It's an anti paparazzi cinnamon stick

Yup, just slip it in their camera bag. After a time, poof, no more paparazzi.

Put it inside you. Anti-photography suppository

Who needs those shirts/scarves that reflect back all the light and wash everything out, when you can carry this handy little pill that just renders everyone’s film in a ten foot radius moot.

Love how it says drop and run

It's probably just a replica, but then again...

On 13 September 1999, six people tried to steal ^60^Co rods from a chemical plant in the city of Grozny, Chechen Republic. During the theft, the suspects opened the radioactive material container and handled it, resulting in the deaths of three of the suspects and injury of the remaining three. [Wikipedia]

The suspect who held the material directly in his hands died of radiation exposure 30 minutes later.

How long did he hold it!? scared Nobody at Chernobyl died nearly that fast from acute exposure alone IIRC.

Bit aside, what actually is that thing?

[–] Coolguybest@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A rod of Cobalt-60, a highly radioactive isotope. There's a reason it says on the side "Drop & run". Its radioactivity is the reason it's messing up the photo- as the energetic radiation strikes the cells in the phone camera, it causes those cells to light up.

It's a replica of one, that's why the visual noise isn't uniform: it's edited in.

Some radioactive stick of something
