@makeda6530 Oh, yeah once we found out how to properly abuse physics to give our pointy sticks both higher range and damage, it was a wrap. Slapping metal on our pointy sticks is just the cherry on top. Suck it leopards that once disemboweled my ancestors, humanity #1!
The Chernobyl meltdown happened in 1986. I remember seeing it on TV and my seven year old brain started to prepare for battling my neighbors for food and gasoline. "JUST WALK AWAY LARRY, AND THERE WILL BE AN END TO THE HORROR. JUST WALK AWAY!"
I sure was. I remember it happening right before I moved to Norway for a stint. The local government and wildlife officials were adamant about not eating any fresh water fish.
Remember, it's not 'im not alone my friends will be along soon' because if your friends don't show up, they'll know you were lying. The best thing to do is let them know someone is expecting you, but knows where you are. 'My friends dropped me off, and expect me soon' 'my friends were doing some boring shit I don't care about and I'm meeting them in about an hour.' Keep it vague and unverifiable. Anyway, there's a movie about maybe some kind of worms that make you immortal. And it has lots of application of force enhancers. You should check it out.
Or, and this is to be taken as a joke, just go "Oh you're gonna end me? ..Thanks. Really. Saves me a lot of trouble, as I just couldnt decide on the method. Mind deleting my browser history while you're at it though? ..So what are we going with, force enhancer, rope, stabby? Some pills perhaps?"
Roanoke would either be a good S.T.A.L.K.E.R because of his willingness to force multiply mutties or a bad one because he would be too curious about them and poke them with sticks.
Sad fact: one of the developers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was Ukrainian and died fighting to protect his country from invaders. Fun fact: lots and lots of Ruzzians dug a bunch of trenches around the Chernobyl area in 2022, died of radiation poisoning, and their bodies were shipped by rail car to Belarus for cremation.
As a nuclear engineer I have to make few corrections /bonus info to add to your video: 1. Over 90% of chernobyl's exclusion zone is perfectly livable and had some people living there for many decades without anything happening to them. It is still closed, because overall radiation in that area is higher than the maximum "allowed" limit, however, this limit is more than 1'000 higher than the minimum effect limit (the minimal possible dose for your body to absorb and start showing health effects due to the absorption). You would need to live near chernobyl for over 5'000 years before your body absorbs enough radiation to negatively affect your health; 2. Main danger of radiation, that is ionizing radiation, is not the emission of alfa, beta, gama or neutrons in the open location. The main danger is radioactive particles (especially heavy metals) entering your body through lungs or mouth, and then you body absorbing them. Because skin (muscle and fat also included) acts as shield for your organs against ionizing radiation, getting radioactive atoms delivered directly to your organs is over 1'000 more lethal. Moreover, as heavy elements decay, they produce all sorts of nasty compounds within a living body, which also contributes to damage radioactive atoms cause when they enter your body; 3. Brain is actually one of safest organs when it comes to radiation. Because it protected by hair, skin, bone and to some extent brain fluid, it is in one of the safest sports within human body, so any damage to your body due to long exposure to ionizing radiation wouldn't develop as "going feral".
As Roanoke would say: you're a huge nerd. All joking aside that is actually incredibly interesting. Needless to say, I will not be traveling there anytime soon
You're failing to account for radiation causing both hair loss and thinning of skin and bone density So the brain wouldnt be as safe in just a persistent elevated radiation exposure for such a long time Also the brain isnt an organ it's a muscle
What I don't understand is that there are channels that are bigger and just do movie summaries, no science, no film filters, nothing yet those don't get hit as much or often as this channel
Majority of people dont like wondering and getting taught stuff. They just want something quick and easy. Could also imagnie his name being Gaming doesnt help catching the movie market.
The Anglerfish "lunges" at him while showing it barely move. Lol. You're completely rational fear and eye witnessing is some of the best comedy on TH-cam and I love it.
Just saw a vid about the elephant's foot and short about some kind of fungi that is actually eating the radiation on said elephant's foot, and now this showed up.😂
Yeah, I was just talking about this. And it isn’t growing in spite of the radiation it is thriving and growing towards the elephants foot like slime mold towards food. Nature is crazy
@@ryanlegg4261there are snails with iron shells that live their lives sucking on hydrothermal vents. Life finds a way in pretty strange and spectacular ways
Few points. It was 1986, not 76. It happed couple years after i was born. There have been people living in the exclusion zone since it happened with most deaths due to lack of access to modern amenities. The plant itself was still runnjng and producing power up until 2000 with workers living in a converted railway station near the plant (those who have played stalker call of prypyat, it's the station that freedom and duty hang out in, yes in real life it was converted into a hotel) There were workers at the site until 2015 decommissioning the plant. Radiation levels in the zone are not as high as people fear, (on average about 12x background) and the site is considered a nature reserve
Hey @RoanokeGaming, is Your greatest fear an angler fish infected with a form of rabies that also have prions in the virus, and this fish only lives and thrives in brain eating amiba infested waters?
there was the dogs but true is never good not to see or hear any other animals around as it often means something they are afraid of is nearby or they have been already eaten by something XD
I did enjoy the HBO mini series about the Chernobyl incident. Sure it isnt the biggest meltdown, but it could of been much worse. Plus how the USSR kept telling everyone "It isnt that bad" like a brother telling his other brother, "I didn't you hard, dont cry."
The series on it's own is very good and scared me a lot, wich is extremely hard to accomplish But it had such fear mongering about nuclear energy and raging anti communism/Soviet union that I just couldn't finish It's like if physically impossible to someone making an movie or series to be at least neutral on the Soviet Union, no they have to be fucking bond villains And the anti nuclear sentiment is just stupid and an big reason of why climate change will make this earth uninhabitable, we should've gone full nuclear energy as an species back in the 70s But noooo Chernobyl happened and now everyone is scared, definitely not propaganda made by oil barons and coal barons
the series spreads alot of mis info, like most of it is worng. Kyle Hill has a much better YT series on Chernobly, even going to the plant itself and talking to the workers there.
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that an Ukrainian man couldnt fix a buchanka that was running fine in the past decade with his own hands.
In 1986, clouds carrying radiation moved over West Wales. The rain irradiated the sheep. Elevated radiation levels were still found in sheep 10 years later.
@jdogzerosilverblade299 modern nuclear energy is actually really safe, there's a plethora of safety precautions and programs that stop anything bad from happening
“Fun” fact - There’s a condition that makes you extremely hungry all of the time, regardless of how full you are. My ex girlfriend had it. Weirdly, we met in a cooking class and she was extremely skinny, not what you’d expect from a person that’s hungry all the time lol
Heard of a few chromosomal conditions that will do that. Prader-Willi is the most famous but there's a few. Has something to do with like the vagus nerve and the hypothalamus...
Haven't watched the video yet, but if someone comments about a radioactive chernobyl angler fish and then it turns out to be true, I'm gonna fucking lose it 😂 Edit: Just found out my grandma died
After chemo and double masectomy I have radiatation treatment on my chest coming up soon. Sorta kismet that you posted this because I've been avoiding looking up stuff about it (in denial i know) so even just hearing how it will effect my body is a relief.....at least coming from you in this form. Anywho thanks @Roanoke Gaming for another radiently awesome video and giving me a chuckle as I'm healing.
@zerotodona1495 it wasn't but when the plastic surgeon found out he felt particularly moved by my situation and told me he would never send me a bill. Even all the medicines I picked up from the pharmacy were paid for. I'll forever be in Dr. Alexander Nguyens debt.
I think the sediment at the bottom retains radiation and the folks stirring up the water with their hands and bodies would cause that gunk to swirl about in the water exposing you to the rads. Source: fallout 4-76
