18 blunt, 65 radiant damage, 6 constitution damage, continuous 1 constitution damage per day.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Eh 65 is survivable. We’re looking at more like 650.
MeatPilot@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The folks exposed died a few days after. So it wasn’t instant. Very slow and horrible probably as all their organs and cells died at a molecular level and skin fell off.
So damage over time and can not be healed. Would be accurate.
cooopsspace@infosec.pub 5 months ago
It’s damage over time, forever

i mean, to be clear, this isn’t a doomsday weapon, this is what we call a mass casualty weapon.
This is probably more closely related to starting a fire in the middle of a battlefield more than anything.

You’re no fun.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
i’m fun! You just need to be technically accurate when you’re having fun smh.
Now to be fair, i do have an autistic interest in nuclear power, so i know more than the average person. But like, it only makes it funnier :)

What’s not fun about starting a fire in the middle of a battlefield?

Make it the size of the moon. Now it’s a doomsday weapon?
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If you tried to make one the size of the moon, it would blow up a bit past the time you got it to the size of an atomic bomb core. Or, if you did it slowly enough, it would go critical but stop being pure enough to explode.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
i mean, maybe?
I don’t actually know how the physics would scale up to that size, would probably cause all kinds of havoc.

I don’t get it.

Demon Core. It was meant to be part of a third nuclear bomb to be dropped on Japan, but after their surrender, the core was used in two experiments which both killed several people via exposure to lethal doses of radiation.
Tja@programming.dev 5 months ago
It was used in hundreds of experiments, two of which killed the respective operator and injured others.

I favourite think about that story remains that even if everything had gone to plan and he hadn’t fully dropped the second half , it would still just be a couple of dudes with PhDs only slightly irradiating their own junk.
kernelle@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s becoming a meme because every creator who has anything to do with nuclear or tragedy has covered the demon core.
ThrowawaySobriquet@lemmy.world 5 months ago
The first time this thing killed someone was because they dropped a brick on it. The second time this thing killed someone was because they were fuckin around with it using a screwdriver

Didn’t they all have to stay in the same hospital room/area too? You’d be getting grilled for that till you die
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah reading the Wikipedia article, the drop is unfortunate but the screwdriver bit, what a fucking moron. And he regularly did this while others observed, like fuck me if you’re going to be a dumbass, be a dumbass by yourself, dumbass.
ThrowawaySobriquet@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Oh, for sure, the screwdriver was a “hold my beer” moment. The brick, though, I gotta disagree. While it was an unfortunate accident, we knew enough about radiation at that point to know even tiny accidents could delete you. Playing Legos around something I know could kill me in an attempt to ease it to the point of maybe almost killing me just sounds like a slightly better thought out way of asking someone to hold my beer

Demon core memes have been absolutely fucking everywhere

Me, I have no idea what this is about.
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Look up demon core on Wikipedia. It was the core from a nuclear weapon. Some dumbasses decided to play with it in very dangerous and stupid ways and died.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes, at least one person according to the comments.
pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
Honestly a bit surprised
Daft_ish@lemmy.world 5 months ago
So like when, what I assume is an irradiated piece of metal, slipped in the back of Homer’s shirt he killed himself and like the entire town, right?
The thing was glowing.

All it took is a good swing, and then your enemy are gone… as well as anything else in a couple of kilometers.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
except for the fact that it would be more like 50m at most, assuming that you count still living for 20 years, and the fact that the person wielding the weapon has already melted into a puddle of goo by that point, yeah. It’s a weapon with a ranged attack.
psud@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Melee area effect weapons. There’s a wand of fireball in Balders Gate 3 that is bent and has melee range. This is like that, but the fire is only analogous to fire and the effect lasts longer and does damage slower

A longer stick would be preferrable
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It wouldn’t be a doomsday weapon if it didn’t also kill the wielder.
jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
A few miles longer, just to be safe.
