"If you eat 40 thousand bananas in a span of 10 minutes, you would die of radioactive poisoning."
"Ah yes... THE RADIATION would kill you"
TheRussianBadger quotes are very nice lol
You’d be quicker to die of a potassium overdose than radiation from eating that many bananas
Dado would like to know your location
A gram of uranium is around 4 billion calories, so if you’re tryna bulk up, you’ve got a source
1000~ bananas are enough to die of potassium poisoning... so I guess I don't have to deal with radiations... nice :)
I love how Connor worries about the radiation of eating a banana, really honors the name MONKEY
This reminds me of the Russian Badger Banana Radiation video
czcams.com/video/pkU_hP8Rzoo/video.html
In Korea there's a popular quote by a comedian and he said "People who act upon reading ONE book are more dangerous than people who act upon reading nothing at all"
"little knowledge is a dangerous thing"
That actually is very true. The amount of sudo intellectuals on social media trying to influence people is depressing and dangerous
One of my jobs was to clean up surgical rooms after surgery and prepare them for the next surgery. (Change equipment and beds, ect) and I was mopping up from some case or another in a room that had a MASSIVE c-shaped x-ray machine. Weirdly the lights kept flicking off and on for a second. I shrugged my shoulders and kept cleaning.
Turns out some maintenance people thought the room was empty and were turning the x-ray on and off while I was in there not shielded by either lead clothing or a wall. I was annoyed
No superpowers or lymphoma yet
that's a lawsuit right there. Let me be your lawyer
You can probably file a lawsuit regarding this, but these types of C-Shaped x-rays are focused on the tube, so as long your exposure in the room wasn't too long and you weren't really close to it you shouldn't have any major problems regarding it.
@@comradepolarbear6920 This was over 10 years ago and i didnt document anything lol. It is a well known "ill just settle to make this go away" corporation tho.
Yeah shouldn’t have happened but you’ll be fine lol. Similar exposure to had you broken your arm and needed X-rays (that machines known as a c arm and is used frequently for reductions of broken bones)
@@thevictoryoverhimself7298 real ahit doesnt matter anymore could even prob argue negligence on your own part for waiting 10 years just to leave a yt comment seriously tho you shouldve contacted a lawyer cs specifics aside (ie. certain type should be ok) doesnt really matter as they fkd up to begin with
X rays can easily be neglected, as long as you are not overusing them. In general you get less than 1 xray picture of you taken in a year, be it dentally, or accidentaly caused.
Now imagine being a doctor and having to take 3, 4 or 10 a day. Thats when it starts to get dangerous and thats why doctors and nurses leave the room.
radiation is usually mostly more of a cumulative problem than an instataneous one, if you take x-rays weekly you're fucked, but once or twice a year is not a problem. That's why radiation tec get their monthly/yearly dose measured.
That's reassuring I thought the dosage was higher. With that being said radiation still scares me because I can't see it.
@@taishou94 yes and no, uv light doesnt pierce the body as xrays do
@@drawbyyourselve makes sense. My buddy who works in radiology at the hospital told me that lol
nah more than that. dentist....
The worst thing Will did with that x-ray video wasn't the risk from the x-rays it was his complete disregard for the high voltage system, he removed the oil that's used to insulate and stop electrical arcs
I work with radiation, some forms are more dangerous than others, but with proper shielding, PPE, and following protocols on how to remove your PPE along with monitoring you shouldn't have to worry. Farmers out in the sun all day absorb more radiation than I am allowed to at work.
"how to convince people to watch a thing"
then there's tom scott who just posts a video titled "I promise this story about microwaves is interesting." and it works
Well yeah, he promised
For anyone who has watched the TV show "the expanse" near the end of season 1 there's a point where two characters end up getting flashed with a lethal dose of radiation. It's just a bright flashlight burst. The one guy turns to the other and says "what was that" and the other on answers "the decontamination laser, it just output 3 times the lethal dose of gamma rays. We're already dead, our bodies just don't know it yet."
That's how scary radiation can be. Lethal dose and you might not even feel it. Hours later, your insides liquify.
I still remember reading that scene years ago. Such a good series.
Fortunately they just got cancer and had to take chemo drugs for the rest of their lives. 🥹
Must be some fancy SciFi stuff if they've got lasers capable of outputting 300 Sv of gamma radiation
Was it really a laser? I thought it was just a big blunt burst to decontaminate the bodies, like they do to sterilize surgical instruments and stuff.
@@gowanator "Yeah we basically but a star into this laser pointer". For a show so obsessed with realism, a gamma ray laser is kinda odd
I worked with Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) inside of an industrial Frac tower.
It was not immediately dangerous, just would have been very bad to let it rest on our skin and to breathe in if we didn’t have the respirator on.
I remember the dude who picked up a metallic rod and out it in his pocket and even put it in a chair where his wife sits while breastfeeding their newborn baby. The dude really suffered a lot of damage from that radioactive rod but miraculously he fricking lived but lost a couple of his limbs, his family are fine though
@@janinebelleestrada7096 that was something they kept telling us, to get the shit off as soon as we could.
