    People always talking about how extremely hot metal looks tasty.

    I’m an amateur blacksmith. Glowing metal looks like pain.

    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.

    Fun fact: there’s enough calories in a single gram of plutonium to sustain a person for 10,000,000 years.

      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.

      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.

    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!