@@VertigoIncline-tv2rd you are correct, but so long as they aren't outright covering themselves in the sediment, and other formations, they should be okay, at most the sediment kicked up into the water would retain a banana's worth of radiation, but say if they were to have stayed in said sediment cloud for an hour, they might actually gain a small amount of radiation sickness, now if the sediment was directly on top of, or near a radioactive material, for say a time of immediate to 32 years at most, if I'm correct, then perhaps the radiation will reach higher levels, that would also depend on the half-life of the material, now for the math, this group has entered Chernobyl radiation zone by the time of 2012, or atleast that was when the movie was released, and the materials that were most dangerous, and thus the only material at the bottom of this lake, compose of iodine, strontium, and caesium, having a half life of 8 days, 29 years, and 30 years respectively, leaving strontium and caesium, thus it is very likely you have figured out the reason they obtained great amounts of radiation poisoning, throw in that the soil still hold much radiation, and these people seem to fall face first a few times, they really screwed themselves, obviously. Thank you for commenting, I was surprised to learn that caesium, the most dangerous of the materials made during the explosion, persisted until 2016, the land is now safe to in habit, and the water is kinda drinkable, so we can now get more answers, but just learning the intricacies of radiation, tickles me pink.
You know I legitimately thought Papa Roanoke was gonna skip the angler fish part but why would I think he wouldn’t take every opportunity to take a jab at the angler fish?
This man's beef with that fish is incredible 😂😂 I would see it being his comic style archenemy, who's only one living creature possessing ability to destroy him or something 🤣
I would just like to mention how refreshing it is that you are one of the only youtubers that actually likes humanity despite all our flaws. The amount of self hate on social media got old a long time ago Also, you won't ever catch me traveling anywhere without a force multiplier and a force enhancer. The people in these movies have no survival instincts.
34:19 the amount of radiation to cause nerve damage or rapid desquamation is so high you will die inside 15 minutes after you fall unconious as your brain shorts out from the current caused by the ionization of the radiation. At least it will be a fast death.
Radiation Tends to cause more issues In species that live short life's and reproduce quickly Or species that have long life spans Most animals have medium-short lifespans (take a deer for example) or a dog for example.
Can you please do the Netflix series called Kingdom? I don't wanna give any spoilers, but the plague has a few very unique elements and the story is really good.
Ah man I remember watching this movie my senior year of high school when I was supposed to be working on a project for the cultural studies class. Never did finish that project…
Roanoke, you need to use the Homer poking dead (werewolf) Flanders eye with a stick clip when talking about poking things with a stick, it’s unironically the reason I poke stuff without using my body on questionably attacking things.
When the meltdown happened, news of it spread very slowly. Today if something like this happens, half the planet knows about it within an hour. Back when the meltdown occurred, it was a solid three days before it became widely available public knowledge across Ukraine. Even then, the authorities did what they could to stifle and minimize the event as much as possible. One of my mom’s aunts was actually part of the cleanup in Chernobyl, and she received lifetime compensation from the government for it. No cancer, as far as I can remember, but her health definitely affected in other ways.
That car is a freaking stick-shift "Bukhanka" - if they twisted those wires together, they could absolutely start it without battery by pushing it in neutral then slamming it in gear, though since most of the crew were young Americans, they probably wouldn't know how to drive stick anyway. Norwegians could though.
Roanoke my dude, have you considered doing the two episodes from the X-Files involving the hibernating, liver eating, in humanly flexible Eugene Toombs? I think it make a good video
I loved the movie. I caught it early morning on Showtime when I couldn’t sleep. The found footage take on Pripyat and its ghouls really pulled me in. The scene with the bear in close quarters was one of the scenes to me
If you want to learn more about how's Chernobyl doing now, Kyle Hill makes great videos about it. And 1 thing is for sure, the angler fish cannot survive the lake trip
I always love, as someone who’s worked with dogs for a long time, seeing animal actors in movies that you can tell just adore their jobs/are focusing so hard on their handler. Absolutely adorable!
I went to school with a girl from Chernobyl. Her parents were out of town visiting family because she had just been born when the reactor had it's meltdown
Lol. The hunger part of the video at 23:30. I once tried not eating for 3 days. Yep. You're right at 23:36. I tell you straight up. I never like eating canned Pinto beans. You know the average Pinto beans can. No pork or anything in it. You can say after 3 days and...about 11 hours. I gave in, warmed up the Pinto beans and straight up ate the whole can. Idk but somehow I ignored the taste of the beans.
I am never not entertained by the fact that nuclear power is literally just steam power with a different boiling source. Its super cool but breaking it down like that is fun.
At 14:11 he says that everybody tenses up because of the force multiplier which he describes as unusual but he is forgetting that that movie plays in europe where not everyone can just buy a gun like in 'murika so for a european, seeing a gun is indeed pretty alarming.
This movie has a alternate ending where Amanda does get taken to the hospital but since she was close to the reactor core of Chernobyl she has now become one of them
I barely remember watching this on one of those free movie sites before streaming took off. Glad you covered this one. I still think Isolation (2005) and Prophecy (1979) would be fun to cover.
I had the weirdest Mandela effect in existence. I always thought that the series about the Chernobyl disaster titled "Chernobyl" was actually called "Chernobyl diaries" and the video title had me questioning reality.
iirc Jeremy Wade fished for Wels Catfish in the cooling ponds of Chernobyl. The water is supposedly fine it's the silt at the bottom that is radioactive.
I don't know how anybody can say they will never eat people or bugs or rats. The most hunger the average American experiences is you missed breakfast or possibly breakfast and lunch. Not many know what it's like to go a few days without food. I believe we find out what we are capable of when we are put through the awful scenario.
I always think of the soccer team that crashed in the Andean Mountains for 72 days and had to resort to eating the dead bodies to survive. They went almost two weeks (if not longer) with very minimal food. When it comes to survival and actually starving, people will resort to their last means, even if it’s a dead body 😢
I enjoyed this movie. It was quite an experience in theaters. Honestly an incredible job with the tension from the point with the fish on. Especially with the “camera footage” bit. Like good lord.
A fun fact about the van they used in the movie. If he did fix the wires they didn't actually need a live battery for the car. The van used is a UAZ 452 and most of them still had an option to be crank started. But in their situation could be difficult.
4:53 im sorry but they dont. Every single women in 20 to 35 range ive spoken to in Poland, Germany, people from Ukraine and Czech Republic said a lot of bad things about US soldiers around this area (like surface level - urgh i dont like the guy kinda things) whenever this "idea" was brought up.
@@alexmartin3143 Probably because the south of Belarus had been inflicted with fallout just as much as the area surrounding the plant so it might have come up in reporting back then and now. It still would be a different language because even though belarussians tend to speak russian as if it was a second native language belarussian is its own thing just as ukrainean - in contrast to russian the latin "i" for instance occurs in both ukrainean and belarussian while russian kyrillic expresses the latin "i" with what we take as a "u". Tschernobyl as such is a small village at the river Pripyat which crosses the ukrainean/belarussian border not far to the north, so the nuclear plant (meant to provide Kiev and surrounding areas with energy - a role it served into the 2000's because although the area had been abandoned a part of the plant remained up and running) was named after the village and the plan city to support the plant received its name from the close-by river Pripyat, so when people speaking of 'visiting Tschernobyl' it's actually Pripyat, the infamous abandoned city frozen in '86.