I’m just assuming constant exposure is what makes it dangerous, but I’m not really an expert or anything.
@@bonfist7277 Well if you imagine that you forget about something and held it for a couple hours in a pocket perhaps, that's thousands of times more impact than simply picking it up and moving it. Leave it in a work coat pocket for a month, and you are talking some big numbers.
Obv, if you did something where you ate or breathed in material, that aint coming out for a while, so the exposure would be very long.
@@faithnfire4769 The risk from ingestion is more from Alpha radiation tho, which is essentially a Helium atom minus the electrons. Can't even penetrate the dead skin on our bodies, don't even think it makes it through a piece of paper, but it is VERY dangerous if it reaches sensitive skin because of just how ionizing it is.
Remember kids, ionizing radiation damage is CUMULATIVE. It's the reason x-ray technologists and radiologists wear badges to track exposure. -- once and future x-ray technologist
Whats the badge technical term
@@MissShar it's a dosimeter. It keeps track of how much radiation hits it, which is proportional to how much radiation you've received while wearing it. Also, at low doses, cancer is a stochastic effect, which means that as you get more radiation, the chance of getting cancer increases, but it's still a yes/no have vs have not thing
When I went visit Fukushima exclusion zone I brought my own Geiger counter. I did the same on the flight over from Australia. It’s a bit freaky seeing how high it goes but not as bad as some of the levels on the ground in Fukushima….
I have taken my geiger counter on flights to check out the radiation levels. Usually 10 to 20 times the background level at sea level. But I always turned the sound off first. Didn't want to freak anyone out!
Smart, I might've forgotten to do that and freaked a few people out before turning it off 😅
If there’s one thing Chernobyl has made me afraid of, it’s the sound of a Geiger counter
My husband is a commercial airline pilot. He told me that a fairly high percentage of commercial pilots end up dying shortly after they retire from cancer (also very common to die from skin cancer bc of the UV radiation). Sad stuff.
I'm unsure how many flights pilots make in a day, but honestly that cancer probably isn't from the increase in background radiation. Cancer risk goes up by 4% per Sievert of radiation absorbed, and a microsievert is one one-millionth of a Sievert.
I love that he brings up the xkcd chart for this.
That chart is good as it amalgamates about 5 charts to give a good idea of scale
Finally, a topic I can share my insight as a radtech student (but won’t, gotta review for exams)
"chill out everybody. this is not a bomb. this is only a Geiger counter, that's measuring the amount of radiation we're getting from flying. have a great flight."
I dont know what they are on about, X-rays mean nothing without knowing the intensity of those rays. They can do nothing, or they can kill you in a flash. Professional X-ray devices in hospitals use as little intensity of X-rays possible without compromising the resolution of the image they get. If you try to self manufacture an X-ray device, well then you better also calculate the energy converted to x-ray radiation per second and plan based on that.
plus the exposure time is pretty short too, the medical personel is more at risk than any pacient, due to cumulative radiation they end up indirectly taking.
They are probably talking about the hospital x-ray machines, that'd be my guess as a dental and chess x-rays were mentioned...
2:16 "why do people spend time watching CZcams?"
The content that youtubers put out is way better than anything on TV.
OK some TV docs obviously have a way better budgets, manage to have interviews with family members that sometimes youtubers don't get but I still see a lot more interesting passion from youtubers.
Podcasters are also better than late night TV shows
Anyone not wanting to sleep tonight about radiation, look up two incidents. The Demon core (A monument to mans hubris and inability to not be a cowboy), and the Elephants Foot (The leftover melted pile of Corium from Chernobyl).
I'll do you one better (read worse): Hisachi Ouchi, probably one of the most tragic cases of radiation poisoning, and probably among the highest doses ever recorded. Be warned, some of the pictures are haunting, man was literally falling apart for months.
What many people don’t know about the elephant’s foot is that part of the route to access it through where the core used to be, literally climbing on old smashed up graphite surrounded by half melted fuel rods and technical channels, Alexandr Kupnyi has a video of the route to see it
Kyle Hill killin it with the radiation videos! I personally live Plainly Difficult-he has a LOT of videos about radiation accidents as well.
i thought it said melted pile of copium
Too much alcohol and too much radiation will kill me, but only one of them can literally melt the skin off my bones.
god i love liqour
The boys: we've been on many flights
Me: I don't fly
always have to be careful of any info you get online
radioactiveee radioaktiveeeeee
Fun fact... there's also ionizing radiation in some alcohols...
This is why I don’t sit next to a window on a plane
Don’t worry homie I take the window seat!
who are they talking about at the beginning?
