This doctored image was probably one of many created on Reddit when a tiny six millimeter capsule containing caesium-137 was lost in the Australian outback in January 2023.

This was before the fall of Reddit because of the third-party Apps.

What the heck was that radioactive capsule emergency in Western Australia all about?

It began as the scarcely believable tale of a very tiny and very lost radioactive "Tic Tac" in the Australian desert, and ended up a planet-sized news story.

@alex_mastodon @zemlanin @litbong @erin yeah, doctored as if it was real radioactive noise on the sensor it would not be concentrated in the middle. Also the use might not be feeling great. Amazing piece of meta humour though 😂. And I totally forgot about that missing capsule until now!
