it's fallout time

To think, if I'd lived there as a kid I never would have gotten cancer later on!

Well hopefully Russia's artillery didn't kill the only specimen whose resistance could be transferred to humans.

Definitely not that surprising. All that radiation is going to provide an environment that strongly 'selects' for cancer suppressing genes. Its survival of the fittest in action.

I predict increase in price for real estate around Chernobyl

No way, it's too dangerous!
It's full of wolves which evidently can't be killed!

I mean how the hell did they not all die from cancer in the first place? It's funny how humans can't survive in Chernobyl for 10 minutes without a hazmat suit but these animals are thriving there and even gaining superpowers.

[vkobe]

yup no cancer resistance die, so it mean only resistance cancer can reproduce each other

because they are not close to reactor, mostly they are in diluted radiation dust with other material, not in very concentred radiation dust near nuclear reactor

by that logic the decision to shell an uninhabited nuclear reactor ought to cause the humans to subconsciously choose targetting positions that will maximize the chance of hitting a beneficial wolf.

their genetic compatiability, and the sheer benefit to humanity resulting from it, ought to cause it to be a target for humanity's self-destructive impulses.

By Chernobyl do you mean the powerplant or the exclusion zone, because yeah nothing can "live" in the powerplant itself

The Red Forest is still very irradiated
But yeah most of the Chernobyl area isn't THAT hot anymore.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Fun fact: every organic life-form has inactive cancer cells.

How cancer is triggered is still a science mystery but the fact is that we already have them inactive so this is merely smokescreen to the true cause of active cancer.
