I mean as long as you aren't eating out of them the radiation doses are small enough you generally won't have to worry about it. Tho if you wanna be safe you can get sub 100$ Geiger counter to find out how dangerous they are and toss the worst ones.
I just love how long ago everyone was just like 'you know what's a pretty color? Death'. The number of old coloring methods that are either radioactive are extremely deadly in some way is shocking. Let's not even get into the fact that human remains ( mummies) also were apparently used for a shade of brown if I recall correctly.
I blame the victorians for the mummy thing. They would also regularly host "unwrapping parties" to try to unwrap the mummies. They may have also tried to ingest powdered mummy as a cure but that might just be my brain being sarcastic. Hard to say, it does sound like something the Victorians would have done, the disrespectful gits.

I knew this and, funnily enough, yesterday I was trying to find out how many bananas it would take to power a nuclear reactor. Sad to report that it isn’t possible to create nuclear fission with bananas
Interesting enough in Australia we have an ANSTO facility were there is a small reactor used for neutron scattering and about on average cause is a low powered reactor being in the reactor room for an hour your only exposed to only 4-5 bananas the interesting thing is your exposed to 8 bananas worth just sleeping with someone in the same bed.

Though I am still grateful that so many people took the time to reply to my comment and give me the rest of the story.

When my parents moved to Colorado they wanted to move into the mountains, thing is, most homes in the houses up there (the ones for sell at that time) were all way over the safe levels of Radon. Living in the mountains not only comes with a higher price tag but it also came with a chance of cancer.
I was watching this while i was in the process of making banana bread on my granite tabletop, all I have to say is that i hid in the corner almost the whole time.
This is one of the first weird facts about food I actually knew before MatPat did a video on it (sorta similar to how I knew apple seeds were poisonous to some degree). Don't ask me how I knew that bananas were radioactive, I just did lol
I had to get a radon mitigation system installed in my new home this year because the radon levels were over the regular safe levels. It was definitely an interesting process.
I am mildly annoyed Matt implied that high radon levels are caused by countertops, not you know building a house in an area with high underground radon levels.
@@TheSubtleCow Same, where I live the radon emissions from the ground are high and therefore every couple of years you have to do a radon measurement in your house. If it’s high you have to renovate your ventilation.
@@TheSubtleCow But someone who lives in an area without high radon, probably doesn't have radon detectors. So then a granite countertop could become a source of radon which would go undetected...
8:13 it is safe to hold and be stored unless the objects is chipped or broken in any way then it has a segment for the release of radiation , objects must not be thrown away but for disposal of radiation contaminated objects must be summitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as they can be compressed and reused as a fuel source.
I was funnily enough at an antique store, saw some plates, said "Oh, Uranium glass," at which point my friend pointed out that the tags said that they were depression glass and we assumed that I was wrong. Guess I'm better at identifying dangerous dining sets than I thought.
Many of these radioactive dish ware, particularly the uranium glass, when used as ornamentation are practically harmless. You'd need to be eating/drinking from them exclusively or leaving them under you pillow at night to receive a large enough dose.
My wife and I actually collect uranium glass. We have somewhere around 50 or so pieces. Now we don't actually eat off of them. Just have them in a display cabinet with a UV led strip to show off their glow.
As soon as Matt said "danger in your fruit bowl" I immediately thought of the cancer plates, and in particular, a family friend who collects these things. Like, hundreds of them >_>
Right after says "Treat yourself to a radioactive free lunch," while in the same video saying how no matter where you are, you'll get radiation naturally, So what is it MatPat?!? Lol just a small flub in his script and slight oversight when he got excited on that sponsor money :P
This gives to 'Kris, get the banana!' a whole new meaning. No wonder the Queen was so into bananas. She was smuggling Potassium! Even the car exploded!
This just makes my think of the radium girls again... and now I'm sad about the mistreatment of workers. My brother played Mr. Berry in the play for his high school and I cried when I found out it actually happened.
Hey Matt and team! Could you maybe do a theory about organic food? I'm trying to eat healthier and I'm curious why organic foods are so much more expensive. Are they just harder to grow because they're not engineered? Is someone just trying to take advantage of people who want to eat healthy, or trying to make me settle for the cheaply made junk? I'd just love to learn about organic foods and all that, if that fits your vision. You're doing great stuff!
I actually already knew this thanks to one of TheRussianBadger's friends Fun Fact: if you were to eat 40,000 bananas in under ten minutes, you would die of radioactive poisoning
If you eat 40000 bananas in under 10 min, you'll die but radiation will have nothing to do with it. fun fact: You'll also die if you drink an equivalent amount of water
Internal bleeding would probably make that death even more painful from your stomach bursting. Not to mention 40,000 bananas on average weigh 4,720 kilograms, which is 4,199 kilograms more than the average 1.7 meter tall man. Give or take a few kilos.
Markiplier made a video where he used a Geiger counter to detect radiation in his girlfriend's passed-down dishware that really freaked him out. That would have been awesome footage to borrow here. I've also been talking about banana radiation for years. It's great to have a bunch of small facts on the same theme rolled together into a single full episode. Sure its a departure from the standard content you put up here, but honestly this is the best place for it.
