Radioactive Plants survive Chernobyl and adapt, mutated grains anyone?

[Chris Overhage]

Yes the Generator exploded causing a meltdown (amongst a whole slew of other problems) That doesn't mean the whole plant exploded. By your logic if i shoot a pop bottle in my house the whole house has then "exploded"

 

[Wedlock49]

The article is misleading. The power plant did not "Exlplode" it had a meltdown. If the Uranium had gone critical the situation would have been FAR worse.

Oh really, then you should know that one of the generators malfunctioned and caused an explosion to happen.

The powerplant did not explode. There was no malfunction.

They disabled the fail safes for maitenence and by coincidence they tested the fail safes the same day, causing a meltdown, but not an explosion.

you get what I ment about sega and fallout now leave it alone please.

"Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

This is what I read when I look at most of what you said. The analogy still makes little to no sense.

On a lighter note, the plants sound cool.

Line 1: I can understand how you read the form like that, but I am in social class stressed out about future assignments(do not ask and do not comment)so yes some of it might not make ANY SENSE, but do not exploit it to the point of supersaturation.

Line 2: Honestly I have no Idea on how much more clear I wanted this form to be on. RADIOACTIVE PLANTS in chernobyl, not about Metaphors involving sega and radioactive fallout.

Line 3: Thank you.

Plants thriving in radioactive soil?
That sounds more awesome than it probably is!
Oh well, this is probably the only time when I can use this quote without it sounding completely out of context.

"Home? I have no home. Hunted. Despised. Living like an animal. The jungle is my home! I shall show the world that I can be its master! I will perfect my own race of people! A race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world!"

Here's a fun picture of the reactor at any rate.

And it was an explosion. Many heard it.

It wasn't a coincidence by the way. They disabled safety systems to be able to test other ones.

If I eat one of those plants, what superpower do I get?

Given the fact that few plants yield significant nutrient and many are inherently toxic to people, the odds are pretty good that you'll get death even if you weren't dealing with mutant plants.

The disaster was no where near as bad as it could have been. Yes there was an explosion that caused a breach of containment, but how in the world do you figure that was nuclear? Because it happened in a nuclear power plant? No it was gases that built up that caused the explosion, not nuclear.

It does not matter if I messed up the term....the point is that it is more clear on what my statement was about sega and not about bombs. you get what I ment about sega and fallout now leave it alone please.

It does matter that you messed up the term. It matters because this is why you are getting so stressed out through out the thread that nobody seems to be fully understanding your points. How can they when you are using terms in ways nobody else does?

Yes after chernobyl plants did begin to cope with so much fallout that even Sega could not compete after the bad sonic games. The link to the article is here on BBC:

what has this got to do with sega?

Its a metaphor

The power to grow any one of your cells to vast proportions. Use it wisely.

You win britannica, this metaphor arguemnt was dead a long time ago anyways. Sure I will try better to use proper terms. But as I said, I don't care about what I typed, I just care that I made the metaphor a little more clear. Please just leave it alone because I understand.

No I don't think it is.

so? fallout 3 is a lie? goddamnit

 

[Snake Plissken]

Lame. It's only flax seed and soy junk. Had it been an awesome grain, I'd turn that shit into radioactive beer.

No I don't think it is.

Its a comparison (of plants and sega) that does not use the words "like" or "as"

Eating those gives you the power of killing slowly and painful, muwahahahaha.

Atomic supermen...sounds like Futurama.

Nope, it's waaaaaaay older, maybe Futurama did a parody of it.
It's still pretty famous though.

Being constantly exposed to low levels of radiation make you more resistant to high levels or radiation in the long run. They tried it on mice who had lived their entire lives in the Chernobyl area.
