What do you mean you don’t have a nuclear reactor in your stomach?

I never got this analysis, doesn’t any material have absurd energy if you break down its very molecules and atoms?

Apparently 21.5 billion calories per gram of matter
Not sure what this meme is getting at, then, since it seems to be significantly undercounting it
qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 1 year ago
Meme is referring to nuclear reactors, not complete antimatter annihilation.
Nuclear reactors don’t “burn” everything — most of the matter stays (this is what nuclear waste is). So you can only apply E=mc^2 to the difference in mass, not the mass of the fuel.

I also think it’s an interesting choice to use uranium. Wouldn’t osmium be a better choice due to its increased density?

Funny enough they aren’t wrong just got there like Columbus did

If you did, you certainly only have seconds now…

havent you heard? plutonium is not a real element, it’s just a minor elem.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Well, its an Actinium (94), but it works better than Uranium. Alternatively you can also use Polonium to eliminate the need to eat for the rest of your life, it was even tested

Drinking a gallon of bleach will be enough liquid for the rest of your life. It will be an absolutely painful way to spend it though.

None of that wimpy and watered-down regular bleach, though. Go for the liquid chlorine used in pools, it’s typically about twice as strong. You can get it at Walmart (or Lowes} when it is in-season.

How long would a gallon of gas last me?

This just gives me spec-evo ideas for a person who does the shin-godzilla schtick where they ingest radioactive material and then use their inner fluids, either blood or some secondary circulatory system, as a coolant for the internal bio-reactor digestive system.
Either developing sail-hawks and sail-backs to expose as much surface area as possible, or Kit-Fisto style tail-locks with the same purpose.
Maybe a mix of both with the sail fans migrating to be like bat wings for that extra surface area cooling combined with high altitude chill.
Surprisingly I’d actually imagine this creature getting smaller, more use out of every bit of material they can find, and smaller creatures radiate heat more quickly than larger ones, so even more bio-coolant features to keep the reactor from making biological corium.

I think a gram of uranium will be able to pass through your digestive system without killing you. I wouldn’t call it safe but that ammount of radiation isn’t lethal. I don’t know if it’d be poison, though.
xkforce@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If its an oxide or something else insoluble the toxicity would be relatively low. Soluble salts you may as well finalize your will.

This should be a stellaris litoid trait. Your pops need no minerals for food, but are highly radioactive.

Technically eating chlorophyll would give you infinite energy.

Maybe that’s what my grandmother meant about the sun shining out my ass.
Neato@ttrpg.network 1 year ago
FYI: unprocessed uranium isn’t radioactive enough to do a lot of harm. At least as eaten. BUT uranium is incredibly toxic as a heavy metal so it’d still kill you quickly.

Still technically correct for “rest of your life” lol
rollerbang@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I guess it would still be enough for a lifetime 🤷♂️