@@jakemocci3953 Doesn't matter. The Baltics had been german when the russian principalities were mere vessels of the mongols - and it still would be insane to claim the area for Germany because it's just not how history works - if you want to argue this way Ukraine belongs to turkic pastoralists, the Crimean Tatars who are living there for longer than anybody else. The Rus including its principalities had been founded by scandinavians - the influence is so significant that northern germanic names are the most common names in Russia to this day, including Oleg/Olga (norse Helge/Helga), Vladimir (norse Waldemar) or Ewgenji (norse Eugen). Guess Russia and Ukraine have to be swedish then - it's already in the name "Rus" after all. In addition Russia is the only western imperialist power which still owns most of its early modern colonies to this day. While all the others like the UK, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and others have released the colonialized areas into sovereign independence Russia of all countries pulled off just the same as the yankees in North America and unleashed the same wave of destruction, death and desease against the natives of Siberia as the north american natives had to endure - and still constantly complains about whatever. Heck, just as little as germans are an actual thing as little are russians an actual ethnicity but a hodgepodge of various eastern and western slavic tribes with a little uralic sprinkled in here and a good measure of turko-mongol tatar stirred in there, with a two or three spoons scandinavian (according to russian lore the old slavic and turkic tribes didn't get done shit and had to invite foreigners to establish something as a state to rule over), probably a little greek, a little skythian and a little baltic heritage on top, just as the germans who for the most part are a slavic-germanic mixed heritage population _because they ruled over slavs and intermingled with them for some 1500 years,_ and in the south even central and east asian steppe horsemen avar heritage plays a role. No, nothing "belongs" to you, absolutly nothing, with exception of the principalities of Moscow and Novgorod - all the rest ist just stolen as europeans loved to do in the last 500 years or so. The thing is: I'm a russophile - I love Russia. My grandpa participated in the soviet polar expedition "Nordpol 19", my dad grew up in Moscow and became a diplomat who studied at the same academy as Lavrov just two or three grades behind because he's marginally younger, my step-mom is a russian from Tomsk with ukrainean ancestry and I myself got born a Warsaw Pact citizen. I visited Belarus for the first time in 1994 age 7, in the late 90's I'd spent whole summer vacations in Brest. In 2000 age 13 I visited Moscow for the first time and because my dad had been working for russian companies in Germany and took me on business trips, and then he switched to work for european companies in Russia. I consequently would visit him in St. Petersburg numerous times as well as in siberian cities such as Tyumen. There I took my first vargan/khomus as a souvenir back home and became an expert with international connections across all the world and particularly to Siberia. I'm friends with various prominent musicians from Sakha where some sakha people founded the jew's harp museum of the people of Siberia and the International Jew's Harp Society based in Yakutsk, a russian cultural organisation I served for as a board member and helped to organize festivals abroad where scene members from Russia participated in summer '22 alongside ukrainean artists where the instrument had been prevalent as well and known as "drymba" - and the russian delegation of known russian musicians danced in front of a DJ booth ordained with a ukrainean flag because the DJ was from Ukraine. They all had been actually thinking people who just as the rest of the world are very aware that the age of territorial empires is over and the age of economical imperialism had come as demonstrated by both China and the US all while Tsar Vladimir the Terrible, a weak joke of a man, a small gangster who wants to be a great figure of history because his ego is this fragile still wages WW2 style territorial war. The SU on the peak of its power didn't manage to subdue f☠️king Afghanistan in 10 years and only facilitated its own failure - but Bloody Vlady actually thought he could conquer all of Ukraine within a few days with a damn husk of what the Red Army had been because his yes-men had actually told him the ukraineans wanted him to invade or something. A small St. Petersburg gangster who served as the middle man between mayor and gangs controlling the harbour, a meaningless KGB officer who had been sent into the east german province because he wasn't good for anything else all of a sudden become head of the FSB, maneuvered himself into the position of a potential presidential candidate and pulled off a number of false flags blowing up civil housing units so he could pretend being the strong man and become president. Now he was in a position to loot the country - I have seen the babushkas selling a few apples and hand-knitted stuff on street corners because you can't possibly survive of $50 dollar monthly pension. I have seen the Afghanistan veterans who lost their legs in Afghanistan beg for kupeks in the metro rolling on a board with wheels, I've seen the russian cops bulging out their pockets to signal that they only stopped you to cash a bribe and I'm aware about the common trick to have a second wallet with a certain amount of money because they'll take all they think you have so you shouldn't let them see your main wallet so they won't realize how much you have exactly with you. I have seen the wooden shed with a whole in the ground 85 years old grandmas have to shit into in 2024 because Tsar Vladimir can't even provide plumbing to his citizens and what little is available blows up every single winter somewhere anyways. I have seen pregnant women climbing 8 floors by stair because the chance to get stuck with the ancient elevator is just too high. I have seen what it means to live in a Piter Kommunalka - workers in other places existed this way 100+ years ago.. Heck, the life expectancy of an average russian man is down to 57 years, almost twenty years less than in Europe because people are this incredibly happy in Russia that they are drinking themselves to death.. I'm a born Warsaw Pact citizen and I'm not a particular fan of NATO. I rejected what I assumed to be anti-russian fear-mongering due to my pro-russian bias - until Tsar Vladimir proved NATO right by doing exactly what NATO claimed he could do. And how did he do it? Just as the nazis he came up with some international conspiracy narrative and unilaterally abandoned various bi- and multilateral treaties, from the agreements between the presidents of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine to mutually recognize each other's territorial integrity and settle on a non-aggression pact in 1991 shortly before Ukraine held its referendum of independence to the Budapest Convention when Ukraine was stupid enough to trust Jelzin and hand over its nuclear stock trusting in a russian promise. Vladimir supported criminal gangs, he stole Crimea which had been gifted to Ukraine by Khrushchev over 70 years ago when the soviet constitution already granted a right to opt out of the union, so if the SU took its own laws seriously it would have to expect Ukraine including Crimea to leave at any time so they in fact gave up Crimea back then. Well, and then everything hinted towards an imminent invasion in early 2022 -a number of western heads of state pilgrimaged to Moscow in hope to deescalate things but got only told the idea of Russia planning an invasion was preposterous - so Vladi lied straight into the faces of these world leaders and by extension the world public who had been willing to sacrifice a part of their dignity by going to Moscow mere hours before the preposterous idea of an invasion turned reality. And then he totally botched it and couldn't even take Kiev although having almost encircled it. He got stuck in the east and the only large city, Kherson whom he only managed to occupy thanks to internal treason got lost quickly again with only the Dnipro preventing the russians from getting kicked out from the south completly. And then the wining and fingerpointing started after having thousands upon thousands of young men getting slaughtered for nothing. I'm standing with Ukraine because I love Russia where I have a ton of family and friends and want to see it prosper - and it's shocking to witness Russia of all countries falling for fascism. Apropos fascism: Whom did he sent to _"free Ukraine from fascism"_ exactly? The military company founded by a mercenay called Utkin who proudly sported tattoos depicting SS nazi uniform badges - just sounds like a denazification expert right? Well, fits the "Blood and Soil" and "superior culture" narratives Pootin is pushing, right? The nazis claimed to only want to protect the german minorities in Eastern Europe when they started their irredentist policies in 1936 as well.. And while Silensky whom Putin called all sorts of things including cowardly and weak refused to leave Kiev when shit hit the fan and visited the front regularly eversince Tsar Vladimir didn't dare to visit his fighting forces just even once, preferring to hide in his Ural and Altai private bunker cities because the paranoia thoroughly melted his brain. He's currently in the process of turning Russia into a chinese colony (they have years of practice with Africa and didn't need to give off a single shot) and you are his willing helper - congrats I guess? At this point I feel embarassed to like Russia, that's how dire it is.

