      What does the titan do? Bath bomb? Pressure sensor? Maybe a coin bank? You smash it when it’s full.

          Oh man now I’m imagining having two tanks set up side by side, one labeled “before” with the little prop suspended on fishing line somewhere around the middle of the water column, and a second one labeled “after” with a crushed craft little chunks scattered all over the bottom…

      Ehhhhhh.

      Stuff like this is hilarious up until you meet someone who had family in the area or who has memories of everyone panicking around them when the NPP failed (said panic spread pretty far throughout Western Europe…)

      Don’t get me wrong. I am all for some dark edgelord jokes. But the kind where I can choose my audience. Because, best case scenario, stuff like this screams “I’m an edgelord” and, at worst, it leads to someone calling you on your bullshit when they come over.

      Its similar to big titty anime girl figures. Yes, it will probably cause a conversation. Think through what kinds of conversations would result and… are those conversations you want to have?

        Too soon still. In France they were bullshiting us that the radiation had stopped at the border, while all the radiologic alarms in the fire stations were going off.

          Yeah. Some very good friends of mine are a German couple and one of them has talked about how she remembers being scared shitless one day and all the precautions that were taken for the next year or three over radiation and the like. She’ll join in for jokes about russia mismanaging things and actually really enjoys the STALKER games, but I also remember how she was very clearly having a mild panic attack all throughout the Fukushima incident and the like.

          Its a mindset I see with a lot of American millennials. Our big “disaster” was 9-11. And, unless you lived in NYC (or I guess near the Pentagon), odds are it was just a weird day where you got to go home from school early and weren’t allowed to watch TV. My uncle was in one of the towers and I remember the panic as my mother was frantically trying to figure out if he was fine (he ended up walking home without his shoes and we still don’t know what happened during his trauma induced blackout). But, for me? It was just sitting around at home with no real impact. And while I suspect this is why the Cranston Godzilla REALLY hits for me, yeah.

          But if you were a kid who has memories of your family going batshit insane trying to protect you? That leaves trauma marks.

              I very much align with the WKUK gag of “comedy is tragedy remembered”

              But the key is: it is YOUR tragedy. Not someone else’s. Hence, know your audience.

      Now I just need to find a 3D artist willing to make my vision for a Charlie Kirk fountain a reality…

        Thanks now I have the image of a cheap plastic Charlie fountain, oversized head in the booth with the banner in front in my head

          The cheaper and tackier the better!

      I saw a store selling “drop and run” cobalt replicas. Some things are just distasteful.

        That’s kind of fucked up if there’s not an indication that it’s a replica. Akin to yelling fire in a theater if someone used one of them maliciously.

        Perhaps it could be kind of neat as a curio if it’s a highly engineered/beautiful work of art (that is maybe too expensive to use for malicious ‘jokes’). But I’d still want it to have some sort of indication that folks aren’t getting dosed/they don’t have to trigger a response by your local atomic energy officials.

        Editing to add that before I picked Krakatoa (fingers crossed on my inability to predict natural disasters), I actually searched for “disasters with no death toll” to use as an example for a potential model without much success. It is in poor taste and my comments are definitely parody.
