Not So Tuff Now Are We?

This meme brilliantly roasts the "alpha male" concept using nuclear physics! It shows different types of radiation and their penetrating abilities through various materials:

  • Alpha particles (α) - stopped by a sheet of paper
  • Beta particles (β) - penetrate paper but stopped by aluminum
  • X-rays and gamma rays - penetrate deeper through multiple materials
  • Neutrons - the most penetrating, going through almost everything

The joke demolishes guys who boast about being "alpha males" by pointing out that in radiation physics, alpha particles are actually the weakest and least penetrating form of radiation. They're literally stopped by paper!

So much for that alpha energy. Next time someone claims alpha status, just hand them this physics lesson and watch them question their entire personality.
