    This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.

    Of course, so does “bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones” and “including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow”

      Sadly, it is. (But not for Fallout specifically.)

    I believed this was real until I searched for it 😂 To be fair to my own credulity, Plutonium Jazz would not be the most insane thing people did with radioactive materials back then. The “medicines” alone make Plutonium Jazz sound pretty tame.

    But Geiger counters aren’t rhythmic at all, radioactive decay is, pretty famously, random.

      True, much like memes are pretty famously fabricated.

      Rhythmic? No, not really. More exciting if the musician could somehow anticipate this fundamentally unpredictable event? Absolutely.

        Well, its random, like… by definition.

    If there were hazardous levels of radiation, the clicks would be a squeal, you wouldn’t be able to match a rhythm to it

      Right. If you were to attempt something like this, you’d be better off with something like a chunk of granite than plutonium.

    Why would aliens ever visit us? They’d observe from afar, laugh a scornful laugh, and guard against any of us getting near them.
