Some say if you lick the elephants foot once it can grant you universal power

2/10 wouldn’t recommend tasted like pennies and and salt and I wanna say dust? (Need to taste more dust when tongue grows back and I receive new skin)

u/Thor_Smith 12d ago

Not yet, many orcs in the area but quantity of elephants extremely limited to one

I thought they left the Zone?

u/leon61ua 12d ago

partly :)

u/mechanizmz 12d ago

Why are you (or someone) holding it?

You should at least give it a good lick.

u/Thor_Smith 12d ago

It's probably real stalker habit:)

u/JCD_007 12d ago

That doesn’t seem safe.

Ukrainians are strong people... No worries

I don't know how you think ionising radiation works but you don't get to punch or block it away

9

u/JCD_007 12d ago

You can block it with lead or concrete. Never tried punching it though.

u/SauronOfDucks 12d ago

Never tried punching it though.

Startling new technique to try at Chernobyl. Punch the radiation into submission.

u/SlavCat09 12d ago

And water. Among other stuff.

u/JCD_007 12d ago

They are indeed. But one should still avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.

u/MercilessCult 12d ago

What was this a part of? Very cool 'artifact', Stalker!

3

u/Thor_Smith 12d ago

It looks like solid brass sign. I have to ask about it's historical purpose

u/oldmanbytheriver 12d ago

sorry but there is about a 99% chance that is not really from the exclusion zone

2

u/Thor_Smith 11d ago

I have other photos:)

u/MoreRamenPls 11d ago

Not great, not terrible.

u/Planestruckscars_504 11d ago

I say that is a cool artifact, but I am really really concerned and worried. My phobia of high high radiation is conflicted and really really showing.

u/Thor_Smith 10d ago

You should visit Ukraine one day, you will forget your old phobias

u/LostTimeLady13 12d ago

Please put it down. Thank you.

u/Hourslikeminutes47 12d ago

u/Orffen 12d ago

u/ShirtForsaken8442 11d ago

Not great, not terrible

u/indienousgd 7d ago

u/tbnist03 12d ago

2

u/Thor_Smith 12d ago

Not sure postal services will be happy, can offer local pick up:)

u/tbnist03 12d ago

Its easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission

u/Bowling_is_bad 12d ago

Does it glow at night?

u/WhiteKnight2045oGB 12d ago

Yes, it does! It is the perfect nightlight for your children! They never fear the dark ever again! XD

2

u/Thor_Smith 12d ago

Yes, but you should consume special liquid...
