In the past ten years, South Korea has already released five times as much tritium in the Sea of Japan than Fukushima will release.

Nobody stopped eating sushi.

But this time it's scary because Fukushima is scary.

Which is all thanks to the fossil fuels industry.

I dunno, man. I can get sushi for the same price as a big Mac meal now. Not because it's gotten cheap, though. It's because Big Macs meals are like $15 for some reason.

Because they learned they can price gouge ever increasing amounts and people keep paying it

whole this probably did slightly raise the localised radioactivity of the area the water was released into, I suspect not as much as, say, dropping a banana into the ocean would have.

Hang on... Wasn't this an episode of The Simpsons?

Yeah but this is actually safe. I'm being serious. This isn't sarcasm.

Honestly. They predict more events than idiocracy

Given the dumb shit that happens in this, the most ridiculous time line, I would lay money on aliens invading, and Fumio Kishida manifesting super powers to defend Japan. It's in the same ballpark as Trump jumping bail and Dog the Bounty Hunter bringing him, but, you know you can't completely rule it out.

Oh boy do I hope he doesn't die of a mysterious hart attack now. I'm both curious and worried about what would happen

Pretty hilarious to see people convince themselves that supporting nuclear energy is somehow counter-cultural and anti-establishment, or even anti-capitalist.

I get that it's safe but we could use fear mongering for good and possibly cut back on overfishing. Just saying...
