TIL that a gram of uranium contains 20 million kcals so if you ate just one gram of uranium you would have enough calories for the rest of your life. (lemmy.ca)

Technically true, but not for the reason you think

    Not technically true at all. You would not die of radiation, you'll just poop it out. Maybe fuck up your organs a bit, kidneys and liver but not deadly.

    Inhaling this stuff is where it becomes dangerous because it stays in the lungs.

    There are far more dangerous things to ingest but nothing with digestible calories. The entire premise is based on ignorance and fear.

    You're right about ingesting uranium but the premise of this post was based on ignorance and humour, not ignorance and fear. I'm just stupid not scared.
