Reasonable response especially since Kirby would probably survive

He'll eat a tomato with a big M on it and be fine
I bet those taste amazing.
Better or worse than the invincibility lollipop?
Ever had a really really good tomato? I don't think anyone lollipop can get to that level. Maybe a cakepop
That reminds me, I gotta check the local farmer's market for heirloom tomatoes
Gonna harvest some seeds and grow my own
It is SO worth it. I lived on a huge fucking hobby farm (and was the only person able bodied enough to farm aside from my gf at the time and she had less inclination and endurance by a good bit to LARP as a peasant). Had like a kilometer to mess with and then a giant forest beyond that to work with. It was no where close to self sustaining but I did grow a fuck load of delicious veggies. Tomatoes are easily thr biggest gap between grocery store and home grown. Potatoes are pretty much the same, most onions aren't too different. Bell peppers are about even, my indoor spicy bois I dunno cause theyre hard to get fresh in Canada. Carrots are a lot nicer. Grew a fuckload of pumpkins too, theyre good eatin' and having a giant pumpkin patch for haloween was a goal. Cucumbers are more flavorful and less watery. They also pickle better. Tomatoes are the biggest change tho, some grocery store beefsteak tom is mid af and is good for a sandwich I guess. A fine tomato from a garden can be eaten like an apple.
I feel like those would taste like too much glucose.
You know what is crazy is that we had our own Chernobyl here in California at three mile island and it didn't get its own tv series.
The island was literally glowing for several days.
California is a little further east than I remember! (Three Mile Island is in Pennsylvania)
Weirdly, there was a movie that came out 12 days BEFORE the incident called The China Syndrome which was centered on a fictional nuclear power plant accident in Los Angelesβmaybe that's what you're remembering?
Huh no shit I must be mistaking it for our own shuttered nuclear plant.
The main reason for this is that Chernobyl was much worse. There's a scale used by the IAEA to describe the severity of nuclear accidents, which is designed to be logarithmic IE a 2 is 10x more severe than a 1 is 10x more severe than a 0. Chernobyl is one of two 7s (the other being Fukushima), while Three Mile Island is a 5.
There's definitely anti-communism involved, but from what I can tell, almost no radiation was released from Three Mile Island's facility itself (though it did breach the area where radioactive materials are supposed to be). Chernobyl spread contamination over large parts of modern-day Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, as well as beyond.
I didn't know Fukushima was that bad.
I believe it's mostly due to the amount of contaminants released, and Fukushima had a giant leak directly into the ocean.
Yeah, but have you considered that foreigners bad? 
There's been quite a lot of power plant fuckups in truth, but Chernobyl being the first one made it an exemple to avoid, especially considering how worse it could have gone. It also shed a light on the dangers to the public and how any government can fuck up and lie about it, not just communists ones, even if it surely made perfect anti-USSR propaganda.
In my (capitalist) country we've even had a saying ever since the disaster : Β«The radiations can't get past our bordersΒ», wich is said to express distrust in our own government to act accordingly to any disaster... Because when Chernobyl happend of course that what they said, even when people got sick. I'm sure all of Europe has similar sayings and distrust ever since.
Having said that, it'd sure be great to have other shows about other nuclear distasters/contaminations, it'd spread a wider awerness of them, and even if some were less impactfull than others it'd still be enough to make great stories.
This is why Earth was fucked in Kirby 64
Wasn't there once some french nuclear plant workers who when told they wouldn't be getting their way in a labour dispute mailed their boss an image of the nuclear controls, or am I misremembering that?
Based if true
its ok kirbo. I can take it
Shit kirby doesn't even need the nuke. He's a planet buster on a bad day, universal threat at best
Oh fuck im gonna kirb
goddamit
I highly recommend watching Terminal Montage videos with captions on, by the way. You get some very educational content courtesy of the NHTSA!
yeah, he's still cookin'
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
