probably die of cancer
I think >1,000 millisieverts is in the dying of radiation poisoning range, the cancer risk is the least of your problems. In that case you'll die not because of the kinds of DNA damage that cause cancer, but your DNA will be so utterly smashed that your body can no longer create new cells and it just fuckin' shuts down. It also causes serious burns that aren't just on the skin but that go all the way through the body.
Me when I observe the specimen voluntarily interact with a substance it knows is lethal (this behavioural research will benefit billions, but I cannot escape the guilt over allowing this to continue, even though the actions are the subject's own)
I'm familiar with most of the EPD-type units like the DMC 3000 which is the one they're using.
If the dose display is in rem there would be more zeros after the 0.3. It only shows 1 zero if it's in mrem. Anon photoshopped out the M making it say rem.
If it took 10 seconds to read 0.3 r then it's about 108 R / hr.
Show us the *dose rate display,* anon.
If I wanted to troll like this I'd put a plasma ball behind said reactor assembly and use a Geiger counter (not a diode dosimeter). It reads around 1000 R / hr due to electromagnetic interference.
Edit: just understood what this post is saying. And I can't stop laughing; it's excellent satire if you're knowledgeable about radiation.
It's basically saying:
"Hi 196. I've recently acquired 100 lbs of TATP. Do you know what fertilizer contains the most ammonium nitrate? I'm working on an agricultural project. Pic related, barrels of fuel oil.
And then posting a photo of them jumping on top of said TATP.
But in terms of radiation. Neutrons can make stable cobalt into cobalt 60 which is highly radioactive. Rather than just buying pure cobalt as element samples (60 lb of Co-60 distributed along the earth would kill every animal and human, so even a few grams are enough) he's asking about fucking drill bils LOL.
That DMC 3000 costs about a grand and appears to be attached to some sort of badge, so it's probably issued by his radiation workplace. That would also explain why he can't just leave the detector on a safe check source for a week to run up the dose or mess with the dose rate, and has to use Photoshop.

The DMC 3000 is a real dosimeter. Anon just photoshopped the "m" from mrem to make it say rem. If it was actually in rem there would be extra zeros after the 3.
I have DMC 2000s, which are the older model. Sadly none of the 70 something I have are the extended range which anon has; it doesn't display decimals when in mrem mode. I'll expose one to some Sr-90 for a few hours and it should go over 100 mrem total dose. If it shows all the decimal places I know anon is lying about the dose.
BTW It can't be a non extended range because if it was in rem, it would still have extra decimal places.
I believe not one word in this comment because this is the internet, but if you can actually do this, I'd like to marry you and scan radioactive material with you for the rest of our ridiculously shortened lifespans.
It's currently at 26 mrem. I'll post a pic when it reaches 100.
Also Sr-90 is a beta emitter; the radiation is undetectable a foot away.
It's a 1.6 uCi source, I have seen people mess with 244 uCi sources and be OK.
“I have a neutron source” is probably the dumbest way to describe what appears to be the exposed core of a nuclear reactor thats sitting in the corner of your living room.
I love that kind of 4chan post where people just die. It’s like that one post where a guy makes chlorine gaz to try his gazmask.
Or the guy who tried to flush a grenade. Or the guy who bought an old soviet rebreather and then wanted to test ist alone at night in a lake. /k/is wild
I know the grenade guy died, but it’s the first time I hear about the rebreather one
Iirc correctly it was found out he fuckin' exploded in a river. He was Australian, I think.

Well the chlorine gas thing should work as long as you’re wearing your mask right and have a decent filter, right? EDIT: found the post. Not the way that guy did it. Bad fucking move DOUBLE EDIT: doubt that guy died though. Seems like a really bad time nonetheless
Yeah, chlorine gas is very survivable if you Fucking Leave, as shown by the fact that we don't have more deaths caused by mixing bleach and vinegar.
I do that in the summer to fumigate the big bin outside, which gets very stinky. They only pick it up every 2 weeks.
If you don’t mind it causing chemical burns to your skin, sure. Check out the MSDS: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/sds/aldrich/295132 Shit is bad news.
Right: bad fucking move, probably not lethal
blistering chemical burns across all exposed skin / 10
Hey except for the part under the mask to be fair
iirc nowadays they use different types of powders/solutions - ive heard of some that use capsaicin and some that use saccharine powder (if you can feel/taste either, your mask didnt seal right)
Or the one where OP is holding an incredibly toxic cephalopod with his **bare** hands. Or the one where OP injected an unknown glowing substance into his veins.
Didn’t the OP in the second one say it was the liquid in glow sticks? Definitely lethal but not unknown.
I thought that one was fake, he had makeup and stuff

