People always talking about how extremely hot metal looks tasty.
I’m an amateur blacksmith. Glowing metal looks like pain.

But it could be tasty pain.
SolSerkonos@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Well, shit. You’ve got me there ngl.

People have tasted it, they all seem to claim accidentally, the key report is that it tastes ‘metallic’.
dellish@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Fun fact: hang around a strong enough radioactive source and you get the metallic taste WITHOUT even having to touch it. You just get the taste for free!

Don’t tell CrossFit people about radiogenic hemorrhage or they’ll start fetishizing it.

And jet fuel melts steel beams.
Y’all, it’s fucking delicious. Like Simply Orange hate-fucked Tang and the baby was adopted by a loving lesbian couple, Starburst and Skittles. Smith.

Tell TRUMP and the administration to lick it and it will taste like a dreamsickles!!! :)

Tell him it tastes like Bill Clinton, if you know what I mean.

You might have better luck if you tell them they taste like dicksickles

Fun fact: there’s enough calories in a single gram of plutonium to sustain a person for 10,000,000 years.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 2 weeks ago
as does the same amount of any other substance.
That number you shared is just the E in E=mc²

you’re saying it’s perfect for my diet ?
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
It would certainly feed you for the rest of your life.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Unfortunately, if one were to invest a single gram of plutonium, not only are you ill equipped to actually properly harness even a small percentage of the heat energy it will produce, it also qualifies as a heavy metal, so there is every probability that whatever you do actually ingest before the chunk of plutonium exits your rear end, will end up in your bones thereby irradiating you further than the original gram of plutonium irradiated you as it passed through your digestive tract, mostly unobstructed, provided one doesn’t have a previous bowel obstruction.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Oh; it will kill the fuck out of you. It’s mainly emits alpha particles, but also beta and gamma.
Also, thanks to your typo, I’m thinking of investing in radiation.
froggirl14@lemmygrad.ml 2 weeks ago
why dont we eat plutonium then? 🤔
kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Lol it looks like that because it’s glowing from heat (probably heat it is producing through radioactivity) it looks like pretty much any metal, just like uranium. Uranium compounds are super pretty though, plutonium probably too if anyone was nuts enough to make dyes with it.
BussyCat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Pu 239 which is the kind that we use the most since it’s the most fissile has a half-life of around 25k years and alpha decays so its very unlikely that it is heat from radioactivity. It may be heat from forging.
Eheran@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It is Plutonium-238.
bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It is orange flavored. It’s “orange you glad you didn’t put that in your mouth”

I want to know what lifting it is like. Say just a beer can of volume. Depleted uranium is freaky dense!
Math may be off:
7kg
15.4lbs.
Freaky!

if it looks that hot, fission is pretty active and a lot of particles coming your way

Ahhh water. Blocks alpha particles. Disables magnets. Is there anything this wondrous liquid can’t do?

It can dissolve a lot of things too
JATtho@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Be in one fraction at once. H2O consist of differerent quantum-mechanical portions: para-water and ortho-water.
And it only gets weirder.

No. Don’t google para-hydrogen. You will break your brain.

If you reverse a magnet it makes water more west
fullsquare@awful.systems 2 weeks ago
this is how 238Pu ceramic pellets for space probe generators look like, no fission required just alpha decay. If it was fission, it wouldn’t need to glow like this entire time because you can just turn it off
gnutrino@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Well, either you can turn it off or you’re about a microsecond away from being vaporized.
CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Doesn’t this contaminate the water?
expatriado@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
my comment is oversimplified and partly joke, but nuclear power plants use mostly uranium fuel pellets, which are inserted in metal fuel rods and these into another metal container called fuel assemblies, before the are inserted into the water pool, so fual and water dont touch each other, and the vapor cycle is a closed system
girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
From what I remember, the water that is near the fissile material is in its own closed loop tank and has heat exchangers that transfer heat to another water loop that goes to the turbines.
