    It’s such a weird confluence of idea quality

    Breeding the glowing cats is such a genius idea for a long lasting radiation warning that’ll survive whatever societal upheaval over time (assuming you can do it and they wind up also working as normal cats)

    Assuming that this song will survive when the simple one-sentence factual information “Hey if the cats start glowing it’s radiation GTFO” is so patently wrong

    I get the idea that it is more brainstorming than actual serious proposal, but even within that realm

      The songs were half of the plan. The other half was to genetically engineer cats that glow when exposed to higher levels or radiation.