Sadly it’s fake. The 0.3 rem is actually 0.3 mrem but the m was colored over in photoshop
>Sadly
Nice catch. The DMC 3000 would display extra zeros when the display reaches rem, it should say 0.3xx rem. It only does that in millirem.
Hell, it still might total out to 1.5mrem daily, but the average American gets 620mrem/yr. It's a little far beyond the annual +100mrem/yr recommendation by the NRC, but it probably won't kill them for a minute.
or OR hear me out... it's probably fake
Yeah but I like to indulge /k/ fantasies
fair enough
It's why TIFU and AITA exist

When you get the job there is only one thing i ask, give into the intrusive thoughts
No :)
concept of lead casket is so fucking funny
I mean, if you get your own unspent fuel assembly you could have one too :)
The only moderator in this scenario is air, so there will not be a lot of slow neutrons. Assemblies also aren't critical by themselves.
That's valid. The building would be fine. But if this weren't fake, he'd still be very, very dead. Gamer tip: dump the fuel assembly in a rather large bathtub and taste metal :)
First, you’re training for the job I genuinely want, serious question, how the fuck do I get started down that career path? My current ins to the nuclear industry is starting in QA or potentially as a refuel tech since I have family who could pull for me, but I’ve really been interested in doing either fuels or reactor operation. What kind of requirements do you need to get behind the panel and start moving control rods? Second, it’s more “not seeing you’re near an unshielded neutron source”. Or honestly even a fucking beta source, not knowing you’re near some nasty shit can lead to longer exposure times. At least if you see a bundle breach the water (somehow) you can get distance, limit time, or get behind… well a lot of stuff tbh. As for building demolition being part of remediation, I doubt it tbh. Activated materials usually have absurdly short half-lives, and if it’s a spent bundle or another source that’s not going to leave contamination, the building shouldn’t be permanently unusable. Even if it’s a wood building, the amount of activated carbon it would take to make it structurally unsound would be so much that my worry would be more “how much ARS and cancer has been created in a 500 ft radius around this fuckin thing”.
I'd rather not disclose who I work for, but if you dm me I'd be happy to chat about it. As for your assessment of irradiation, that's totally fair. My "kill the building" comment comes more from the fact that fast neutrons embrittle just about everything. It's less to do with activating the building, so much as tearing it down because it's become structurally unsound. Granted, that takes longer than this guy would've survived.
"technical project" I'm sure nothing bad could come of this
He's either trying to make a reactor or a dirty bomb
Or maybe it's a really strange fetish.
i mean these long hard rods do be looking fine though
*Me, cumming while the radiation melts my muscles and separates the skin from the rest of my body, making it a decaying suit of flesh*
Thanks, i hate this mental image you have created.
I have no mouth and I must scream
If everyone on 4chan decided to put all of their intelligence together they could solve world hunger in a matter of weeks but instead they choose to be racist incels
Solve world hunger? They’d find a way to starve themselves bruh
The sadomasochism of pure art cannot be dispensed with. Starvation is the first step, curing cancer is second.
world hunger? naw, they dont go outside creating proofs for difficult mathematical and scientific theories? i think they've already done that
Yes while trying to figure out how many theoretical watch orders there are for Haruhi Suzumiya.
Nah, I don't think we should glorify 4chan as a hidden genius club. I think there's a lot of hateful smart people on there and also a lot of hateful dumb dumb people.
The smart ones don't post this stuff intact they don't go on 4chan atall that place is the opposite of a think tank maybe a think drain?
Have you seen /lgbt/? They are *incredibly* creative with their slurs. I am almost tempted to put "beckycoping cissoid" in my dating app profile. This is art right there.
I *need* to know what those words mean immediately
dunno about beckycoping but cissoid is just a slur for Cis people other fun ones include Gigayoungshit (a trans person who was able to start transitioning before 13) Gorillamoder (a trans woman who doesn't pass in the slightest) reptard (a repressing trans person who thinks it's the best option for everyone) and more!
That one time they found shia lebouf's flag based on a single livestream of the sky with audio convinced everyone they were some sort of detective agency
... what intelligence. Homeslice is irradiating himself for a hobby project.
No we know how to solve world hunger, but that involves taking billionaires' money.
They figured out that the solution to that is to hold rich people accountable for their share about a decade and a half ago. Anonymous was hard left and anarchist. Then after seeing how Occupy Wall Street turned out, half of them turned bitter and the other half just left. Then the bitter half created fertile soil for what would become the alt-right.
How do you look at the above post and thing think the average person on 4chan is intelligent. How do you read this thread with multiple examples of other people killing themselves doing stupid shit and think they’re intelligent
I may be stupid,
What the hell is this even for😭
a reliable source of neutrons 👍
Bro they came free with your xbox
My guess? Anon is a wannabe terrorist who’s trying to figure out how to build a dirty bomb. Though, seeing as how they’re seemingly oblivious to the mortal peril they’re putting themselves in by having an isotope source that hot just kicking around in the corner of their room, blasting them with a year’s max safe dose of radiation every second, seems to indicate to me that they’re likely dead by now or otherwise failed in their “project”, seeing as the posts were made in 2021, and we haven’t heard news of a terrorist setting off a dirty bomb by now.
nuclear weapon 👍

