I mean, you can heat any old rock & make it look like that … what I’m saying is that every rock, when heated to like 500+°C, will gain orange flavour!!

I wanna taste that blue Cherenkov tang

Evidently plutonium just tastes metallic. And radium is flavorless.
What I’m saying is people have tasted these things.

I wanted to say the same - that blue color reminds me of blueberry with some mint for freshness!
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 day ago
The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!

Given that lead acetate is sweet, would plutonium acetate do the same?
anyone wants to help me set up a charity where we give “last meals” to terminal patients using toxic ingredients just for them to describe how they taste?

The best way to tell precisely how spicy your rock is, is to taste it. That’s just basic science, if you ask me.

Fun fact: a gram of plutonium contains about 20 billion calories. Yum.

And it goes straight to my hips. By which I mean the bone marrow in my pelvis.

Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!

Why the pelvis specifically? How did it get there? What were you doing with it?

Not dietal calories.
The calorie numbers we assign to food, measure how much energy our body extracts from them when eaten.
In this context, plutonium is closer to 0
atomicorange@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Technically it measures how much you can heat up a known volume of water if you burn the food. We have no way of measuring how much of that energy released by combustion actually gets absorbed and translated to ATP in the body, but it’s the best estimation of the relative energy content of foods.
There’s some carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that our bodies don’t seem to convert to energy (or only partially convert) but still contain calories because they’re combustible. Sugar alcohols, fiber, etc.
Plutonium doesn’t combust, but it would heat up water in a calorimeter. Really the test method’s applicability kind of falls apart when you start testing undigestible materials.

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!

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?
shalafi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Cooling down means it’s breaking down and no longer plutonium.
logicbomb@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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 speed up.

if you can wait a few million years, after few decay steps it turns into lead, which is known to be sweet

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.

According to your table, it’s not as bad as that, just not a good idea.