The Chernobyl meltdown happened in 1986. I remember seeing it on TV and my seven year old brain started to prepare for battling my neighbors for food and gasoline. "JUST WALK AWAY LARRY, AND THERE WILL BE AN END TO THE HORROR. JUST WALK AWAY!"
I was looking for this. It was commissioned in 1977. Maybe that's where he got 1976 from?
Hahahah JUST WALK AWAY
I'm glad I wasn't the only one scratching my head on his math. Don't worry Roanoke, I'm not here for a math lessons.

Excellent max max reference, road warrior is my fav movie
Remember, it's not 'im not alone my friends will be along soon' because if your friends don't show up, they'll know you were lying. The best thing to do is let them know someone is expecting you, but knows where you are. 'My friends dropped me off, and expect me soon' 'my friends were doing some boring shit I don't care about and I'm meeting them in about an hour.' Keep it vague and unverifiable. Anyway, there's a movie about maybe some kind of worms that make you immortal. And it has lots of application of force enhancers. You should check it out.
Or, and this is to be taken as a joke, just go "Oh you're gonna end me? ..Thanks. Really. Saves me a lot of trouble, as I just couldnt decide on the method. Mind deleting my browser history while you're at it though? ..So what are we going with, force enhancer, rope, stabby? Some pills perhaps?"

