Remember 100 years ago when radiation was new and exciting and poorly understood, and companies were putting radiation into everything?

Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.
@cammerman I once had a wrist watch with dials and numbers that glowed in the dark. And that was only 50 years ago.

Thalidomide was a big winner, too. -

@cammerman@mstdn.social and with everything monitoring us being cloud-based... Are we being poisoned as well as being always watched?

@cammerman the thing is, radiations wasn't that poorly understood. factory bosses worked out that it was harmful when lots of their workers who were exposed to it a lot kept coming down sick with the same symptoms. they just surpressed the information for as long as they could, because people finding out would be bad for business
just like how fossil fuel companies were the first to discover global warming and made sure to proactively spread misinformation about it

I remember getting shoes fitted with this.
@artnacrea @cammerman Yes! I'm an 80's kid and I remember one of these, think I even used it. It must have been one of the very last in service in the UK.

@cammerman Did we learn our lesson? I did research on dental radiography (a.o. panoramic images) There is still an enormous misuse of radiation in medical and dental practice. It’s an easy way of making money and therefore a triggering factor. The radiology rate should be $ZERO and included in diagnostics.

Radium is just but one element on the periodic table, all isotopes of which being highly unstable. There's noting evil nor good about it.
The things the tech bros name their "creations" after are deliberately constructed as such evils.
@datenwolf @ZenHeathen @cammerman Not sure if you say it for Palantir but these objects are not inherently evil in the silmarillion and are in fact created by an elf
(yes I'm a big tolkien nerd)

Panoramic dental x-rays are equal to about 4-hours in an aircraft at 30,000’. Radiation treatment after a mastectomy is a rust colored burn that goes through the ribs to the edge of the lungs. -

@DrJay @cammerman oh crap. I had one of those too. And that was 40 years ago.
