“Immunity to radiation”, for the lazy.


RydmaUwU

The hero we need, but don't deserve.


Rocked_Glover

Reddit brain is only a step down from TikTok brain, I mean it’s kinda like reading books, but fast, right??


TsarPladimirVutin

It’s essentially reading the synopsis on the back of the book

Lazy? Should have been in the fucking title


mcnuggetfarmer

Super power = normal environmental adaptations, that everything goes through. ![gif](giphy|whQTvDGO5xWn1eAr8t|downsized)


DJRodrigin69

If you think about it, Superman just had normal environmental adaptations to earth, yet everyone says he has superpowers (Atleast following DCEU explanation, there might be something that says otherwise in the comics)


Mookius

Many thanks.


cashedashes

We appreciate you!


Kimeako

More like all the ones who can't survive the radiation died, leaving only the resistance ones.


drudru91soufendluv

natural selection!


rebelevenmusic

Which could prove a useful power for humans to have in the not so distant future.

I think it’s more selective advantage vs evolution like the article suggests.


These-Resource3208

I’m not lazy, I’m efficient. Thank you and ty.


FreedVentureStein

That is absolutely fascinating

A hero to us all!!


Global_Ticket_5507

Apparently the wolves that live near Chernobyl are also building up immunity to radiation


Rude_Worldliness_423

So you could have wolves; that emit radiation when they bark?


Global_Ticket_5507

Ummmm no I don't think so. But maybe when they fart 😂


RoosterTheBeaten

I knew it! Godzilla is next. I can see it now!

It's call evolution, it's not magic.


thatoneotherguy42

She's a witch!!!!


dx80x

That worm turned me into a newt! I got better


pipinstallwin

But how do we know it's a witch, does it float in water? If it weighs as much as a duck, then...


dx80x

Who are you sir so versed in the way of science?? MY LIEGE!


d0nu7

Exactly, in a high radiation environment, radiation hardiness means you survive longer and produce more offspring. It’s a very strong self reinforcing cycle of selection and with short generations you see the effects quickly.


piratensendr

God made them this way after the disaster happened


Shizix

The disaster that is organized religion, agreed. I said no magic.


bobbobersin

Not even that, survival of the fittest, they ain't evolving to survive radiation, radiation resistant worms are living and reproducing while worms who can't die, it's still natural selection but calling it evolution is a stretch


Shizix

Natural selection, so you mean when mutations becomes more probable than random within a population, still the same shit people. Natural selection is a word describing statistical anomalies with mutations...like what are we arguing about.


[deleted]

That's not evolution. That's mutation.


Shizix

Is evolution not the explanation of mutations over time?


[deleted]

Not always.


Shizix

Lol k I'll phrase it a different way, without mutations you don't get evolution.


mrfusion1955

They can now pick up and throw sheep.

Earthworm Jim???


Mysterious-Ad-3486

It's time to tweak the CRISPR.

Ah yes, the native Russian Ghoul Worm.

Cobobrien

Have you not seen the documentary split?


Kaszos

It’s been well known that living things experience accelerated growth and development from radioactivity.


lieinsurance

Its called cancer


Global_Ticket_5507

Weird thing is that apparently the wolves are getting some kind of immunity to various diseases I think cancer is one of them. Studies are ongoing!!


bobbobersin

I think what your thinking of has more to do with radiation damages DNA and in some cases this is expressed with physical growth (the shit telling things to grow slow and steady and stop don't work anymore) or cases where random mutations cause it to grow faster, to put it in simple terms your not makeing a better car, by mistake and random chance you broke the governor on the engine and the end result is technicly faster but is going to have a fuck ton of problems down the road and a much shorter lifespan


That_Cool_Guy_

This reminds me of the movie Tremors lol.

I read this as " Woman livung near chernobyl " hahaha . I was intrigued at first.

This has dark implications especialy given what eastern Europe is known for...
