3:00 As someone who works with glass, the difference between Uranium glass and "window glass" is what's added to it for coloring. The base is generally the same, and then you add metal to change the color. I think Uranium glass has a minor green tinge to it, but glows vibrant green under UV light. If I remember correctly, window grade glass uses aluminum oxide or magnesium Oxide to make it clear and opaque. If you sub the Aluminum Oxide or Magnesium Oxide with another metal or metallic oxide, you can get some very pretty and vibrant colors. Uranium Glass is radioactive. HOWEVER, due to the small amount of Uranium per gram of glass used and the small mass, antique Uranium glass is fairly safe to handle. DO NOT use it for food and drink. If you're worried, most curio cabinets are thick enough to safely store and display Uranium glass.

[@joeycampbell940]

Uranium glass is completely food safe. All the uranium is within the glass so you won't ingest any without first breaking it and the alpha radiation it gives of in barely detectable amounts can hardly travel through air let alone contaminate or damage anything.

For my science-fair project I tested offense catalyst in solid rocket boosters. One of the materials we used was oxidized iron. In order to get the metal to oxidize quickly we needed to make a cemcal reaction take place. We found a thing but it said that is was highly dangerous, but the deadline was coming fast so we were just going to be as safe as we could be. After we set the chemical reaction, we did a little more research and it turns out that one of the byproducts was either HCN, or some diluted form of that. HCN is Hydrogen Cyanide. This was also the same chemical used in Zyclon B. We accidentally made a Nazi gas chamber. Luckily we are weird and had gas masks on hand, but I do remember explaining that one of the things we did was made a highly poisonous gas that “killed a lot of people in WWII”. I didn’t want to say to the judges that I made Zyclon B, but I just eluded ti it. I was later told that my experiment would’ve won top prizes in my school but it was deemed “too unsafe”. I think it’s bullshit that you discredit someone’s work for being too dangerous. Being said, ever since then I’ve said screw safety in science; if it’s dangerous then take proper precautions. Being told my science was too dangerous honestly destroyed me.

NileRed is what you get if Michael Reeves completed college

[@Howtoeatrocks]

0:58 I remember when people were buying dmt and “research” chemicals on eBay all the time. I knew someone who claimed to cure her bpd through eBay chemicals. And uh from an external observation she did not

[@markthorliebmann]

What I see here is NileRed the scientist and a bunch of kids just laughing and interrupting. The hosts are so obnoxious

[@shawncozad8565]

Surrounded by planks of wood.

[@Tangeryeen]

God this is simultaneously amazing and annoying at the same time. Just let your guest speak please. Ffs. He has so many awesome stories.

[@tlaoclazteuq5255]

dumping that in the trash is a sure fire way to cause a new orphan source incident

[@BloodChampagne]

torn because I want to watch this for nile but I can't deal with those two fools interrupting him to make childish jokes constantly

[@austinftwXD]

I remember those days, I once ordered a GALLON of 100MG/ML nicotine in VG off ebay for like $100 or so. With no ID or anything. that's enough to make like a 55 gallon drum of vape juice.

[@shottysteve]

please god let him talk stop interrupting him

[@JackieJKENVtuber]

Nigel is like a wizard to these guys

[@dragonmaster48141]

I'm just going to assume that 80% of the views here are NileRed fans who haven't seen an episode of trash taste before this and only clicked for Nigel. They are acting like this is supposed to be a serious interview and it isn't, it's a casual podcast where they just shoot the shit and talk about random shit. This is more like sitting around the bar with some friends and then having them tell weird stories and they react to it. I mean for fucks sakes on a separate episode they had a bit where Garnt told a story about killing a cockroach which he painted as an epic battle... but when you looked deeper into it was just a really pathetic fight. If you came into this expecting a serious discussion, you clearly have no idea what they do here.

[@ellonganiza]

Podcasts episodes like this one are proof of why every channel or podcast needs an Angry Joe´s Alex archetype. A silent calculating type. These guys were so overwhelming on poor nile. Also I understand the impulso to put the guest in the center seat. But dude, if you´re going to bombard him with questions and weird laughter, don´t surround the man! That being said, amazing guests and cools questions. Now just a matter of polishing that etiquette

[@FrancesLavigne]

LET HIM TALK OMG 🙄

[@Brianuuuu]

What's hilarious about Nigel is that he's not even trying to be funny, he's just telling his experience

[@gh8066]

maybe let him talk?

[@davidjovanovic7482]

i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software

[@nassalspray77]

They all interrupted him too much

[@lenmetallica]

Nile had a lot of patience lol

[@sonast2270]

This is such a random collab, nilered is one of the few youtubers that I follow for years

[@hawkeye454]

The hosts really need to stop interrupting the guest, let the man talk!

[@blablablablablablablablablbla]

The 3 people talking with him are often annoying because so much of it feels like overreaction. Like Jimmy Fallon kinda stuff

[@jeremycrochtiere6317]

😱 I love these discussions you guys have with NileRed.. Always wanted to chat with him Casually like this so glad you guys do this. Priceless

[@bismuth7730]

I know we all adore NileRed but let the man speak!!

[@Ugapiku]

Next vid: so I bought this plutonium...

[@aaronarndt3045]

somehow the scientist is the only one on this podcast without autism

[@vhaelen326]

"legally you can throw your uranium waste in the garbage... but we strongly prefer if you didnt" is the most canadian reaction i can think of

[@defNOTdallas]

Nigel could barely get 5 words out in sequence before being interrupted by someone laughing and interjecting their jokes, opinions, or questions. Really frustrating trying to actually listen to his story here

[@WetDoggo]

you can also just get/find uranium ore and just process it yourself