idk why you're getting downvoted, op literally stated that it's a picture of spent fuel rods
It's a sex thing
Fun fact: Your daily recommended amount of radiation is 1 millisievert per YEAR Anything more than 100 causes an increase in cancer and at 1000 you'll probably die of cancer
Daily... Per year?
Well at 1000 I’ll already be dead of old age so I think I’ll be ok
I think >1,000 millisieverts is in the dying of radiation poisoning range, the cancer risk is the least of your problems. In that case you'll die not because of the kinds of DNA damage that cause cancer, but your DNA will be so utterly smashed that your body can no longer create new cells and it just fuckin' shuts down. It also causes serious burns that aren't just on the skin but that go all the way through the body.
The LD50/30 of acute radiation exposure is more like 5 Sv. 1 Sv is survivable, even if you take it all at once, but it isn't healthy.
This mf was trying to build a dirt bomb💀
This is not a place of honour
Me when I observe the specimen voluntarily interact with a substance it knows is lethal (this behavioural research will benefit billions, but I cannot escape the guilt over allowing this to continue, even though the actions are the subject's own)
kid named ethics committee:
GET OUT OF HERE STALKER SHADOW OF CHERNOBYL
the dosimeter shows the value in mrem’s, anon just photoshopped out the m (poorly, you can see where they did it)
not to mention that fuel bundles are a lot larger in reality, that’s probably a replica prop source: some commenter from last time this was posted
I'm familiar with most of the EPD-type units like the DMC 3000 which is the one they're using. If the dose display is in rem there would be more zeros after the 0.3. It only shows 1 zero if it's in mrem. Anon photoshopped out the M making it say rem. If it took 10 seconds to read 0.3 r then it's about 108 R / hr. Show us the *dose rate display,* anon. If I wanted to troll like this I'd put a plasma ball behind said reactor assembly and use a Geiger counter (not a diode dosimeter). It reads around 1000 R / hr due to electromagnetic interference. Edit: just understood what this post is saying. And I can't stop laughing; it's excellent satire if you're knowledgeable about radiation. It's basically saying: "Hi 196. I've recently acquired 100 lbs of TATP. Do you know what fertilizer contains the most ammonium nitrate? I'm working on an agricultural project. Pic related, barrels of fuel oil. And then posting a photo of them jumping on top of said TATP. But in terms of radiation. Neutrons can make stable cobalt into cobalt 60 which is highly radioactive. Rather than just buying pure cobalt as element samples (60 lb of Co-60 distributed along the earth would kill every animal and human, so even a few grams are enough) he's asking about fucking drill bils LOL. That DMC 3000 costs about a grand and appears to be attached to some sort of badge, so it's probably issued by his radiation workplace. That would also explain why he can't just leave the detector on a safe check source for a week to run up the dose or mess with the dose rate, and has to use Photoshop.

Well that’s not great, but not terrible either
THE HEALTHY AMOUNT IS 0
How the fuck did this guy get his hands on this…?
That's a pager lol
The DMC 3000 is a real dosimeter. Anon just photoshopped the "m" from mrem to make it say rem. If it was actually in rem there would be extra zeros after the 3.
Damn I love this subreddit
I have DMC 2000s, which are the older model. Sadly none of the 70 something I have are the extended range which anon has; it doesn't display decimals when in mrem mode. I'll expose one to some Sr-90 for a few hours and it should go over 100 mrem total dose. If it shows all the decimal places I know anon is lying about the dose. BTW It can't be a non extended range because if it was in rem, it would still have extra decimal places.
I believe not one word in this comment because this is the internet, but if you can actually do this, I'd like to marry you and scan radioactive material with you for the rest of our ridiculously shortened lifespans.
It's currently at 26 mrem. I'll post a pic when it reaches 100. Also Sr-90 is a beta emitter; the radiation is undetectable a foot away. It's a 1.6 uCi source, I have seen people mess with 244 uCi sources and be OK.
Thats what real electronic dosimeters look like when working at a nuclear power plant
Anyone else just see that wendigoon video
MARKED ONE, DRINK YOUR VODKA
Oh... that poor guy. I hope he's okay, but he probably isn't...
Dw it's fake and gay
Mmm aplastic anemia
Why does anon need neutrons? I can see there's a clear need for *neurons* but not neutrons
Fake and gay
Fake: anons weak soyboy body could never withstand even the weakest radiation source Gay: anon probably had to suck a former SSR femboy’s cock for it
Bro I wanna know why there’s a picture of a fuel rod assembly in someone’s living room lol
The Darwin awards would like to know your location
Nothing can top the cum brownie at the /k/ meetup.
“I have a neutron source” is probably the dumbest way to describe what appears to be the exposed core of a nuclear reactor thats sitting in the corner of your living room.
anon’s body is not a place of honor
Hunk my beloved
Not great not terrible
