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.

I find that a *lot* of my favorite entertainers come across as very funny and occasionally insightful amongst themselves but when you introduce someone else you like who actually knows things they become entirely insufferable. Not because they behave any differently, but because of the contrast and their inability to keep up.

The difference between uranium and plutonium, despite them being lumped together in the mind of the public, is significantly greater than the difference between fissile uranium and things you can find around your house.

The whole uranium thing isn't too surprising, given that some lacquers use uranium as a pigment iirc.

[@congruentcrib]

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.

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

[@spectrickx1678]

Its so funny how Nile just so casually brings up buying Uranium.

[@goosenotmaverick1156]

I haven't laughed through an entire video like this in so long. It's absolutely historical

[@seyyednaqvi6760]

You mean hysterical?

[@congruentcrib]

My brother has a few antique shop near him and he can pick up uranium glass for cheap. His boyfriend codes things, and they have it set up to where if you say fire up the power plant, it plays some sci-fi engine startup noise followed by black lights lighting the cabinets with the class. Pretty cool to see in action

NileRed is what you get if Michael Reeves completed college

[@HopsAndLead]

Dude says 2 words and everyone laughs and yammers on for 40 seconds. Let him speak.

[@coder0xff]

Why do you keep interrupting him?

[@plex4144]

bros , these guys make any person who has taken any chemistry course in college feel so much better academically.

[@LowQuatsSquats7529]

You're audio levels are scuffed like everyone besides Nigel is overwhelming loud. It's almost unwatchable because he'll get a sentence off then immediately cut off with the loudest voices.

[@merlinminy6871]

these guys b like omg you bought dihydrogen monoxide that ought to put you on a list

[@Ugapiku]

Next vid: so I bought this plutonium...

[@joe_z]

0:24 Pretty sure Mark Rober's already got dibs on him.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@JackieJKENVtuber]

Nigel is like a wizard to these guys

[@sonast2270]

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

[@farleyecclesgaming4706]

Lol government must answer the phone and know it's you before they pick up

[@johns1625]

I firmly believe that spending more than 15 minutes in this room will cause a barren womb 90% of the time.

[@XIIchiron78]

To elaborate, uranium can be used to make a number of very vibrant pigments with good thermal properties, which makes it great for glazing ceramics and mixing into glass. It used to be very common before people started to really understand and worry about radiation. Assuming it's cured properly, it's not really that dangerous. It's the kind if thing where you just don't want to sleep next to a cupboard full of it for years, or smash it and breathe in the dust.

[@WetDoggo]

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

[@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.

[@logarhythmic6859]

Stop interrupting him god dammit!

[@shottysteve]

please god let him talk stop interrupting him

[@gongetya.9244]

I love NileRed but this podcast just absolutely makes me want to go deaf. Stop yelling into your mics you children.

[@tlaoclazteuq5255]

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

[@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.

[@xVMouseVx]

I believe Nile is so popular is because people like hearing HIM talk. Watching a few of these Nile clips with these guys, the hosts need to let nile finish before interjecting on things they have no clue
