196I live near a radioactive area that almost no body knows about.
The only reason I know about it is because a buddy of mine let me borrow one of those small Geiger counters you clip to a bag, or vest, and when hiking one day started getting a higher beep rate when walking past one small valley. So naturally I went off trail to follow the potentially deadly radiation.
Well after the counter started beeping at an alarming rate at me out of nowhere I just decided I didn't feel needing a hospital, and booked it to the car. No bump on the counter on any clothing or boots, so no material was disturbed and tracked around at least.
I'm not 100% certain where I was as I had been hiking for several hours, but I absolutely want to go back with a few people and see if I can find it again, cause there were no markers I could see, and if it's an unknown area, that presents a problem that some nuclear regulatory agency or other should be looking into.
Probably just Radon. You should check your basement as well.
There are natural sources of radiation, but enough radiation to make your googoogaga meter go babies is certainly cause for concern.
I understood that reference. :)

googoogaga meter go babies
Come again?
Perfectly cromulent phrasing.
I think autocorrect changed, "geiger meter go bonkers/ bananas" to what we got
Either that, or they may be a preschool teacher
I see nothing wrong with this
Yes, that's how the babies get made.
Preganté

I can’t tell if this is hilarious autocorrect or poetic license, but it works. Even though I don’t know what words you wanted to use (if the former), I absolutely know what you meant.
It's probably a reference.

Don't you just hate it when your googoogaga meter goes babies?
Yeah that seems like something worth reporting to someone
I've actually thought about bringing my mesh radio for GPS coordinates and buying my own clip Geiger counter just so I can go find it. It's been a few years, and I haven't heard anything about it, nor can I find anything online. Iwas pretty far out on unmarked but well-traveled trails, and didn't have a GPS or the mind to keep track of all the forks. The trails are also not on a map, so I'll have to make my own or borrow a GPS that will keep track of my trail...
Damn, even looking at terrain maps isn't as helpful as you'd think.
To play devil's advocate, natural anthrax is nothing like weaponized anthrax. It's fine, probably, and antibiotics cure it. Still though.
I don't think people realize that the bacteria that cause Anthrax exists in small quantities anywhere there is soil. All of us were probably exposed to at least some Bacillus anthracis bacteria today. It's the dose that makes the poison.
What if we kissed at the anthrax boat launch 👉👈
can we please have picnic at picnic spot?
This reads like the inner thoughts of a Roller Coaster Tycoon NPC lol
I want to get off Mr Bones Wild Ride
:(
Of course!!!! 💖❤️💖
ummmm okioki i make hot cocoa ---- do u want vegan or non vegan?
can also make sandwiches.... thinkin of tomato+salad+cucumber and some with cheese and some with egg.
I'll take non vegan, but I favor whichever you think tastes better. I'd love to eat your homemade sandwiches too!
The first Lemmy meetup and it's next to an Anthrax burial spot, how fitting...
I’m not leaving the house, but voting for the vegan hot cocoa anyways. Or rather throwing together soy milk with cocoa powder right now.
edit: *sips hot cocoa*
Here I thought all the parks converted from superfund sites here in NJ were wild. Those anthrax spores can survive buried indefinitely depending on the climate.
Where is this

Says so on the image, "a real place". What more information could you possibly need? /s
I can’t quite sleuth it well enough, but it appears there’s lots of places like this.
One example is in Kaua’i. It’s too inland of a location compared to the image posted though.
Is Anthrax bad for you?
Yes.
Ok, I will stay away. Thanks.
Just make sure you're upwind!
Nah Gruinard doesn't have anything on it, at least not on Google maps sattelite view.
