Here's a hot take: fuck Japan and any country that does this kind of shit. Will it dilute? Yes. Does that make it safe? Absolutely not!

This is a wrong take. Your body is exposed to radiation all day every day. And it's safe.

Lol, go drink some then.

I ate a banana just this morning, and I'll eat another one right now just for you.

I will not care if any fish I buy or eat comes from Japan.

Literally, go drink a gallon of radioactive waste. Then come tell me it's safe.

[–] nbafantest@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Every gallon of water has some level of radioactivity.

Every single drop you've ever drank has been radioactive.

Please stop this nonsense.

There are different types of radiation and not all of it is “safe”.

Calling this safe is ridiculous.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

It's well below internationally established limits, so it's safe at least by consensus. Their neighbor China releases far more than Japan does, and I think China is considered under the limit as well.

So Japan is doing the safe thing here, they're releasing at a safe rate, and only at much as they need to release.

This is just FUD to scare the average person from nuclear power, which is provably clean and safe.

There's different wheels of radiation and this is very low.

Your comment is pure nuclear hysteria.
