*Maturity is when u understand whole world is unstable because of piece'full community*

[shubhamgupta-pqme]

Were they carrying it in their pocket? How the fuck such highly radioactive material security got to be this medicore that they lost it somewhere while transporting

After contential drift
A different species rise in Australia
Now we are going witness radioactive species
Here we go again

[logiczchance]

if it is so dangerous why isn't anyone searching for it wearing protective equipment?

[prosimulate]

It’s already in a kangaroo’s pouch, and that roo is warm and happy😂 They’re treating it like a nuclear warhead 😂😂😂

They found it, using radioactive tracking equipment, driving along a search distance being, 1400 km stretch of highway.
The capsule was lying 2 metres off the side of the highway. ABC news report in Australia today Thursday February 2, 2023.

Imagine such thing happened in India
People would have started blaming modi
Bbc would have made documentaries proving modi is after all this
Just by asking questions no matter he doesn't say anything regarding it.
World ranking would have made India worst place to visit
This is true image of west

Same thing happened in our nanda parbat mountain .. by american treckers

[ai]

They are very careless, proved again!

[thomasmcrae]

Not to make wild speculations but I wonder if this capsule is radioactive what were they going to use it for was it for a missile system was it for power plant what was it for that's what I want to know for it to be that

[xiufengu]

Half life of 30 years in 120 years they can rest assured it has dropped to 1/8th activity. So long as the capsule doesnt get broken there is no real risk from passing exposure.

Imagine an salamander eating and transforming into godzilla

[RDJ]

What’s it doing there in the first place??

[randygraham]

Rio Tinto mining company is the one that lost it. You don't want them as neighbors -- they're greedy and irrresponsible. They were transporting the capsule in old gym socks to save money.

[Studywithmeforneetpg]

That seems like a good start to a new Godzilla movie...

[leopoldpoppenberger]

An Emu swallowed it and run off with it there going to be lots of super birds Never to be found

[thomasmcrae]

How do you lose or misplace something radioactive you would think you'll be very very cautious and careful so therefore they better find that cuz I pray to God it's not something that's very very I'll and/deadly to any

[killuazoldyck]

LoL 🤣, illiterate Australia installed plutonium device to detect nuclear test 🤣 but the device robbed by China 😂🤣

[shubuak]

Bhai itni late bataya hai mai toh kuch utha laya hoon ...pata nahi shayad wahi ho😹