@@unbeknownstprofile here is the link :) (keep in mind that the radiation testing for Amy’s passed down dishes is much later in the video near the end) th-cam.com/video/thfZkdACvp0/w-d-xo.html
here me out if I fed a banana to a spider would that make the spider radio active and If I let it bite me...I think u can see where I'm going with this
Whenever I see a big number after an energy or radiation calculation, I always ask "How many bananas is that?" because that is the only unit I can understand
Well this is just perfect, we have cyanide from apples and now radioactive bananas. Now we just need some wacky video game scientist to use this as some kind of death Ray
@@mycelia_ow as i mentioned before, apricot pits have more cyanide than apple seeds. bitter almonds have even more, but you'd need to eat a whole handful to experience the effects
I love Fetch. I use it literally every day, at least once. Anyway, I first found out about the radioactivity of bananas when I was in the Navy. I worked on board a nuclear submarine. I had to wear a little device on my belt that measures the amount of radiation I'm exposed to on a daily basis. When they explained the device to me, they assured me that even though we were powered by a nuclear reactor, the amount of radioactivity I'd be regularly exposed to was less than that of eating a banana.
I knew that too. i read this children's book called "The many worlds of Albie Bright" by christopher edge. and the mc used a banana, a quantum computer, and a cardboard box to hop universes. Really good read tho.
7:42 i don't really have anything to add to this theory, but i just thought it was interesting enough to share that my great grandpa actually mined uranium for kitchenware during that time. he also got in a mining accident that paralyzed him from the neck down, so yeah.
Sunlight is also ionizing radiation. It can even cause cancer, melanoma specifically. Upside is that it makes it one of the best sterilizer as well and the atmosphere filters out most of its ionizing parts.
To say that sunlight is ionizing radiation is inaccurate as it comprises nearly the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, instead it is more accurate to say it is partially ionizing radiation.
tbh im more suprised that you didnt know bananas are radioactive until recently. i usually rely on your videos for random trivial and interesting knowledge that i didnt know before instead.
Uranium glass is actually perfectly harmless in most conditions, it is just illegal to make these days because of the strict laws of uranium distribution.
It's specifically depleted Uranim, which has had most of the really radioactive isotopes decayed already. It's perfectly fine for display purposes if you're a collector, but, as said, avoid using it to serve food. Even aside from any radiation concerns, one should avoid exposure to heavy elements that far down the periodic table whenever possible (not just lead). Most have little to no biological purpose or means for the body to process so they just accumulate in the body over time, often settling to places like bones, kidneys, and the liver, standing in for elements like calcium and iron in certain compounds, rendering them inferior, useless, or actively toxic. In enough quantity, eventually they can cause biological disruptions, including cancer, dementia, and kidney/liver failure.
When matpat explained what ions were i recalled the explanation my science teacher gave us about ions. and only now do i actually understand what ions are. thank you for once again educating me better than how they do at school :)
higher wages equals higher cost for less food . but is it worth it. lot people could do a little less feeding. other issues like rent could be the issue
@卐-lakehunt360-卐 Nah, come out with a least two minute long diss tract towards a fictional character; Than I will at least recognize you as a competitor to them.
In 8th grade we calculated how many bannanas you would need to eat within an hour to be basically garunteed to die from cancer. I cant remember the exact number, it was something like 1.53 billion I think
I'd really like to see MatPat do an episode about which energy drink is actually the best for you. Specifically this new "Ghost" energy drink with all the sour patch kids flavors. It claims to be have zero sugar despite being really sweet, and also to have a lot of vitamins in it. Just an idea
I watched this and showed it to a older woman who is a dear friend. These are the types of videos i love about Food Theory. Keep up the good work. (My elder loved this video bytheway)
As a nuclear engineer this was fun to see in my sub box. Hope you bring up Brazil Nuts too! Edit: couple things I might be unnecessarily pedantic about- Background radiation comes from more than just minerals in the ground. It comes from the sun, and as many people probably first thought about when its mentioned- cosmic background radiation as well (the same from the big bang). Another big portion is from radon gas that can sometimes become trapped in people's homes (and set off radiation detectors periodically if environmental conditions are right). It exists in the air too, already, not just trapped in your countertop. Most airline pilots actually receive larger doses of radiation a year than nuclear engineers because going up in the atmosphere removes a lot of shielding between you and the deadly laser of the sun which, yeah, is emitting a lot of radiation. Sieverts are specifically measurements of dosage of received radiation. (In the US we tend to use rem instead (100rem equals one Sv), and typically they're measured in milli-rem). The bit about not eating radioactive material is particularly important. One portion of radiation typically encountered isn't too dangerous, but if you eat some material that emits radiation, well you're in for waaaay larger amount of damage (especially since your skin can actually shield you from a bit of radiation and you're bypassing that). Healthwise, a good analogy would be being stung by a bee once, vs eating a bee and having it live inside you for the rest of your life and sting your stomach lining every few hours. Oh, and every sting has a chance of giving you cancer. Don't ingest radioactive material folks. (Unless its bananas, there's not enough in there to be worried about and potassium is good for you, even if some of it is the spicy potassium)
