This folk song about hypothetical "Ray Cats" is designed to prevent future humans from settling near modern disposal sites of nuclear waste. (youtu.be)

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
