Alpha Male Low Penetration Power

Text on the meme

MFers be like “I’m an alpha male” α β γ n alpha beta gamma neutron Paper/Skin Aluminum Lead Concrete Ok bro, tell me more about your low penetration power

What it means

The meme shows a radiation-penetration diagram comparing alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation through paper or skin, aluminum, lead, and concrete. It mocks men who call themselves “alpha males” by comparing them to alpha radiation, which has the lowest penetration power. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to boastful or macho self-descriptions.
