At first I though it was a pic of two urinal cakes on a cast iron skillet.
I thought plutonium is just a metallic silver?
I think it’s red hot
orange
Tell TRUMP and the administration to lick it and it will taste like a dreamsickles!!! :)
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.
Dammit this is giving me weird memories of that week I was radioactive
UP AND AT THEM
UP AN ATOM!
Fun fact: there’s enough calories in a single gram of plutonium to sustain a person for 10,000,000 years.
It would certainly feed you for the rest of your life.
as does the same amount of any other substance, including for example yoghurt.
That number is just the E in E=mc²
If we are actually talking dietary calories, the number you see on foodstuff packaging, plutonium has 0.
you’re saying it’s perfect for my diet ?
The problem with only counting calories for health has never been more aptly highlighted!
You would gain weight, but only temporarily
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.
All of that is to say that it probably tastes spicy metallic. Especially if you have fillings in your mouth. It’s energetic enough to give a similar sensation in your teeth that a piece of aluminum foil does when it touches your fillings.
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.
Leaving it.
if it looks that hot, fission is pretty active and a lot of particles are coming your way. better put it under water and attach a turbine to the vessel, and a generator to the shaft
My shaft is where all my generation comes from. /s
more like the future generation
I typically get My Generation from The Who
Ahhh water. Blocks alpha particles. Disables magnets. Is there anything this wondrous liquid can’t do?
be easily compressed
Amazing work.
It can dissolve a lot of things too
It can also decide what can and cannot breathe in it
If you reverse a magnet it makes water more west
I do hate it when my magnets develop a West pole.
Are you sure it’s not more south?
West by counterclockwise up actually

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
Well, either you can turn it off or you’re about a microsecond away from being vaporized.
Doesn’t this contaminate the water?
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.
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 lowered into the water pool, so fuel and water don’t touch each other, and the vapor cycle is a closed system
It also only would contaminate the things in water and not the water itself if i understand correctly
Well it can activate water itself and make F-18, H-3, and N-17 from just H20
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.
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.
It is Plutonium-238.
People have tasted it, they all seem to claim accidentally, the key report is that it tastes ‘metallic’.
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!
Scientists don’t want you knowing this one trick!
Don’t tell CrossFit people about radiogenic hemorrhage or they’ll start fetishizing it.
Eat your heart out, Jimmy John’s.
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.
🤯
Forget tasted it, some people just flat out ate it, such as Galen Winsor
That was just uranium
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!
This could be a cool song title: ‘And the post said plutonium pucks, could taste like orange crush’.
Oh look, ti proseccos
Edit: leaving because funny, but what I intended to comment as I fell asleep was “oh look, tiny elephant feet!” in reference to the nickname given the big melty version
I still remember the time I dropped my phone on my sleeping face and got “m understop” instead if “I’m sleepy.”
The fillet on the top makes it look delectable.
Why would we never know? What’s a little sacrifice for science?
