Is this loss?
I think I may be hallucinating but I’m pretty sure this is loss
Just get done with an article read that was way more emotional than I needed this morning and then the top comment makes me damn near fall over laughing.
My question is - why is the only sane respondent listed last?
Physicist Emil Kowalski from Baden, Switzerland, proposed that terminal storage locations be constructed in such a way that future generations could reach them only with a high technical ability. The probability of an unwanted breach would then become extremely small. Kowalski expected that cultures able to perform such excavations and drilling would be able to detect radioactive material and be aware of its dangers.
Also I’ve been thinking about making one of these. I already made ones for me and my partner that say “goblin” and “mothman” a la
(I can’t find the og Tumblr post)
In retrospect the fact that I felt like I should be drawn to banshee, harpy, selkie or succubus, but was ultimately much more drawn to goblin and cryptid was an early sign of me not really having a gender (jokes on me, now I’m an agendered succubus. Well, sort of. It turns out succubus vs incubus has more to do with bottoming / topping than it does with gender and I’m a switch so I AM a concubus, but NOT because of my gender or lack thereof).
you’re welcome for the laughter
The concept of a power bottom got stuck in my head and I drew a thing because of this comment.
Why did I think that was an xkcd strip at first? 🤣
I think it’s loss
I mean, kinda.
same, actually!
These are a waste of money.
Dig a deep hole into the bedrock, put waste into the hole, backfill with clay and boulders.
Any civilization advanced enough to dig deep enough will quickly understand that the material is dangerous.
And if for some reason a primitive civilization does manage to get at the material they will notice that the material is harmful and avoid it.
Over ten thousand years, erosion or earthquakes can expose the entrance, contaminating the site. People could dig a well or prospect for minerals. The suggestion of underground activity could suggest to them that it is a good place to mine, or even that there’s a tomb or other interesting artifacts
Any civilization advanced enough to dig deep enough will quickly understand that the material is dangerous.
Well look, there’s only really one civilisation we can look at to see if this is true, and that’s our current civilisation. It turns out, though, that this civilisation learned to dig through clay and boulders to any depth a few centuries before it understood what radioactive nuclei do to the human body. It’s fair to say a new civilisation would probably learn quickly why all of the people mining near the glowing rocks were dying in pain, but progress in that area would probably be measurable in agonising deaths, which is presumably what people are happy to spend money on these signs to avoid.