Mr. Beast
Joe
I had like 3 cat scans in one month I’m kinda scared now
All were chest and I also had a mri scan once in the same month, everyday I had a X-ray of chest also for 2 month all these things happened at the same time
still no reason to worry if you dont take them regularly for like a year and even then it would be like a 1-2% bigger chance of getting cancer
radioactive radioactive woah o wa oh
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
working with radiation is perfectly safe if you follow the correct safety procedures.
Walking a tight rope 200 meters above the ground is also perfectly safe as long as you stay on the rope. It is really more about what the consequences are when someone who does not follow the procedures. This is the truly scary thing about radiation, one idiot or a few idiots can cause consequences for millions of people rather than the unqualified tight rope walker that only has the potential to take him or herself out of the genepool.
@@rustknuckleirongut8107 yep
Luckily in nuclear facilities they do t actually employ people Homer Simpson
@@Purwapada The former population of Chernpbyl respectfully disagrees. There are Homer Simpsons everywhere and the main problem with Homer Simpsons is that you only find out that you have one once the error has happened. It's the whole Black Swan thing about things that people think can't happen and then they do.
@@rustknuckleirongut8107 fair.
Although that plant was badly designed as well
@@rustknuckleirongut8107 Hey, protip btw, in Chernobyl, the reactors used (RBMK reactors) were so unreliable at low voltage that most if not all other countries rejected the design for better options. The USSR, being goofballs, wanted to be cool and unique. Then, staff who were NOT trained in safety disregarded all safety warnings from safety crew and chose to try and run the reactor at super low voltages as a request from the military had come in to do so to see what would happen in the event of a bombing or similar event. I wouldn't say it's fair to judge the whole of the nuclear industry or its employees over an incident that happened largely due to an authoritarian regime NOT listening to nuclear industry employees.
Why do I listen to trash taste during lunch so often? They had some good shows that caught my interest. Now it’s just habit.
Who's Nigel?

not dangerous at all if you have the proper equipment.
I'm in school for radiation protection, and these doses really aren't as bad as they sound. In Canada, the yearly allowed dose for a regular person is one milliSievert. Energy sector workers have a 5 year limit of 100 milliSieverts, and a one year limit of 50 milliSieverts. High frequency UV light is also ionizing radiation. On the subject of dose and its relation to height, someone living atop Mount Lorne in Yukon which is 2km above sea level would receive an annual dose of 0.84 mSv, still under the allowed limit, and still ridiculously safe. ICRP estimates that the fatal cancer risk for nuclear energy workers is approximately 4% per Sievert, so if a worker takes in their maximum 5 year dose of 100 mSv every 5 years, they'll only be 4% more likely to develop a fatal cancer after 50 years of work, hitting all of their maximum limits (however, it's unlikely that they'll hit those limits, in ten years of work my prof took in only ~15 mSv). With birth defects, the risk is 0.6% per Sv, on top of the already 6-9% that occurs naturally. "Radiation Sickness" is also not remotely as common as media makes it out to be, as even the effects you DON'T feel (i.e. changes in blood cells that eventually solve themselves) only begin after you've received 250 mSv in less than a day, and the effects you DO feel, particularly the mild ones like nausea, fatigue, and maybe some vomiting, is felt after absorbing a dose in excess of a (1) Sievert within 24h. Also, on the subject of Osman's talk of a Geiger counter of a plane, clicks =/= dose, as a Geiger counters clicking represents it detecting what we refer to as a "count" or "disintegration", which is the radiation emitted by the decay of an atom. All the higher number of clicks means is that there is more detectable radiation, not that it is more dangerous or that you will receive a higher dose, which is what is shown on the screen. Anyway, I think this infodump is long enough now. What you don't know can kill you, but it could also make you really scared for no real reason.
This is a huge problem. I wish people would be a bit more humble and realize they might not know everything
AY YO WTF I HAVE THAT SAME LED ZEPPELIN SHIRT LEEEEEEEES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I would like to watch that video
I already have flight anxiety due to not having any control of the situation once you're in the air, now I learn about radiation??? I have only taken 4 flights in my short 26 years of life so I'm good but gee thanks.
Is this their Japan set or is this their America set
Japan
it's japan set. if you watched the episode, you'll notice that william is coming to japan and they happen have a time to do podcast there.
"We had nigel on last week..." and no one caught that? I certainly didn't. I didn't even know who Nigel was.
.
When I read the word radiation I just thought qwerks 😅
Disclaimers don't work when they are in form of "I'm not an expert". People who have no enough understanding of the subject can't tell if you are wrong or not. And if they can, then what's the point with disclaimer. It's kind of miss in all scenarios.
EE
What's the source?
"I made it the fuck up"
mega early
who are they talking about
this is so frustrating
they skipped the start and are just saying "he"
I think MrBeast
the link to "The Full Podcast" is just a link to your channel and not this actual podcast.
kinda weak
u get a reading around 3.5 Sieverts when ur in cruice altitude with an airplane . guess what u have right outside chernobyl ... around 3 to 4 sieverts :P and ur adviced not to stay longer then 10 min XD
Am I supposed to know who this guy with them is? I don't.
yes
