What do Imagine Dragons, the deliciously forbidden snack uranium, and the elegant art of Hentai all have in common? Aside from being the obsessions of chronically-online middle-aged men, they’re all pretty damn radioactive — if a new viral tweet is to be believed.
Earlier this week, two juxtaposed maps made the rounds on Twitter appearing to correlate radiation stemming from the 1986 nuclear accident in Chernobyl to central Sweden’s apparent collective proclivity for watching cartoon women doing the dirty.
“Sweden's porn preferences vs radiation received from Chernobyl,” popular Twitter page @terriblemaps captioned the side-by-side images, the former stemming from PornHub’s Insights page as the latter, though unverified, resembling a chart featured in a 2017 study detailing disaster-related radioactive fallout in the Nordic nation.

The images quickly took off online, garnering comments and concern from apparent porn aficionados.
“I wanna go to Hentai Island, Sweden,” quipped one user of the viral post, which has garnered more than 318,000 likes since hitting the web on Sunday, November 27.
“By this logic, Belarus should be the hentai capital of the world,” joked another, referencing the hard-hit Eastern European country whose most viewed category in 2017 was actually Hentai, per PornHub data.
But beyond these radioactive implications, others noticed another strange quality of Sweden’s porn habits map – the fact that its largely red and yellow color scheme resembles Chinese President Xi Jinping's beloved cartoon character Winnie The Pooh.
“Am I the only one who saw Winnie the Pooh on the first picture?” mused one poster.
“Okay, I have serious mental issues,” wrote another, photoshopping the animated bear onto the highly-cursed map.