Potassium-40, the spicy potassium. Wonderful. I'd like to become a nuclear engineer. I am interested in nuclear-thermal propulsion, so that would mean I want to be an aerospace engineer too, and, I guess, ultimately a thermodynamicist. Thermal energy is everything in those fields, according to what I have been told by a friendly engineer at my local nuclear power plant. (No joke, I am 12 miles from Palo Verde.)
@@dannypipewrench533 If you're into nuclear propulsion then the obvious application would be working for/with the Navy. Not many aero-specific applications for nuclear energy. (They found a nuclear powered bomber required too much weight from lead shielding to be feasible). Efficient use of thermal energy is everything in a nuclear plant yeah, a lot of that stuff Mechanical engineers learn about as well in their schooling (don't feel like you need to get a nuke E degree to do a nuke E job).
@@evanrobinson5682 I mean nuclear-thermal propulsion as in super-heating hydrogen with a fission reactor and shooting it out the bottom of a large flying cylinder. Sure, there are not a lot of existing examples, and airplanes would not (as thou said) be a practical use of this. Space launch vehicles might work well with this technology. It keeps on getting discontinued every time it has been tried, though, but that has always been due to funding issues. A working example should greatly reduce the price of space launches and decrease the time it takes to reach other celestial bodies.
You mentioned them briefly but I'd really like a whole episode on lead paint in kitchenware - a vintage garfield mug recently turned up online and was revealed to have lead in it
First got it from modern marvels(I’m pretty sure) at like age 13, but the first time It was brought to my mind in a VERY long time was watching Badger.
First time i already knew something food related before matpat made a video about it. Never knew that radioactivity documentary would ever come in handy
I would like to say, there is a lot of unreasonable scare mongering in regards to radiation in this video, which is particularly disheartening when we need sane minds making commentary on the actual dangers of radiation, since nuclear energy, both fission and fusion, are the most likely candidates for safe and sufficient power generation coming up. The worst candidate is dealing with uranium glass and radionuclides in glazes. The uranium in uranium glass is and the radionuclides, which is a fancy word for "atoms that decay and produce radiation", in glazes that contain them, as long the glaze and glass are not chipped or damaged, is 100% safe. It is 100% safe because it is not possible for chemicals to get at them and leach them out, because they are bound up entirely within an atomic matrix. If the glaze is damaged, or the glass is chipped, then it can become a radioactive dust hazard, and storing it safely in a plastic bag will render it perfectly safe for displace, as would putting it behind a glass display cabinet, where the dust is contained. The issue with most radiation is that if the source of that radiation gets inside of you, it is stuck in there and causing a lot of damage over time, mostly because those things that do the most damage are releasing particles, alpha and beta radiation, which have a hard time penetrating skin, but if they get inside of your body have an easy time hitting living cells that are dividing and potentially causing cancer.
I was about to say... I have seen few videos where they demonstrate just how dangerous these types of wares really are (which is not very if not smashed). Also, one video called it fiesta ware.
@@oscarcacnio8418 Yes, Fiesta Ware is the brand name, but it can come in other varieties. What matters is that the glaze uses radionuclides or the glass has radionuclides as part of its makeup. And yeah, as long as the dish is whole, and not chipped or broken, then it is quite safe despite putting out a surprising amount of alpha radiation.
Food Theory Idea: If you could only have 1 food and 1 drink for the rest of your life, what would be the best option. not your favorite but the best option. like which people could survive off of the longest or other examples
The tomato sauce issue with regards to cast iron pans is actually usually a non-issue; unless youre cookin somethin tomato based for more than 20-30 mins or so. If youre just finishin a spaghetti by pourin some premade sauce on it and happen to use a cast iron pan bcuz ya like to warm it up in a way to crisp up the noodles better than in a pot; then its not gonna leech any flavours or otherwise. Unless you then leave the sauce in the cast iron pan; which you just shudnt do ever. Cast iron pans shud always be emptied as soon as cookin is finished; both to lessen carry over cooking (tho can leave it to cool for several mins in the cast iron pan if ya want that) but also to just help maintain the oiled coatin of the cast iron pan and prevent any liquids from seeping into the pan or evaporatin on it and removin some of its coatin, or wordt of all rustin it (tho the rust can be cleaned relatively easily, but its a time consumin task that also involves lots of heat cuz ya gotta recoat the cast iron pan). Honestly for best preservation of a cast iron pan to keep it most useful for the things it is best used for; after cleanin the cast iron pan with hot water and at most a mild soap (just not like bleach or hvy strength vinegar) you shud then dry it off and wipe it down with a very fine coating of oil. This will both help maintain its original oil coating and also build layers of coatings on it to both act as a barrier between the first coating while also bein able to leech that oil into things you fry or sautee in the cast iron pan. That oil which ends up gettin flavoured from other foods cooked in it (even with cleanin it every time, unless you strip the oil coating using bleach or an acid like vinegar).
At this point, I'm not even surprised by this. I've watched so many of his videos with stupid concepts with logically correct explanations, that I might even not be surprised if he releases a video like 'minecraft actually added your mom!'
I told my teacher about his video, I’ve been wanting to show my class any theory channel for a while and the fact this lined up perfectly with what we are learning about seems like it’s destiny. Hope she lets us watch it :)

