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

Evidently plutonium just tastes metallic. And radium is flavorless.

What I'm saying is people have tasted these things.

I think it was when we got to toxic metals and radioactive elements that chemists where forced to stop tasting their discoveries.

I hope it went: Safety person: Hey! Stop tasting any elements or new molecules. It's been getting people severely sick or killed!

Chemist: "Ugh, fine, but ima bitch about it the whole time"

I believe the guy who tasted plutonium did so accidentally when the powder got in his mouth. The metallic taste probably has something to do with how radioactive it is.

Or the fact that it’s, y’know, a metal

I can still huff them though, right? How else will I know when my reaction is done?

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

It's coincidentally when we started getting radiation poisoning. Correlation? Causation? The younger generation is so weak smh.

What about butt-chugging them?

The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!

I wanted to say the same - that blue color reminds me of blueberry with some mint for freshness!