Consider- Chaotic Neutral alignment for him
Sad fact: one of the developers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was Ukrainian and died fighting to protect his country from invaders.
Fun fact: lots and lots of Ruzzians dug a bunch of trenches around the Chernobyl area in 2022, died of radiation poisoning, and their bodies were shipped by rail car to Belarus for cremation.

As a nuclear engineer I have to make few corrections /bonus info to add to your video:
1. Over 90% of chernobyl's exclusion zone is perfectly livable and had some people living there for many decades without anything happening to them. It is still closed, because overall radiation in that area is higher than the maximum "allowed" limit, however, this limit is more than 1'000 higher than the minimum effect limit (the minimal possible dose for your body to absorb and start showing health effects due to the absorption). You would need to live near chernobyl for over 5'000 years before your body absorbs enough radiation to negatively affect your health;
2. Main danger of radiation, that is ionizing radiation, is not the emission of alfa, beta, gama or neutrons in the open location. The main danger is radioactive particles (especially heavy metals) entering your body through lungs or mouth, and then you body absorbing them. Because skin (muscle and fat also included) acts as shield for your organs against ionizing radiation, getting radioactive atoms delivered directly to your organs is over 1'000 more lethal. Moreover, as heavy elements decay, they produce all sorts of nasty compounds within a living body, which also contributes to damage radioactive atoms cause when they enter your body;
3. Brain is actually one of safest organs when it comes to radiation. Because it protected by hair, skin, bone and to some extent brain fluid, it is in one of the safest sports within human body, so any damage to your body due to long exposure to ionizing radiation wouldn't develop as "going feral".
Neat comment
As Roanoke would say: you're a huge nerd.
All joking aside that is actually incredibly interesting. Needless to say, I will not be traveling there anytime soon
You're failing to account for radiation causing both hair loss and thinning of skin and bone density
So the brain wouldnt be as safe in just a persistent elevated radiation exposure for such a long time
Also the brain isnt an organ it's a muscle
Yes, it is indeed a fictional sci-fi horror movie.
Not to mention the water would be relatively safe… pretty sure an Admiral from the USN drank coolant in front of Congress to prove a point.
The pure distain from Roanoke's voice once he realized that thing was basically an Anglerfish, my goodness that coaxed a cackle
What I don't understand is that there are channels that are bigger and just do movie summaries, no science, no film filters, nothing yet those don't get hit as much or often as this channel
It's probably because Roanoke does do the science part. TH-cam algorithm hates people with intelligence.... I guess
Majority of people dont like wondering and getting taught stuff. They just want something quick and easy.
Could also imagnie his name being Gaming doesnt help catching the movie market.
Different markets honestly. If you are a movie nerd, and want to get a summary on a movie.. then youd watch one without the parts of Roanoke we enjoy.

@@ryanlegg4261there are snails with iron shells that live their lives sucking on hydrothermal vents. Life finds a way in pretty strange and spectacular ways
Few points.
It was 1986, not 76. It happed couple years after i was born.
There have been people living in the exclusion zone since it happened with most deaths due to lack of access to modern amenities.
The plant itself was still runnjng and producing power up until 2000 with workers living in a converted railway station near the plant (those who have played stalker call of prypyat, it's the station that freedom and duty hang out in, yes in real life it was converted into a hotel)
There were workers at the site until 2015 decommissioning the plant.
Radiation levels in the zone are not as high as people fear, (on average about 12x background) and the site is considered a nature reserve
Yeah, isn't there a sizable population of the endangered Przewalksi's wild horse?
@@Raptorworld22 yep.mthey went from almost being extinct to thriving in the zone
@crwydryny That's quite nice. Thanks for the positive info.

Nothing says relaxing vacation like heading into an area where a nuclear explosion happened
Sounds peaceful + free radiation therapy
True , though it wasn't a nuclear explosion but a nuclear meltdown that caused a standard explosion which carried tons of radioactive matter with it.
You know things are bad when there are no birds OR animals.
there was the dogs but true is never good not to see or hear any other animals around as it often means something they are afraid of is nearby or they have been already eaten by something XD
I must have been the spiders. They gagged the animals to shut them up while preparing for dinner.
Birds are animals
Animals meh, birds though that's far more ominous

I did enjoy the HBO mini series about the Chernobyl incident. Sure it isnt the biggest meltdown, but it could of been much worse. Plus how the USSR kept telling everyone "It isnt that bad" like a brother telling his other brother, "I didn't you hard, dont cry."
not great. not terrible
@@kittycatwithinternetaccess2356Tell that to the victims
@@JohnDoe-hj9fh you didnt get the reference
The series on it's own is very good and scared me a lot, wich is extremely hard to accomplish
But it had such fear mongering about nuclear energy and raging anti communism/Soviet union that I just couldn't finish
It's like if physically impossible to someone making an movie or series to be at least neutral on the Soviet Union, no they have to be fucking bond villains
And the anti nuclear sentiment is just stupid and an big reason of why climate change will make this earth uninhabitable, we should've gone full nuclear energy as an species back in the 70s
But noooo Chernobyl happened and now everyone is scared, definitely not propaganda made by oil barons and coal barons
the series spreads alot of mis info, like most of it is worng. Kyle Hill has a much better YT series on Chernobly, even going to the plant itself and talking to the workers there.
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that an Ukrainian man couldnt fix a buchanka that was running fine in the past decade with his own hands.

In 1986, clouds carrying radiation moved over West Wales. The rain irradiated the sheep. Elevated radiation levels were still found in sheep 10 years later.

