I believed it. Sadly it’s not real: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/plutonium-jazz
It seems believable given the story of the “Radium Girls”, workers who painted radioactive paint on watch dials to make them glow. They’d lick the tips of the brushes when they got too frayed… which eventually led to cancer.
Whoa. Eating radioactive material isn’t great at all.
From a different time, too: An X-Ray shoe fitter
Thanks, Woke.
They want to cancel bananas now.
I believed this was real until I searched for it 😂 To be fair to my own credulity, Plutonium Jazz would not be the most insane thing people did with radioactive materials back then. The “medicines” alone make Plutonium Jazz sound pretty tame.
This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.
Of course, so does “bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones” and “including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow”
But Geiger counters aren’t rhythmic at all, radioactive decay is, pretty famously, random.
True, much like memes are pretty famously fabricated.
