Forbidden gum drop
Please reconsider
Wish we had this in chemistry
Wtf, no, you should not lick boron, fucking ever. Go lick a piece of lead, it’s better for your health
Yeah. That looks like something Codyslab will do…
According to your table, it’s not as bad as that, just not a good idea. E: Wait, missread that as thorium.
The fact that Thorium and Uranium are just “probably not a good idea” makes me think that the scale is based on licking like an ore that contains them rather than the pure element
The highest calorie last meal
Happy cake day!
Technically, this is processed cake. Yellow cake that is.
they got cake day on lemmy too?
Yep, my client(voyager) showed a cake next to their username.
nah, this is just the appetizer to a big bowl of pasta made out of antimatter.
Antipasti
Deliciously ever-hot orange pie
It is for sure delicious, but those who tested, never said it
This whole image is metal as fuck \m/
What would happen if you played hockey with that?
The ice melts.
And you get cancer
That’s plutonium. You would die of radiation poisoning long before you could ever even come close to developing cancer.
A lot of people get cancer already and ice also already melts all the time so I don’t see why this is so special
Yes, it does look delicious.
But I can’t help but think about this being the consequences of dying everything we eat unholy colors. Maybe radioactive material wouldn’t be so tasty looking if we didn’t give kids candy that looks like radioactive material.
Counterpoint: fruit
Even oranges aren’t neon orange
I mean, you can heat any old rock & make it look like that … what I’m saying is that every rock, when heated to 500+°C, will gain delicious orange flavour, but scientists don’t want you to know that!!
I wanna taste that blue Cherenkov tang
…blue raspberry gatorade…
I wanted to say the same - that blue color reminds me of blueberry with some mint for freshness!
Evidently plutonium just tastes metallic. And radium is flavorless.
What I’m saying is people have tasted these things.
What about butt-chugging them?
Demon core has entered the chat?
Demon buttplug
I think it was when we got to toxic metals and radioactive elements that chemists where forced to stop tasting their discoveries.
I hope it went: Safety person: Hey! Stop tasting any elements or new molecules. It’s been getting people severely sick or killed!
Chemist: “Ugh, fine, but ima bitch about it the whole time”
It’s coincidentally when we started getting radiation poisoning. Correlation? Causation? The younger generation is so weak smh.
I can still huff them though, right? How else will I know when my reaction is done?
I believe the guy who tasted plutonium did so accidentally when the powder got in his mouth. The metallic taste probably has something to do with how radioactive it is.
Or the fact that it’s, y’know, a metal
idk man. the tins I’m drinking out of don’t really ‘taste metallic’, whereas when I got shot up with radioactive elements, I definitely described it as “having a metallic taste in my mouth”.
(Oh and the answer is ‘radiology’ — shooting people up with radioactive elements is literally everyday stuff. There’s a whole branch of medicine about it; “nuclear medicine.”)
the tins I’m drinking out of don’t really ‘taste metallic’,
Tins generally have a plastic liner, and are also built to avoid leaching into the food. If the tin is making your food taste metallic, something has gone horribly wrong.
whereas when I got shot up with radioactive elements, I definitely described it as “having a metallic taste in my mouth”.
Your taste buds are in the mouth, though. Presumably you’re not taking the radioactive laser to the face.
The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!
You only get one chance to find out!
What do the dots taste like?
We need a cosmological law dictating harmful to humans = boring-looking. I mean, it isn’t just plutonium, look at uranium yellowcake! It’s lemon flavouring!
Some Pu solutions for your viewing pleasure:
New Pride Flag for the irradiated wastelands just stopped!
I like how all these pictures include the radiation fucking up the photo.
that looks like a sponge x3
SpongeBomb SpallatePants
Yellowcake, sponge… lemon flavoured sponge cake?
It looks like the underside of a microfiber towel
And here I thought plutonium looked like this:
Kinda, in solution different oxidation states make pretty colors…
You mean plutonium doesn’t look like a vial of cherry flavored cough syrup suspended in a larger vial of water?
if you can wait a few million years, after few decay steps it turns into lead, which is known to be sweet
Isn’t it just that color because it’s hot? Like, if you cooled those off to room temperature, wouldn’t they be metallic gray?
Cooling down means it’s breaking down and no longer plutonium.
just take a cheese grater to it to make smaller pieces smh
That’s why they have it in a frying pan
I’m talking about thermally cooling it down. If you put it in a freezer it will cool down, but the nuclear process will not change speed.
Good luck with cooling down unmoderated plutonium.
liquid nitrogen will do
