Your overestimating the lethality of radiation. The "Demon Core" guy lasted 9 days. The firefighters from Chernobyl lasted a month. The only criticality events that I can find with immediate fatalities also involve steam explosions.

For those who know, steam is scarier than radiation or fire.

I think you're reading their comment too literally. I think it's meant as a joke that the stick is nearing its "EOL", not the person holding it, but they're wilfully misinterpreting it.

I don't know what commenter meant, but it's important to spread accurate information about radiation and nuclear tech.

Personally I wouldn’t be holding that rod long enough to read the date and do the maths. Just out of healthy caution.

i went down a rabbit hole on cobalt 60 after seeing this. Cobalt 60 can actually kill you in less than an hour from acute exposure.

You are not considering what @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca is considering.

OP ate that stick with the Kellogs™

Burned my whole index finger with microwave-heated vegetables.