When my parents moved to Colorado they wanted to move into the mountains, thing is, most homes in the houses up there (the ones for sell at that time) were all way over the safe levels of Radon. Living in the mountains not only comes with a higher price tag but it also came with a chance of cancer.
I grew up in northern Nevada, took me far too long to learn that "radon test season" wasn't common everywhere

You just have to build a house with good ventilation in the basement

This is one of the first weird facts about food I actually knew before MatPat did a video on it (sorta similar to how I knew apple seeds were poisonous to some degree). Don't ask me how I knew that bananas were radioactive, I just did lol

I had to get a radon mitigation system installed in my new home this year because the radon levels were over the regular safe levels. It was definitely an interesting process.
I am mildly annoyed Matt implied that high radon levels are caused by countertops, not you know building a house in an area with high underground radon levels.
@@TheSubtleCow Same, where I live the radon emissions from the ground are high and therefore every couple of years you have to do a radon measurement in your house. If it’s high you have to renovate your ventilation.
@@TheSubtleCow But someone who lives in an area without high radon, probably doesn't have radon detectors. So then a granite countertop could become a source of radon which would go undetected...
7:28 Flashback to Markiplier freaking out that Amy's pottery was radioactive.
8:13 it is safe to hold and be stored unless the objects is chipped or broken in any way then it has a segment for the release of radiation , objects must not be thrown away but for disposal of radiation contaminated objects must be summitted to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as they can be compressed and reused as a fuel source.

