Uranium is fine, but oxygen is going too far, got it

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Natural (unenriched) uranium isn't especially radioactive and while there is plenty of exciting chemistry that could happen, none of it would be quite as immediately exciting as what would happen if you tried to freeze oxygen solid enough to make a dildo

Uranium will give you heavy metal poisoning worse than lead, however

I'll add it to the potential update list. Lead used to be green and then somebody convinced me to make it yellow and yeah..

I'm learning more about the elements here in a meme comment thread than I think I did in school over a decade ago.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 months ago

I actually spread misinformation there, chemical toxicity alone lead is worse, unless the uranium is somewhat enriched, you're better off with an uranium butt plug after all

Heavy metal poisoning will kill you slowly, as opposed to the rather more immediate sensation of catching fire while getting severe frostbite

enriched uranium is also not particularly radioactive, only as a spent fuel is becomes spicy

Gamma emitters are the one thing you really don't want in your dildo.