Water doesn't retain radioactivity, the water would be safe to touch, but the heavy metals might not make it safe to drink.
🎵It's your one-way ticket to midnight, call it Heavy Metal🎵
I think the sediment at the bottom retains radiation and the folks stirring up the water with their hands and bodies would cause that gunk to swirl about in the water exposing you to the rads.
Source: fallout 4-76
@@VertigoIncline-tv2rd you are correct, but so long as they aren't outright covering themselves in the sediment, and other formations, they should be okay, at most the sediment kicked up into the water would retain a banana's worth of radiation, but say if they were to have stayed in said sediment cloud for an hour, they might actually gain a small amount of radiation sickness, now if the sediment was directly on top of, or near a radioactive material, for say a time of immediate to 32 years at most, if I'm correct, then perhaps the radiation will reach higher levels, that would also depend on the half-life of the material, now for the math, this group has entered Chernobyl radiation zone by the time of 2012, or atleast that was when the movie was released, and the materials that were most dangerous, and thus the only material at the bottom of this lake, compose of iodine, strontium, and caesium, having a half life of 8 days, 29 years, and 30 years respectively, leaving strontium and caesium, thus it is very likely you have figured out the reason they obtained great amounts of radiation poisoning, throw in that the soil still hold much radiation, and these people seem to fall face first a few times, they really screwed themselves, obviously. Thank you for commenting, I was surprised to learn that caesium, the most dangerous of the materials made during the explosion, persisted until 2016, the land is now safe to in habit, and the water is kinda drinkable, so we can now get more answers, but just learning the intricacies of radiation, tickles me pink.
@@VertigoIncline-tv2rdabsolutely no one cares where you learned it, but you just had to make it cringey.
This movie was made two years before documented evidence that brown bears moved into the exclusion zone.

Also, you won't ever catch me traveling anywhere without a force multiplier and a force enhancer. The people in these movies have no survival instincts.
34:19 the amount of radiation to cause nerve damage or rapid desquamation is so high you will die inside 15 minutes after you fall unconious as your brain shorts out from the current caused by the ionization of the radiation. At least it will be a fast death.

Ah man I remember watching this movie my senior year of high school when I was supposed to be working on a project for the cultural studies class. Never did finish that project…
Roanoke, you need to use the Homer poking dead (werewolf) Flanders eye with a stick clip when talking about poking things with a stick, it’s unironically the reason I poke stuff without using my body on questionably attacking things.
Yes yes yes!!! Ive been waiting for this one!!!
When the meltdown happened, news of it spread very slowly. Today if something like this happens, half the planet knows about it within an hour. Back when the meltdown occurred, it was a solid three days before it became widely available public knowledge across Ukraine. Even then, the authorities did what they could to stifle and minimize the event as much as possible. One of my mom’s aunts was actually part of the cleanup in Chernobyl, and she received lifetime compensation from the government for it. No cancer, as far as I can remember, but her health definitely affected in other ways.

That car is a freaking stick-shift "Bukhanka" - if they twisted those wires together, they could absolutely start it without battery by pushing it in neutral then slamming it in gear, though since most of the crew were young Americans, they probably wouldn't know how to drive stick anyway. Norwegians could though.
Well if they did that bucko then what kinda stupid movie would that be
As a uh..dude from Mississippi. I grew up on stick gear cars 😅
Roanoke my dude, have you considered doing the two episodes from the X-Files involving the hibernating, liver eating, in humanly flexible Eugene Toombs? I think it make a good video
I loved the movie. I caught it early morning on Showtime when I couldn’t sleep. The found footage take on Pripyat and its ghouls really pulled me in. The scene with the bear in close quarters was one of the scenes to me
Saw it at theaters as a youngin. Really enjoyed it, felt alot like Blair Witch
If you want to learn more about how's Chernobyl doing now, Kyle Hill makes great videos about it. And 1 thing is for sure, the angler fish cannot survive the lake trip
I always love, as someone who’s worked with dogs for a long time, seeing animal actors in movies that you can tell just adore their jobs/are focusing so hard on their handler. Absolutely adorable!
I went to school with a girl from Chernobyl. Her parents were out of town visiting family because she had just been born when the reactor had it's meltdown
The Chernobyl Disaster was April 26th, 1986, not 1976.
This movie was aight but ive always wated to explore chernobly
Lol. The hunger part of the video at 23:30. I once tried not eating for 3 days. Yep. You're right at 23:36. I tell you straight up. I never like eating canned Pinto beans. You know the average Pinto beans can. No pork or anything in it. You can say after 3 days and...about 11 hours. I gave in, warmed up the Pinto beans and straight up ate the whole can. Idk but somehow I ignored the taste of the beans.
Holy shit I’m so stoked you’re covering this movie!!!
As a medical student rn, it’s so cool finally understanding all the different things and systems Roanoke talks about when he delves into anatomy

9:50 there are actually plenty of shallow-dwelling species of angler fish, its just that the most popular one lives in the deep ocean
I am never not entertained by the fact that nuclear power is literally just steam power with a different boiling source. Its super cool but breaking it down like that is fun.

Next up: nuclear powered steam locomotives!

At 14:11 he says that everybody tenses up because of the force multiplier which he describes as unusual but he is forgetting that that movie plays in europe where not everyone can just buy a gun like in 'murika so for a european, seeing a gun is indeed pretty alarming.
Most of them are American, not European, so his argument remains valid.
Fair point.
This movie has a alternate ending where Amanda does get taken to the hospital but since she was close to the reactor core of Chernobyl she has now become one of them
God damn Anglerfish. Just so everyone knows, when something bad happens to me? I immediately blame the Anglerfish.
I barely remember watching this on one of those free movie sites before streaming took off. Glad you covered this one.
I still think Isolation (2005) and Prophecy (1979) would be fun to cover.

Same for me 😅
Radiation, aka: Haha, funny particle go 'boink'
I had the weirdest Mandela effect in existence. I always thought that the series about the Chernobyl disaster titled "Chernobyl" was actually called "Chernobyl diaries" and the video title had me questioning reality.
iirc Jeremy Wade fished for Wels Catfish in the cooling ponds of Chernobyl. The water is supposedly fine it's the silt at the bottom that is radioactive.
I don't know how anybody can say they will never eat people or bugs or rats. The most hunger the average American experiences is you missed breakfast or possibly breakfast and lunch. Not many know what it's like to go a few days without food. I believe we find out what we are capable of when we are put through the awful scenario.
A 3 day fast isn't that dramatic
I always think of the soccer team that crashed in the Andean Mountains for 72 days and had to resort to eating the dead bodies to survive. They went almost two weeks (if not longer) with very minimal food. When it comes to survival and actually starving, people will resort to their last means, even if it’s a dead body 😢
Love the Wolfenstein music in the backgroundz. Also great video!
27:14 Working angler fish hate into a movie about Chernobyl cannibals is chef's kiss brilliant 👏
I enjoyed this movie. It was quite an experience in theaters. Honestly an incredible job with the tension from the point with the fish on.
Especially with the “camera footage” bit. Like good lord.
Gotta love sticks because they're one of humanties most reliable tools.