I was funnily enough at an antique store, saw some plates, said "Oh, Uranium glass," at which point my friend pointed out that the tags said that they were depression glass and we assumed that I was wrong. Guess I'm better at identifying dangerous dining sets than I thought.
Many of these radioactive dish ware, particularly the uranium glass, when used as ornamentation are practically harmless. You'd need to be eating/drinking from them exclusively or leaving them under you pillow at night to receive a large enough dose.
Not to mention banana wise it's a natural breakdown not the more manmade one.

Hey Matt and team! Could you maybe do a theory about organic food? I'm trying to eat healthier and I'm curious why organic foods are so much more expensive. Are they just harder to grow because they're not engineered? Is someone just trying to take advantage of people who want to eat healthy, or trying to make me settle for the cheaply made junk? I'd just love to learn about organic foods and all that, if that fits your vision. You're doing great stuff!

I actually already knew this thanks to one of TheRussianBadger's friends
Fun Fact: if you were to eat 40,000 bananas in under ten minutes, you would die of radioactive poisoning
Kirby is the only thing that potentially could eat that many in that time, and I'm pretty sure Kirby is indestructible.
I knew, Badger's random post. Would come in handy.
One would likely have a ruptured stomach after fifty. Maybe a hundred if one has enough competition eating training.
If you eat 40000 bananas in under 10 min, you'll die but radiation will have nothing to do with it.
fun fact: You'll also die if you drink an equivalent amount of water
Internal bleeding would probably make that death even more painful from your stomach bursting. Not to mention 40,000 bananas on average weigh 4,720 kilograms, which is 4,199 kilograms more than the average 1.7 meter tall man. Give or take a few kilos.
I'm not gonna lie, I thought this was relatively common knowledge. However, the history and science-y stuff is pretty cool
does ice cream actually cool you down? and if it doesn’t whats the best frozen food to cool you down?
I feel like matpat would have heard about this fact a long time ago.
And?
Same i was surprised when this video popped into my feed, I would've thought he made a video about this topic earlier
When bananas are the most dangerous things in your kitchen: starts chucking butcher knives at people “They’re not that dangerous!”
Markiplier made a video where he used a Geiger counter to detect radiation in his girlfriend's passed-down dishware that really freaked him out. That would have been awesome footage to borrow here.
I've also been talking about banana radiation for years. It's great to have a bunch of small facts on the same theme rolled together into a single full episode. Sure its a departure from the standard content you put up here, but honestly this is the best place for it.

"Did you know bananas are radioactive?"
Yes. For years. Many years
I learned it from the amazing world of gumball
I learned it from dado.
QSERF Told me
I only found out after I was researching what items contain radioactive elements. (This was after looking into the Radium girls).
Well this is just perfect, we have cyanide from apples and now radioactive bananas. Now we just need some wacky video game scientist to use this as some kind of death Ray

