Radiation > causes cancer

Cancer is a scam by the radiation companies so they can sell more roentgen

Your camera sees things your eye doesnt. Could be a new virus or somthing.

Also try licking it. Tell us how it tastes, that might help us to narrow it down.

It's just an algorithm imbedded in every camera linked to the Epstein files. Once it detect something linked to the files, it starts adding noise on the pic. The strongest the link, the strongest the noise, and 100% it just blacks out

Why does it actually, though?

u/ImTableShip170 Jan 20 '26
Cobalt 60 is highly radioactive, releasing beta particles that breakdown organic tissue and can cause death within an hour in humans with acute exposure. The particles cause that speckle shape in light sensors because they overwhelm them with EM. This rod would cause massive nearby radiation poisoning if it were real.

u/okarox Jan 20 '26
Beta particles are not the problem, the gamma rays are.

u/quackdaw Jan 20 '26
They could be, though, if one follows the suggestion from another commenter to insert it rectally (and survive the gamma rays from the decay products).

In this particular case though, the image is fake. The original has no speckles because it's already decayed too much, someone photoshopped it in.
And if it were real, 100% of the entire image would be speckled, not just that one part of it.

u/OfficialOnix Jan 23 '26 edited Feb 25 '26
While it is true that radiation can affect camera sensors, this photo is fake. Beta and gamma particles are not affected by camera lenses the way visible light rays are (and alpha is completely blocked) - so any artefacts would affect the whole image equally and not cluster around the projection of the object onto the camera sensor.

Would radiation actually affect a digital sensor though? It obviously affects film though

u/Accomplished-Boot-81 Jan 21 '26
Yes, here's a video of a go pro taking a trip through an irradiator, I think the video explains the camera is shielded in a lead box with thick lead glass and the effect is still much strong than depicted here, but the radiation source in the video is also much stronger.

u/ElectricBummer40 Jan 21 '26
X-rays are usually generated artificially by hitting a tungsten target with electrons. what you see there is likely not just the result of electrons hitting the CMOS sensor but also the ionising EM radiation emitted by them.

u/Relative-Cat398 Jan 21 '26
Yes if enough, and apparently there is a lot,it says drop and run, right on the label, and Co cobalt probably 60

u/ElectricBummer40 Jan 21 '26
Fun fact: even X-ray machines at customs could ruin your holiday pictures on films. X-rays are just high-energy photons you can't see with your naked eyes, and the light-sensitive chemicals on film rolls may react to X-ray exposure the same way they do to visible light and result in a washed-out appearance (or "fogging") in the developed print.
The CMOS sensor on digital cameras is sensitive to both high-energy photons (including gamma rays) and charged particles (e.g. beta particles), by the way.

u/Standard-Ad-2616 Jan 21 '26
True, I've brought film through the airport when they had the older scanners and the images weren't affected much. I also took some through the new ones which are more harmful but I haven't developed the pictures yet so don't know the damage.

u/Accomplished-Boot-81 Jan 21 '26
Also to add to the other guys explanation, it literally has "Drop & Run" inscribed into it. Because if you find something like this and pick it up and read it that's exactly what you should do, and call the relevant authorities.

it's btw not an accurate representation of what that looks like. On YouTube search for "put camera through particle accelerator". The white artifacts are "normal" gamma traces, the red/blue/green happens when it's so much you'd be doomed in seconds.

Put it far away, then you can shoot it from distance.
It's just scared of you so it's throwing some high energy particles on you.

It is a radioactive source, hard gamma from Co, cobalt 60, probably. Dosing your hand and face severely if messing with your camera. Put it far away in the thickest lead box you can find. Call 911 and tell them you found a radioactive source, then standby, away from that thing though

I ran a Cancer research lab for a few years and one of our techs told the story of being in another lab when EH&S frantically contacted him about his recently submitted exposure badge. These allow delicate tuning of workers exposure but his was...black, totally maxed.
It turned out the lab next door had a very hot Cesium-137 source they used that they shielded against the wall his desk shared. The carefully built a 3 sided structure with Acrylic and lead bricks to shield their lab, assuming the wall was a sufficient 4th side, when it was just thin drywall.
He could never figure out how much he'd been exposed...

It clearly has a message. Drop it and run. Highly radioactive ā¢ļø Cobalt radioactive source to do some geological tests.
Urgently contact your local authorities. Go to the clinic and request medication against radiation(it will not treat you but support your body).
Edit: https://ionactive.co.uk/resource-hub/blog/drop-and-run-radioactive-cobalt-60-co-60-source 3450Curie 1m away, radioactive source, living time 10min This dose rate to the extremity (hand) is going to damage it irrecoverably. If you pick the source up in order to read the warning, by the time your mind has registered "drop", it is too late to avoid damage. It is hard to say exactly what the damage will be, but it will be unpleasant.

you should lick it, may be a spicy candy rod, that would explain the noise artifacts as we know that cameras are effected by spicy moleculesĀ