What about Soviet tank fairies?
the movie's cannibals reminds me of fallout's ghouls
That was a pretty dull ending. How can they just shoot random people and put a helpless woman with two hostile mutants. Wtf
YES!!! Was hoping you’d cover this movie!! Love your stuff man! Hope you’re doing ok and keep it up!!
Hey Mr. 67 Impala, it’s called a tire iron.
No, no. That's actually a lug nut window bashing stick. LNWBS.
Common mistake, no problem.
A fun fact about the van they used in the movie. If he did fix the wires they didn't actually need a live battery for the car. The van used is a UAZ 452 and most of them still had an option to be crank started. But in their situation could be difficult.

Tschernobyl happened _in Ukraine,_ not Russia (where _ukrainean_ is spoken, not russian), and occured in 1986.
Always thought it was in Belarus… I’m a dummy…
@@alexmartin3143 Probably because the south of Belarus had been inflicted with fallout just as much as the area surrounding the plant so it might have come up in reporting back then and now.
It still would be a different language because even though belarussians tend to speak russian as if it was a second native language belarussian is its own thing just as ukrainean - in contrast to russian the latin "i" for instance occurs in both ukrainean and belarussian while russian kyrillic expresses the latin "i" with what we take as a "u".
Tschernobyl as such is a small village at the river Pripyat which crosses the ukrainean/belarussian border not far to the north, so the nuclear plant (meant to provide Kiev and surrounding areas with energy - a role it served into the 2000's because although the area had been abandoned a part of the plant remained up and running) was named after the village and the plan city to support the plant received its name from the close-by river Pripyat, so when people speaking of 'visiting Tschernobyl' it's actually Pripyat, the infamous abandoned city frozen in '86.
The plant became an issue again recently during the Russian-Ukrainean War when advancing russian invaders occupied areas including the Tschernobyl containment zone.
Just a few years earlier the new sarcophagus as the containment shells surrounding the molten reactor as such are referred to got completed, a co-funded effort of Ukraine, Russia and the UN as well as OECD which got necessary after the hastily constructed first iteration started to crumble. They assembled a titanic construction a little bit off site and dragged it over to cover the blown up reactor block, an amazing feat of international cooperatation - but now Russia went all in and didn't consider the containment zone at all.
The plant got almost struck by missiles on several occasions, the ukrainean staff on site got taken hostage - and the total disregard for human life became apparent after the russians had abandoned this field of war when Ukraine struck back:
They found that the russians made their soldiers dig in in the areas surrounding the plant, areas such as the infamous _Red Forest_ where nothing lives or grows to this day. They sat there and dug trenches for weeks and all the soil movement stirred up the settled fallout - _all of those soldiers who had to spent time in the trenches of Tschernobyl will die rather sooner than later, and it won't take ukrainean freedom fighters to do the job.._
All in all you weren't too far off with Belarus when for many in the west the equasion looks like: _ex-SU = Russia._

