Thank you 🙏

Its an antimeme

Regular uranium is not radioactive enough. The horse will get cancer but not radiation poisoning. You have to use either enriched uranium or plutonium, or something more exotic.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

The resulting horseshoes would also be about three times as heavy so maybe there would be back pain in addition to the cancer

Wtf? Why? Is this a joke I didn't get?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Can you think of a more efficient way to give the horses radiation poisoning?

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Having them eat something containing a radioactive isotope comes to mind...

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Okay smart guy, but how about when you can't make them eat anything?

[–] Dalvoron@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

Like in that famous idiom, you can lead a horse to radioactive pellets, but you can't make it eat.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

You put it into the water trough, and then you take the horse to it

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You can always get them to eat, I've never had a horse not eating when handfed...

[–] datavoid@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Tell me you've never tried to feed a horse enriched uranium without telling me..

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Make them eat horse shoes made out of uranium!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wouldn't a small nuke or dirty bomb work?

Oh, sure, if your horses are all in the same place.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

wouldn't that just kill them

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nobody specified the horse needed to remain living?

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

uhm... put them in a place with lots of radiation...? wait...why do we want horses to have radiation poisoning again?

[–] ulterno@programming.dev -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think mortn is unable to relate to the outcome (of giving horses radiation poisoning) being desirable.
Kinda similar to people who can't get the Joker's desire to "See the world burn", which is why they don't understand his jokes.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think anybody said it's desirable. It just has to be done.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Gotta irradiate somethin'

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A horse walks into a bar.

The bartender says “why the long face?”

The horse says “I’ve got radiation poisoning.”

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's not funny. Radiation poisoning is not funny. The horse should have something you can laugh at. Like full blown aids. Contracted from an African prostitute. It should be riddled with it. Now that's comedy.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

ok that's funny

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

so that the horses get radiation poisoning

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

what did the horses do to you

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

because fuck horses, that's why.
