Zomg, where are all the warning labels???
boydster@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
The best way to tell precisely how spicy your rock is, is to taste it. That’s just basic science, if you ask me.
Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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?

And it goes straight to my hips. By which I mean the bone marrow in my pelvis.
pticrix@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
These hips don’t lie : you got cancer
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!
BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Why the pelvis specifically? How did it get there? What were you doing with it?

If you eat just one bite you’ll never have to eat again for the rest of your life!

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 10 months 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.
socsa@piefed.social 10 months ago
This is actually an issue with food calories as well. Wood shavings give a high reading in a bomb calorimeter but you can't process them into energy. Same with lots of fiber. And ethanol, in some cases.
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Equivalent-level of fun fact: 1 gram of hay contains that much calories too!
JillyB@beehaw.org 10 months ago
No wonder cows are so fat

Happy cake day!
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Technically, this is processed cake. Yellow cake that is.
cosecantphi@hexbear.net 10 months ago
nah, this is just the appetizer to a big bowl of pasta made out of antimatter.

Antipasti

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!
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
that looks like a sponge x3
robocall@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It looks like the underside of a microfiber towel

Yellowcake, sponge… lemon flavoured sponge cake?

Square pringles 😋
logicbomb@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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 10 months ago
Cooling down means it’s breaking down and no longer plutonium.
logicbomb@lemmy.world 10 months 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.
IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s why they have it in a frying pan

just take a cheese grater to it to make smaller pieces smh

You mean plutonium doesn’t look like a vial of cherry flavored cough syrup suspended in a larger vial of water?
rockyTron@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Kinda, in solution different oxidation states make pretty colors… 1000078594

Wtf, no, you should not lick boron, fucking ever. Go lick a piece of lead, it’s better for your health
Spacehooks@reddthat.com 10 months ago
Wish we had this in chemistry
purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 10 months ago
According to your table, it’s not as bad as that, just not a good idea.
ArtemisimetrA@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
In order to lick something at the very least it needs to be liquid, or better yet, solid.
Trying to kick hydrogen, with this in mind, will be the last lick you ever do in your life
expatriado@lemmy.world 10 months ago
if you can wait a few million years, after few decay steps it turns into lead, which is known to be sweet

This whole image is metal as fuck \m/
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
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.

Even oranges aren’t neon orange

What would happen if you played hockey with that?
Zerush@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
It is for sure delicious, but those who tested it didn’t say it

Deliciously ever-hot orange pie

What do the dots taste like?
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
It’ll kill ya in loads of inventive and horrible ways, but sure, you can give it a try!
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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!!
tetris11@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
I wanna taste that blue Cherenkov tang
SippyCup@feddit.nl 10 months ago
Evidently plutonium just tastes metallic. And radium is flavorless.
What I’m saying is people have tasted these things.
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 months ago
The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!
a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
I wanted to say the same - that blue color reminds me of blueberry with some mint for freshness!
