I mean, you can heat any old rock & make it look like that ... what I'm saying is that every rock, when heated to 500+°C, will gain delicious orange flavour, but scientists don't want you to know that!!
I wanna taste that blue Cherenkov tang
...blue raspberry gatorade...
I wanted to say the same - that blue color reminds me of blueberry with some mint for freshness!
The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!
I was about to say that in the 40s and 50s someone
probablytaste it.The best way to tell precisely how spicy your rock is, is to taste it. That's just basic science, if you ask me.
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?
Zomg, where are all the warning labels???
Please reconsider
Yeah. That looks like something Codyslab will do...
Wtf, no, you should not lick boron, fucking ever. Go lick a piece of lead, it's better for your health
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.
These hips don't lie : you got cancer
Why the pelvis specifically? How did it get there? What were you doing with it?
Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!
(OK, but like, if I produced synthetic plutonium I would make the box look like a chocolate box. Those workers & engineers deserve to have a fun work environment, engage in some shenanigans, make an oopsie from time to time.)
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
If we instead want to measure the actual total physical energy content of materia, we would turn to E=mc^2, telling us that a gram of anything has about 20 million kcal, no matter if its plutonium or diet coke. which is a slightly less useful value on food labels :D
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 we have 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 technically 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.
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.
If you eat just one bite you'll never have to eat again for the rest of your life!
Equivalent-level of fun fact: 1 gram of hay contains that much calories too!
No wonder cows are so fat
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!
that looks like a sponge x3
It looks like the underside of a microfiber towel
SpongeBomb SpallatePants
Yellowcake, sponge... lemon flavoured sponge cake?
Some Pu solutions for your viewing pleasure:
New Pride Flag for the irradiated wastelands just stopped!
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?
And here I thought plutonium looked like this:
Kinda, in solution different oxidation states make pretty colors...
This whole image is metal as fuck \m/
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.
Counterpoint: fruit
Even oranges aren't neon orange
What would happen if you played hockey with that?
It is for sure delicious, but those who tested, never said it
Deliciously ever-hot orange pie
You only get one chance to find out!
What do the dots taste like?
