But What About Godzilla?

But What About Godzilla?
The eternal battle between nuclear energy doomers and scientific consensus! On the left, we have the panicked conspiracy theorist convinced we're all one uranium rod away from growing a third arm. Meanwhile, actual scientific data from organizations like the UN shows minimal public health impacts from incidents like Fukushima. The crying wojak perfectly captures that special brand of nuclear anxiety that ignores how coal plants casually release more radiation than nuclear facilities during normal operation. But hey, who needs peer-reviewed studies when you can have spectacular movie monsters? The title "But What About Godzilla?" is *chef's kiss* - because clearly that's the next logical argument in this debate.

Ya Gotta Wonder...

Ya Gotta Wonder...
Nothing like a good dose of radiation panic to boost those ratings! The meme highlights the classic disconnect between scientific risk assessment and media coverage. When Japan released treated Fukushima wastewater that meets international safety standards (and is actually more dilute than what's already in your tap), journalists suddenly became nuclear physicists. The irony is delicious - we're swimming in a sea of much more dangerous everyday chemicals that never make headlines. Remember folks, the dose makes the poison... and apparently, the clickbait too.

The Great Arabic Numeral Conspiracy

The Great Arabic Numeral Conspiracy
The irony here is thicker than a textbook on differential equations. Those "Arabic numerals" everyone's panicking about? They're the ones you've been using your entire life: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. This is what happens when scientific literacy takes a vacation while fear works overtime. The same folks who'd be outraged about learning "Arabic numerals" probably don't realize they're already calculating their conspiracy theories using... Arabic numerals. Next up: Michigan forces students to learn the "foreign" concept of gravity. The horror!
