Can you think of a more efficient way to give the horses radiation poisoning?

Having them eat something containing a radioactive isotope comes to mind...

Okay smart guy, but how about when you can't make them eat anything?

[–] Dalvoron@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Like in that famous idiom, you can lead a horse to radioactive pellets, but you can't make it eat.

You can always get them to eat, I've never had a horse not eating when handfed...

Tell me you've never tried to feed a horse enriched uranium without telling me..

U235 pellets in an apple...easy peasy

You put it into the water trough, and then you take the horse to it

I mean while I'm in there

Wouldn't a small nuke or dirty bomb work?

[–] stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

uhm... put them in a place with lots of radiation...? wait...why do we want horses to have radiation poisoning again?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

I don't understand the question.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think mortn is unable to relate to the outcome (of giving horses radiation poisoning) being desirable.
Kinda similar to people who can't get the Joker's desire to "See the world burn", which is why they don't understand his jokes.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I don't think anybody said it's desirable. It just has to be done.