actually, apricot pits have more cyanide than apple seeds

@@mycelia_ow as i mentioned before, apricot pits have more cyanide than apple seeds. bitter almonds have even more, but you'd need to eat a whole handful to experience the effects
Congrats on 30 million across all channels, really well deserved can’t wait to see more 😊
Food theory: What’s the difference between dry taste and dry food?
I love Fetch. I use it literally every day, at least once. Anyway, I first found out about the radioactivity of bananas when I was in the Navy. I worked on board a nuclear submarine. I had to wear a little device on my belt that measures the amount of radiation I'm exposed to on a daily basis. When they explained the device to me, they assured me that even though we were powered by a nuclear reactor, the amount of radioactivity I'd be regularly exposed to was less than that of eating a banana.
I knew that too. i read this children's book called "The many worlds of Albie Bright" by christopher edge. and the mc used a banana, a quantum computer, and a cardboard box to hop universes. Really good read tho.
5:15 I love how the editors made MatPat 367 years old
7:42
i don't really have anything to add to this theory, but i just thought it was interesting enough to share that my great grandpa actually mined uranium for kitchenware during that time. he also got in a mining accident that paralyzed him from the neck down, so yeah.
Matpat in the first 3 seconds: did you know that bananas are radioactive?
Me: yes
Sunlight is also ionizing radiation. It can even cause cancer, melanoma specifically. Upside is that it makes it one of the best sterilizer as well and the atmosphere filters out most of its ionizing parts.
To say that sunlight is ionizing radiation is inaccurate as it comprises nearly the entire spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, instead it is more accurate to say it is partially ionizing radiation.
So interestingly enough, it's recommended to cook something acidic in a cast iron pan if you have iron deficiency anemia!
So they essentially recommend you to slowly eat your cast iron pan?
@@fnaffoxy1987 apparently.
that's interesting, I want to look into that!
If you properly take care of/season your cast iron it doesn't get harmed by acidic foods.
Who is recommending that? That's not a good source of dietary iron. Your body won't process it in the way it needs iron.
Easily one of your most entertaining videos, absolutely loved it
tbh im more suprised that you didnt know bananas are radioactive until recently.
i usually rely on your videos for random trivial and interesting knowledge that i didnt know before instead.
Watching this while eating a banana is a rollercoaster of emotions
Uranium glass is actually perfectly harmless in most conditions, it is just illegal to make these days because of the strict laws of uranium distribution.
It's specifically depleted Uranim, which has had most of the really radioactive isotopes decayed already. It's perfectly fine for display purposes if you're a collector, but, as said, avoid using it to serve food. Even aside from any radiation concerns, one should avoid exposure to heavy elements that far down the periodic table whenever possible (not just lead). Most have little to no biological purpose or means for the body to process so they just accumulate in the body over time, often settling to places like bones, kidneys, and the liver, standing in for elements like calcium and iron in certain compounds, rendering them inferior, useless, or actively toxic. In enough quantity, eventually they can cause biological disruptions, including cancer, dementia, and kidney/liver failure.
When matpat explained what ions were i recalled the explanation my science teacher gave us about ions. and only now do i actually understand what ions are. thank you for once again educating me better than how they do at school :)
I’ve never liked bananas because of their texture, but now I am thankful for that
This was always one of the fun facts the kids would tell in elementary school 😅

I'd really like to see MatPat do an episode about which energy drink is actually the best for you. Specifically this new "Ghost" energy drink with all the sour patch kids flavors. It claims to be have zero sugar despite being really sweet, and also to have a lot of vitamins in it. Just an idea

I watched this and showed it to a older woman who is a dear friend. These are the types of videos i love about Food Theory. Keep up the good work.
(My elder loved this video bytheway)
As a nuclear engineer this was fun to see in my sub box. Hope you bring up Brazil Nuts too!
Edit: couple things I might be unnecessarily pedantic about-
Background radiation comes from more than just minerals in the ground. It comes from the sun, and as many people probably first thought about when its mentioned- cosmic background radiation as well (the same from the big bang). Another big portion is from radon gas that can sometimes become trapped in people's homes (and set off radiation detectors periodically if environmental conditions are right). It exists in the air too, already, not just trapped in your countertop. Most airline pilots actually receive larger doses of radiation a year than nuclear engineers because going up in the atmosphere removes a lot of shielding between you and the deadly laser of the sun which, yeah, is emitting a lot of radiation.
Sieverts are specifically measurements of dosage of received radiation. (In the US we tend to use rem instead (100rem equals one Sv), and typically they're measured in milli-rem). The bit about not eating radioactive material is particularly important. One portion of radiation typically encountered isn't too dangerous, but if you eat some material that emits radiation, well you're in for waaaay larger amount of damage (especially since your skin can actually shield you from a bit of radiation and you're bypassing that). Healthwise, a good analogy would be being stung by a bee once, vs eating a bee and having it live inside you for the rest of your life and sting your stomach lining every few hours. Oh, and every sting has a chance of giving you cancer.
Don't ingest radioactive material folks. (Unless its bananas, there's not enough in there to be worried about and potassium is good for you, even if some of it is the spicy potassium)
Potassium-40, the spicy potassium. Wonderful.
I'd like to become a nuclear engineer. I am interested in nuclear-thermal propulsion, so that would mean I want to be an aerospace engineer too, and, I guess, ultimately a thermodynamicist. Thermal energy is everything in those fields, according to what I have been told by a friendly engineer at my local nuclear power plant. (No joke, I am 12 miles from Palo Verde.)
@@dannypipewrench533 If you're into nuclear propulsion then the obvious application would be working for/with the Navy. Not many aero-specific applications for nuclear energy. (They found a nuclear powered bomber required too much weight from lead shielding to be feasible). Efficient use of thermal energy is everything in a nuclear plant yeah, a lot of that stuff Mechanical engineers learn about as well in their schooling (don't feel like you need to get a nuke E degree to do a nuke E job).
@@evanrobinson5682 I mean nuclear-thermal propulsion as in super-heating hydrogen with a fission reactor and shooting it out the bottom of a large flying cylinder. Sure, there are not a lot of existing examples, and airplanes would not (as thou said) be a practical use of this. Space launch vehicles might work well with this technology. It keeps on getting discontinued every time it has been tried, though, but that has always been due to funding issues. A working example should greatly reduce the price of space launches and decrease the time it takes to reach other celestial bodies.
You mentioned them briefly but I'd really like a whole episode on lead paint in kitchenware - a vintage garfield mug recently turned up online and was revealed to have lead in it
Luckily for me, I already know that Bananas are radioactive, but I'm still happy to see a theory about it

