    Someone needs to learn about cumulative effects.

      Sommeliers spit out the wine that they tell you to drink. Very suspicious. /s

      This is such a dumb trope that keeps getting repeated in memes. Dosage size matters.

      Also we probably shouldn’t tell them about background radiation.

      For the curious a chest X-ray is about 0.02 mSv where your annual dose from background is about 2.4mSv, but this easily can be twice this if you live at high altitude or in an area with a higher level of radioactive minerals. Or if you are very lucky somewhere where both are a problem.

      Hell airline crews are classified as radiation workers because the higher doses of cosmic radiation puts them over the threshold of on job exposure .

      Is it cumulative? Or is it probability — which of course goes up if you shower yourself in radiation multiple times a day?

    Imagine you’re a bartender, and every time someone orders a shot, you have to take one too. One? Totally fine. Two? No problem. A hundred? You’re gonna want a bucket (or a lead shield) to dump that shot (or radiation) in

    Eat one meatball sub and you’re fine.

    Eat 20 meatball subs a day, 5 days a week, for your entire professional career? Not medically advisable.

    Cause for you its probably your only xray for that year.

    For the doctor its probably the 50th, of 500, that day.

    So they go behind shielding to protect themselves from their massively higher than yours exposure.

      It’s actually really logical.

      Your Balls constantly store and generate new DNA, which can easily be destroyed by X-Rays. Your Brain doesn’t really.

      So your Balls are really vulnerable to X-Ray, while your brain isn’t

        Also: where pee is stored. And we can’t be irradiating that, or have we so soon forgotten?

    everyone has already covered the obvious here, but another important protocol for dealing with radiation, particularly the spicy kind. Is to incur as low a cost of exposure as possible. I.E. if you don’t need to be in front of the spicy particles. Don’t be.

    I do believe this is the most ironing boards I’ve seen in one picture (that doesn’t have to do with ironing boards).

    I was unaware they are apparently sought after for cover?
