Wasn't on my bingo list for 2025, but interesting nonetheless considering that we're actively irradiating screwworm larvae to sterilize them and nature over here is allowing wasp nests to develop near former nuclear weapon production sites.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren’t wasp nests primarily made from wood pulp and wasp spit. I am thinking that the wood pulp is radioactive not the wasps.

So no one go down there to South Carolina in an attempt to become “Wasp-Man”.

The energy department report notes that the wasps that lived within the nest would have significantly lower radiation levels than the nest itself.

Still got irradiated wasps, though. Clearly something in that area isn't quite sealed up right

get stung in SC and come back to PA being able to see hookers in 4d, and shooting glow-in-the-dark dick blasts.