Great to know. I’ve been investing radiation all my life. At least I know it’s not fatal, thanks Matt
I would like to say, there is a lot of unreasonable scare mongering in regards to radiation in this video, which is particularly disheartening when we need sane minds making commentary on the actual dangers of radiation, since nuclear energy, both fission and fusion, are the most likely candidates for safe and sufficient power generation coming up.
The worst candidate is dealing with uranium glass and radionuclides in glazes. The uranium in uranium glass is and the radionuclides, which is a fancy word for "atoms that decay and produce radiation", in glazes that contain them, as long the glaze and glass are not chipped or damaged, is 100% safe. It is 100% safe because it is not possible for chemicals to get at them and leach them out, because they are bound up entirely within an atomic matrix. If the glaze is damaged, or the glass is chipped, then it can become a radioactive dust hazard, and storing it safely in a plastic bag will render it perfectly safe for displace, as would putting it behind a glass display cabinet, where the dust is contained.
The issue with most radiation is that if the source of that radiation gets inside of you, it is stuck in there and causing a lot of damage over time, mostly because those things that do the most damage are releasing particles, alpha and beta radiation, which have a hard time penetrating skin, but if they get inside of your body have an easy time hitting living cells that are dividing and potentially causing cancer.

@@oscarcacnio8418 Yes, Fiesta Ware is the brand name, but it can come in other varieties. What matters is that the glaze uses radionuclides or the glass has radionuclides as part of its makeup. And yeah, as long as the dish is whole, and not chipped or broken, then it is quite safe despite putting out a surprising amount of alpha radiation.
1:25 Yes, specifically those two things.

Just came from Dr. Strange 2 and that 7:33 was perfect.
The tomato sauce issue with regards to cast iron pans is actually usually a non-issue; unless youre cookin somethin tomato based for more than 20-30 mins or so.
If youre just finishin a spaghetti by pourin some premade sauce on it and happen to use a cast iron pan bcuz ya like to warm it up in a way to crisp up the noodles better than in a pot; then its not gonna leech any flavours or otherwise. Unless you then leave the sauce in the cast iron pan; which you just shudnt do ever. Cast iron pans shud always be emptied as soon as cookin is finished; both to lessen carry over cooking (tho can leave it to cool for several mins in the cast iron pan if ya want that) but also to just help maintain the oiled coatin of the cast iron pan and prevent any liquids from seeping into the pan or evaporatin on it and removin some of its coatin, or wordt of all rustin it (tho the rust can be cleaned relatively easily, but its a time consumin task that also involves lots of heat cuz ya gotta recoat the cast iron pan).
Honestly for best preservation of a cast iron pan to keep it most useful for the things it is best used for; after cleanin the cast iron pan with hot water and at most a mild soap (just not like bleach or hvy strength vinegar) you shud then dry it off and wipe it down with a very fine coating of oil. This will both help maintain its original oil coating and also build layers of coatings on it to both act as a barrier between the first coating while also bein able to leech that oil into things you fry or sautee in the cast iron pan. That oil which ends up gettin flavoured from other foods cooked in it (even with cleanin it every time, unless you strip the oil coating using bleach or an acid like vinegar).
At this point, I'm not even surprised by this. I've watched so many of his videos with stupid concepts with logically correct explanations, that I might even not be surprised if he releases a video like 'minecraft actually added your mom!'
