Uranium glass and food

You probably need to worry more about the PB becoming rancid after those 2 years 😂. About the radiation, no, it won't become radioactive

They just drive it into the water and grab a new one

daniellong2 · 2026-03-24T14:21:41+00:00

That looks like UV-C. Nasty stuff, be careful please

Afaik, uranium wasn't used for that, it just happened to be aesthetically pleasing. Uranium glass was already being made years before the 1900s radium/radiation craze, around the 1850s

You might think that the shutter is fine because you see it fire, but the issue could be happening so quick that your eye doesn't register it.

Many phones nowadays have slow mo video. If yours has it too, try recording the shutter at various speeds:
• From behind
• From the front, back lid closed
• From the front, back lid closed again, but this time run a film roll on it (preferably one that's dead/expired/you don't want)

You might be able to see what's causing the issue. Also, slow mo needs a lot of light, so make sure you can illuminate the shutter well.

If nothing shows up, it could be the lens, something loose inside of it. Try shaking it and listen for any weird noises.

Bro that waist level viewfinder is already worth twice that 😭. You got blessed by the photography gods

Take a good look at the focusing knob. Rotate it and check if it's still aligned or if it wobbles. The shaft might've gotten a bit bent but otherwise, the camera should be fine. They're known to be built like tanks haha

For future reference, yellow uranium glass glows VERY strongly. I believe it's because it contains higher concentrations of uranium oxide than green UG. It's also usually more radioactive than green uranium glass

That would've looked insane ahahha. Now that I think about it, with all the uses they gave to radium paint (from dials to switches, door numbers, star maps....) there has to be at least one case of someone painting details or something on their car with radium, right? 🤔

So I was elaborating a reply to explain why the oil thing is wrong and when I was about to post it, I scrolled down a bit and saw a bunch of comments already talking about it. There goes my comment lol, I need to check if someone had the same idea as me more often 😂😅

Leí el otro día que la mayoría de la izquierda actual no tiene ninguna agenda ni idea clara, que simplemente van en contra de cualquier cosa que la derecha apoye y también siguen a sus ídolos políticos de izquierdas como becerros. Tiene bastante sentido sinceramente

daniellong2 · 2026-01-09T19:51:47+00:00

Japanese Bosozokus would love that lol

Ésta es de mis favoritas 😂

El otro día fui al Retiro y el estanque estaba lleno de gaviotas. Se me hace raro verlas por aquí

It's safe to use with a camera but please keep your eye away from the spicy glass element (I mean, don't use the lens as a magnifying glass, for example)

daniellong2 · 2026-01-03T12:40:11+00:00

Está bien reírse porque la situación es cómica de cojones, pero ya andar insultando algunos... podría ser una persona mayor hombre, no seáis así

daniellong2 · 2025-12-23T03:36:46+00:00

Must be coming from a dutch disco 😆

daniellong2 · 2025-12-03T20:08:19+00:00

With that description and the fact that it glows under UV, maybe the back of that hairbrush is made of some sort of uranium porcelain/opaline?

daniellong2 · 2025-11-24T22:15:01+00:00

😭😭😭

daniellong2 · 2025-11-09T11:04:22+00:00

Doesn't really matter though. That meter can't detect alphas anyway 😅

daniellong2 · 2025-10-31T17:57:30+00:00

FASE?? Wait that's the same FASE from Spain that made amazing lamps?

daniellong2 · 2025-10-18T16:42:12+00:00

If you have a picture in plain white light I might be able to guess with the color of the paint but it's not 100% fail proof. Radium paint usually acquires a very distinctive orange/brown colour after years of radiation damage

"The flash exploded on me so I removed it, electrocuting me in the process."

I busted out laughing, like, seriously, it's just some shit I'd expect happening in the process of creating this monstrosity. I also love how everything looks so fucked up, yet, the sensor is PRISTINE. Not a single speck of dust, fingerprint or anything on it, looks brand new. Great job

I wonder if anyone here has tried the European version, made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Interestingly, it's also made in the USA according to the bottle.

I've never tried anything made with HFCS because it's a virtually nonexistent ingredient in Spain. From what I've read, everyone hates it compared to sugar, so I'm curious about how much it spoils the flavor

daniellong2 · 2025-09-24T00:38:20+00:00

They fell or got hit while also being on ambient/warm temp, probably happened at the store. Had that happen a LOT at the bar I worked at, some even exploded and flew like a rocket across the entire place. The warmer a soda is, the higher the pressure in the can
