Never forget the future that was taken from us.
Of course, mother!
Thank you Junior. Don’t forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.
It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
Never mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!
It always smells like bloody sinus in our house after changing the wafer.
That means it’s working!
“Mother, why do all my teeth feel itchy?”
Spit out the wafer.
The Children of the Atom deem you a HERETIC! Embrace the holy atom!
I’m so out of my depth in this thread. Is this a real side effect of radiation?
I can’t find it now, but I’d swear to having read an anecdote from someone working with radiation who reported tingling teeth during exposure.
It definitely does a lot of nasty things to the body.
“Timmy you left the aluminum foil on the atomic wafer!!”
“By golly Tim you shattered space time and opened a black hole!”
“My apologies mother and father, I have been absent of clear cognition.”
Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter

More people die from wind turbines and hydro than from nuclear on a per tWh basis. If we actually want to save lives we would require higher levels of safety standards on fossil fuels that are magnitudes more dangerous than nuclear
This post was brought to you by Isaac Asimov’s Foundation gang.
Atomic wafers made by the techo-church-state? Or have I got this back to front and this is how the non-technical society irradiates its children?
I think this refers to everyday household items being powered by some unspecified kind of uranium engine.
Rare element, I didn’t think uranium was ever specially mentioned just “atomics”, fusion and fission generally.
Might be my imagination is playing tricks on me.
I could be wrong, it’s been a minute since I reread the series.
imagines a nuclear future
also imagines that each home needs to supply its own atomic wafers
That way you would create more trash.
They lived making lots of “trash” bcs they loved discarding all the trash.
Consumers gotta consume
Atomic Wafer Challenge
I passed out from the flood of Fallout references that just rushed into my brain.
Clean! Safe!! Too cheap to meter!!!
/pffft
About the hairy chest (don’t worry, it’s harmless).
Great novel “The Thin Man” by Dashiell Hammett.
After the narrator’s wife does something particularly brave a witness remarks admiringly “That’s a dame with hair on her chest!”
Well I’m licking it first!
Wonder if a convenient wall mount would even be worth it, isn’t a golf ball sized pellet enough for a lifetime of consumer usage or something?
Putting it in my underwear later…
Do you want to be Malons? This is how you become Malons. /s
What show is that?
