The radium craze extended from Radithor to radioactive suppositories for sex power and no I am not kidding. Regulation is good, actually.
reminder that there was a time when they were literally selling radium soft drinks in the USA that were so toxic that the biggest fan of the brand had to be buried in a lead coffin because of how much radiation poisoning he got from them and this death led to the FDA regulations that exist now

But think about all the superhero origin stories we’re missing out on thanks to overregulation of radioactive sex suppositories

Good reminder.The key takeaway is not only is industry stupendously incompetent at figuring out what will and won't do horrifying damage to the human body,but even more to the point,they'll actively hide the fact once they do know.They are NOT moral actors.Regulation and unions create that illusion.
