Thanks To Wilhelm Roentgen
The classic "distracted boyfriend" meme gets a scientific makeover! In 1895, Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays could penetrate soft tissue but not bones, creating the first medical images. Fast forward to this meme where the boyfriend ("X-rays") is initially checking out "my body" but then gets completely distracted by "my bones" instead. It's literally the perfect representation of how X-rays work - they pass right through soft tissue but stop at dense calcium structures. Your skeleton is basically an attention-grabbing superstar to X-ray radiation. Next time you're at the radiologist, remember your bones are the real celebrities in that room!

Lactose Vs. Lethal Dose
Comparing lactose intolerance to radiation exposure is like comparing a paper cut to decapitation. 90,000,000 roentgens is roughly 900 Sieverts - that's about 180 times the lethal dose. Your test subjects wouldn't be worrying about dairy products anymore. They'd be atomically restructured into what we in the lab call "very dead." Fun fact: At that dose, their cells would be so thoroughly ionized they'd practically glow. Not from radiation - from being vaporized.
