It is orange flavored. It's "orange you glad you didn't put that in your mouth"

I'll take a bite if you wanna
Tell TRUMP and the administration to lick it and it will taste like a dreamsickles!!!! :)
Tell him it tastes like Bill Clinton, if you know what I mean.
They'll get dreamsickle cell anemia!!
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
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.
Well, shit. You've got me there ngl.
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

Ahhh water. Blocks alpha particles. Disables magnets. Is there anything this wondrous liquid can't do?
Be in one fraction at once. H2O consist of differerent quantum-mechanical portions: para-water and ortho-water.
And it only gets weirder.
paljastus
No. Don't google para-hydrogen.
You will break your brain.
be easily compressed
Depends on the amount of compression you’re trying to achieve, the water’s temperature, and your definition of “easy”. Near freezing, ice is compressible. Because the increased pressure causes the freezing point to rise, which causes it to melt. And liquid water takes up less space than ice.

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.

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.

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.
why dont we eat plutonium then? 🤔
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.
As you should.
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.
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!