Ukraine is part of Russia and spoke Russian for hundreds of years.
@@jakemocci3953 Doesn't matter. The Baltics had been german when the russian principalities were mere vessels of the mongols - and it still would be insane to claim the area for Germany because it's just not how history works - if you want to argue this way Ukraine belongs to turkic pastoralists, the Crimean Tatars who are living there for longer than anybody else.
The Rus including its principalities had been founded by scandinavians - the influence is so significant that northern germanic names are the most common names in Russia to this day, including Oleg/Olga (norse Helge/Helga), Vladimir (norse Waldemar) or Ewgenji (norse Eugen).
Guess Russia and Ukraine have to be swedish then - it's already in the name "Rus" after all.
In addition Russia is the only western imperialist power which still owns most of its early modern colonies to this day. While all the others like the UK, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and others have released the colonialized areas into sovereign independence Russia of all countries pulled off just the same as the yankees in North America and unleashed the same wave of destruction, death and desease against the natives of Siberia as the north american natives had to endure - and still constantly complains about whatever. Heck, just as little as germans are an actual thing as little are russians an actual ethnicity but a hodgepodge of various eastern and western slavic tribes with a little uralic sprinkled in here and a good measure of turko-mongol tatar stirred in there, with a two or three spoons scandinavian (according to russian lore the old slavic and turkic tribes didn't get done shit and had to invite foreigners to establish something as a state to rule over), probably a little greek, a little skythian and a little baltic heritage on top, just as the germans who for the most part are a slavic-germanic mixed heritage population _because they ruled over slavs and intermingled with them for some 1500 years,_ and in the south even central and east asian steppe horsemen avar heritage plays a role.
No, nothing "belongs" to you, absolutly nothing, with exception of the principalities of Moscow and Novgorod - all the rest ist just stolen as europeans loved to do in the last 500 years or so.
The thing is: I'm a russophile - I love Russia. My grandpa participated in the soviet polar expedition "Nordpol 19", my dad grew up in Moscow and became a diplomat who studied at the same academy as Lavrov just two or three grades behind because he's marginally younger, my step-mom is a russian from Tomsk with ukrainean ancestry and I myself got born a Warsaw Pact citizen.
I visited Belarus for the first time in 1994 age 7, in the late 90's I'd spent whole summer vacations in Brest.
In 2000 age 13 I visited Moscow for the first time and because my dad had been working for russian companies in Germany and took me on business trips, and then he switched to work for european companies in Russia.
I consequently would visit him in St. Petersburg numerous times as well as in siberian cities such as Tyumen.
There I took my first vargan/khomus as a souvenir back home and became an expert with international connections across all the world and particularly to Siberia.
I'm friends with various prominent musicians from Sakha where some sakha people founded the jew's harp museum of the people of Siberia and the International Jew's Harp Society based in Yakutsk, a russian cultural organisation I served for as a board member and helped to organize festivals abroad where scene members from Russia participated in summer '22 alongside ukrainean artists where the instrument had been prevalent as well and known as "drymba" - and the russian delegation of known russian musicians danced in front of a DJ booth ordained with a ukrainean flag because the DJ was from Ukraine.
They all had been actually thinking people who just as the rest of the world are very aware that the age of territorial empires is over and the age of economical imperialism had come as demonstrated by both China and the US all while Tsar Vladimir the Terrible, a weak joke of a man, a small gangster who wants to be a great figure of history because his ego is this fragile still wages WW2 style territorial war.
The SU on the peak of its power didn't manage to subdue f☠️king Afghanistan in 10 years and only facilitated its own failure - but Bloody Vlady actually thought he could conquer all of Ukraine within a few days with a damn husk of what the Red Army had been because his yes-men had actually told him the ukraineans wanted him to invade or something.
A small St. Petersburg gangster who served as the middle man between mayor and gangs controlling the harbour, a meaningless KGB officer who had been sent into the east german province because he wasn't good for anything else all of a sudden become head of the FSB, maneuvered himself into the position of a potential presidential candidate and pulled off a number of false flags blowing up civil housing units so he could pretend being the strong man and become president. Now he was in a position to loot the country - I have seen the babushkas selling a few apples and hand-knitted stuff on street corners because you can't possibly survive of $50 dollar monthly pension. I have seen the Afghanistan veterans who lost their legs in Afghanistan beg for kupeks in the metro rolling on a board with wheels, I've seen the russian cops bulging out their pockets to signal that they only stopped you to cash a bribe and I'm aware about the common trick to have a second wallet with a certain amount of money because they'll take all they think you have so you shouldn't let them see your main wallet so they won't realize how much you have exactly with you.
I have seen the wooden shed with a whole in the ground 85 years old grandmas have to shit into in 2024 because Tsar Vladimir can't even provide plumbing to his citizens and what little is available blows up every single winter somewhere anyways.
I have seen pregnant women climbing 8 floors by stair because the chance to get stuck with the ancient elevator is just too high. I have seen what it means to live in a Piter Kommunalka - workers in other places existed this way 100+ years ago..
Heck, the life expectancy of an average russian man is down to 57 years, almost twenty years less than in Europe because people are this incredibly happy in Russia that they are drinking themselves to death..
I'm a born Warsaw Pact citizen and I'm not a particular fan of NATO. I rejected what I assumed to be anti-russian fear-mongering due to my pro-russian bias - until Tsar Vladimir proved NATO right by doing exactly what NATO claimed he could do.
And how did he do it? Just as the nazis he came up with some international conspiracy narrative and unilaterally abandoned various bi- and multilateral treaties, from the agreements between the presidents of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine to mutually recognize each other's territorial integrity and settle on a non-aggression pact in 1991 shortly before Ukraine held its referendum of independence to the Budapest Convention when Ukraine was stupid enough to trust Jelzin and hand over its nuclear stock trusting in a russian promise.
Vladimir supported criminal gangs, he stole Crimea which had been gifted to Ukraine by Khrushchev over 70 years ago when the soviet constitution already granted a right to opt out of the union, so if the SU took its own laws seriously it would have to expect Ukraine including Crimea to leave at any time so they in fact gave up Crimea back then.
Well, and then everything hinted towards an imminent invasion in early 2022 -a number of western heads of state pilgrimaged to Moscow in hope to deescalate things but got only told the idea of Russia planning an invasion was preposterous - so Vladi lied straight into the faces of these world leaders and by extension the world public who had been willing to sacrifice a part of their dignity by going to Moscow mere hours before the preposterous idea of an invasion turned reality.
And then he totally botched it and couldn't even take Kiev although having almost encircled it. He got stuck in the east and the only large city, Kherson whom he only managed to occupy thanks to internal treason got lost quickly again with only the Dnipro preventing the russians from getting kicked out from the south completly.
And then the wining and fingerpointing started after having thousands upon thousands of young men getting slaughtered for nothing.
I'm standing with Ukraine because I love Russia where I have a ton of family and friends and want to see it prosper - and it's shocking to witness Russia of all countries falling for fascism.
Apropos fascism:
Whom did he sent to _"free Ukraine from fascism"_ exactly? The military company founded by a mercenay called Utkin who proudly sported tattoos depicting SS nazi uniform badges - just sounds like a denazification expert right? Well, fits the "Blood and Soil" and "superior culture" narratives Pootin is pushing, right?
The nazis claimed to only want to protect the german minorities in Eastern Europe when they started their irredentist policies in 1936 as well..
And while Silensky whom Putin called all sorts of things including cowardly and weak refused to leave Kiev when shit hit the fan and visited the front regularly eversince Tsar Vladimir didn't dare to visit his fighting forces just even once, preferring to hide in his Ural and Altai private bunker cities because the paranoia thoroughly melted his brain.
He's currently in the process of turning Russia into a chinese colony (they have years of practice with Africa and didn't need to give off a single shot) and you are his willing helper - congrats I guess?
At this point I feel embarassed to like Russia, that's how dire it is.
Yo he spitting ( this is actually one of my favorite horror movies as I saw it when it came out and I felt it genuinely had some good scares in it so I’m glad he covered it)
Chernobyl was in 1986
I wish Roanoke would take his skills & experience with all this, get a team of people who can help him create a sci-fi horror movie. Based on marine biology discovering a new form of psycho Angler fish & the situation on land goes to hell due to mass (insert rabies infections, prions, & many other possibilities you can choose from for creative liberties. It's all up to you & I think you could help make a really great & enjoyable story)
2:30 It happened in 1986 ;)
He also calls Ukrainians Russians. Roanoke knows his science, but not history or geography.
