Okay if you think licking lead and uranium is maybe not a good idea then I think you need to reevaluate your decision making skills.
I wouldn’t lick lead as a hobby, but a quick one wouldn’t be the end of things.
So you're saying that it's a GREAT idea?
You know what, sure, why the hell not. I'll see you on the Darwin Awards lol
Lead lolly, yellow lolly
This is a joke by Tom Scott in one of the best Citation Needed episodes.
I appreciate what you are trying to share, so this is just me venting.
I hate you tube!
Having to sign in is annoying. Having the absolute LIE that it has anything to do with protecting the community is infuriating.
Technically, Piped is not just a frontend... How about setting up a redirect? I used to provide links to piped.video like the annoying bot but then I realized it's decentralized and everyone using Piped probably has a redirect (or link-handling app) set up to their preferred instance.
BTW, there's an Internet Archive mirror of the video available as a plain file or in their online player The reference is at 9:57 but the whole thing is worth it.
Thanks so much. A solution was far more then expected, thats really nice of you.
Thank you, I came here to see if it was at least somewhat safe to lick uranium, I don’t have access to it but if I ever did I wouldve tried because that sounds like a badass story to tell at a bar/party
Definitely don't do it.
Yeah that was my standing rule until this chart threw it into question. But thanks for rehardening it
The long-lived isotopes of uranium are about as dangerous as lead, actually: heavy metal poisoning is the overwhelming concern. Same as bismuth, which is effectively stable and incorrectly marked "Probably fine".
