Thank you 🙏

Its an antimeme

Regular uranium is not radioactive enough. The horse will get cancer but not radiation poisoning. You have to use either enriched uranium or plutonium, or something more exotic.

Wtf? Why? Is this a joke I didn't get?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 32 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Can you think of a more efficient way to give the horses radiation poisoning?

Having them eat something containing a radioactive isotope comes to mind...

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 7 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Okay smart guy, but how about when you can't make them eat anything?

[–] Dalvoron@lemmy.zip 5 points 17 hours ago

Like in that famous idiom, you can lead a horse to radioactive pellets, but you can't make it eat.

You can always get them to eat, I've never had a horse not eating when handfed...

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

You put it into the water trough, and then you take the horse to it

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wouldn't a small nuke or dirty bomb work?

Oh, sure, if your horses are all in the same place.

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

uhm... put them in a place with lots of radiation...? wait...why do we want horses to have radiation poisoning again?

[–] ulterno@programming.dev -2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think mortn is unable to relate to the outcome (of giving horses radiation poisoning) being desirable.
Kinda similar to people who can't get the Joker's desire to "See the world burn", which is why they don't understand his jokes.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think anybody said it's desirable. It just has to be done.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Gotta irradiate somethin'

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 15 hours ago

A horse walks into a bar.

The bartender says “why the long face?”

The horse says “I’ve got radiation poisoning.”
