Today we're waiting for an IKEA delivery that, according to their email, will be a 10x10x10 cm box weighing 14 kg.

So density-wise that has to contain berkelium, californium, protactinium, tantalum, uranium, gold, tungsten, plutonium, neptunium, rhenium, platinum, iridium, or osmium.

We're of course hoping for platinum, and really not for plutonium, because the critical mass is 11 kg...

@Zarkonnen If it's plutonium, I don't think the delivery is going to arrive.

@mhkohne @Zarkonnen It could, if it is split in two parts with a neutron catcher in between. Don’t know whether the available space is sufficient for that though.

@WPalant @mhkohne @Zarkonnen Since it's IKEA, it comes with set of drawings explaining how to assemble the two halves

@Sven @fgrosshans @mhkohne @Zarkonnen As usual: bullshit generator (a.k.a. “AI”) produces bullshit. This drawing makes not sense whatsoever. It may be somewhat inspired by nuclear reactor design, but…

@WPalant @Sven @fgrosshans @mhkohne @Zarkonnen using a bullshit generator to help generate shitposts and cheap silly jokes sounds spot on
