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.

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 · 76 pts · 251d (26 replies)

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

ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 22 pts · 251d (13 replies)

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

turdas@suppo.fi · 18 pts · 251d (11 replies)

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

Dalvoron@lemmy.zip · 31 pts · 251d (1 reply)

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

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 251d

that's one my great great great grandfather used to say

tetris11@feddit.uk · 7 pts · 251d (1 reply)

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

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 251d

I read your comment to the tune of "you put the lime in the coconut"

Butt stuff.

Iheartcheese@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 251d (1 reply)

I mean while I'm in there

a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 251d

That's the spirit!

ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 251d (2 replies)

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

datavoid@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 251d (1 reply)

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

ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 251d

U235 pellets in an apple...easy peasy

village604@adultswim.fan · 1 pts · 251d

Injecting them with it

Dicska@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 250d

Make them eat horse shoes made out of uranium!

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 251d (5 replies)

Wouldn't a small nuke or dirty bomb work?

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com · 10 pts · 251d

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

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 251d (2 replies)

wouldn't that just kill them

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 251d (1 reply)

Nobody specified the horse needed to remain living?

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 251d

true

theneverfox@pawb.social · 3 pts · 251d

But then you use up the uranium. It's far more efficient to just attach it to the horse, then remove it for reuse

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 251d (2 replies)

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

Iheartcheese@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 251d

I don't understand the question.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 251d

Cause

ulterno@programming.dev · -3 pts · 251d (2 replies)

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 · 8 pts · 251d (1 reply)

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

Iheartcheese@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 251d

Gotta irradiate somethin'

jaybone@lemmy.zip · 46 pts · 251d (3 replies)

A horse walks into a bar.

The bartender says “why the long face?”

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

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 251d

ok that's funny

herrvogel@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 251d

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.

Da, Comrade, thanks for being a Liquidator

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 251d (4 replies)

ok but why

Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org · 20 pts · 251d (3 replies)

so that the horses get radiation poisoning

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 251d (2 replies)

what did the horses do to you

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 251d (1 reply)

because fuck horses, that's why.

stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 249d

Via screenshot of that comment, right? Actually, I'll also accept a poorly cropped photo of a device displaying that comment, bonus points if the actual content is cut off slightly and the background includes something that gets more attention than the actual subject of the image, like a severed toe just sitting there, begging to be asked about.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 251d

Just so y'all know, this is what I think of when y'all say "horseshoe theory"

Empricorn@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 251d

Not every intrusive thought needs to be communicated!

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 251d

Solid reasoning there Lou
