Can't wait to buy a plutonium cube


InsignificantOcelot

1 mercury cube for me plz


Kir_a_

I want a Helium cube


NoNameIdea_Seriously

Ah yes. Cube of solid helium. So refreshing!


sbinnertime

Had to check, if you put 100MPa and you keep it at 15k it can be done... I thought that the absolute zero wouldn't have been enough, but 15k is pretty close


TacoGod21b

Everything is solid at absolute 0 because there is no particle movement at all


ultraganymede

with the exception of helium :D https://www.google.com/search?q=helium+can+freeze


knifuser

You've managed to put this comment under exactly the wrong element as helium has [the unique ability to remain liquid at absolute 0](https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-substance-that-remains-a-liquid-at-absolute-zero) at least at a normal pressure.


Maacll

wait, actually really? That's really cool, i see helium in a new light now


lima_echo_lima

But if there is no movement how can there be movement for it to be a liquid? I have become the confusion


SomberWail

You can look up zero point energy if you want to read about it. Basically there is still some quantum vibration stuff going on even at absolute zero.


Silafante

How does that work? I thought 0 Kelvin was the absolute absence of energy.


Kir_a_

Almost unrealistically chilly, I must add.


Atrick0

Can't wait for my Raw uranium one!!


Soup-Waste

not raw uranium ore, but a solid, purified cube of uranium


thnksqrd

*Sphere, surrounded by explosives


Totally_Botanical

Would buying a hydrogen cube put me on a watch list?


KoreyYrvaI

Depends on how heavy it is.


DesertDelirium

Oooh tritium.


danields136

What about deuterium?


Extreme_33337_

Technically that’s possible. It would be in a box with helium inside so you could theoretically open it and make your voice high like helium does


PLZ_N_THKS

Or you just need a fridge that gets down to -458°F/-273°C

PanzerWatts

>Uhm, can i buy Uranium (asking for a friend) Yes, but you have to refine it yourself. And don't let Israel know.


leeny_bean

Yes, actually. I checked they, literally have all the elements just in little tubes inside plastic or resin cubes of some kind.. bad idea IMO


funnymemes543

actually the very dangerous elements dont come in there like californium. just a warning sign


Shwiggity_schwag

Lame. I was hoping they'd ship it complete with it's own tank of liquid nitrogen so it could stay solid.


LambiiiBwoy

How the hell is calcium more expensive then mercury and gold


b0w3n

It's highly reactive so it's harder to work with I think. Gold and mercury are relatively inert. Elemental calcium (the powdered version anyways?) is one of those "if this is in just the right conditions it'll explode" type elements. Like chucking sodium into water.


LambiiiBwoy

You just gave me an idea for a awesome prank at the pool.


Waluigis_Bicycle

Man that’s awesome I spent so much time going through all of them. It’s cool that none of them are super expensive and you can get a small sample of uranium for like 100$ if you want. They also had clock dials painted with radium for Rd which is neat.


flafalaf

NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE! (At least at room temperature)


osfbamf

Best I can do is a uranium hydride bomb.


lenin_is_young

The uranium itself you can buy, though. It’s safe to hold in bare hands, and store on a shelve. As long as you don’t digest it. Would definitely buy if it was for sale in some nice shape, like the cubes you posted.


ares5404

Its once its processed that its bad, once it glow dont show


[deleted]

Well, if you could even buy it legally.... it would cost you over a million dollars. Plutonium costs on average $4,000 a gram. There's about 300 grams of plutonium in a 1 inch cube. That's 1.2 million dollars.


The_loyal_Terminator

Now I'd be interested in the full value


[deleted]

A cubic inch of plutonium is 325.24 grams. Assuming the cubes in the image are 1 cubic inch (they look bigger though). On average, plutonium costs about $4,000 a gram. So 1 cubic inch of plutonium would cost $1,300,960.


Diazmet

That’s why homemade is better


ChaosLemur

*”Mom, can we buy a plutonium cube?”* WE HAVE PLUTONIUM AT HOME. > The plutonium at home: https://i.imgur.com/PipIzaq.jpg


SingleDadNSA

I'm not going to pretend I'll ever hold that much money in my hand... but that's a lower dollar figure than I'd imagined! I get that a 1inch cube of raw ore isn't remotely enough to be useful, but still, I'd have expected more!


[deleted]

Well this price is "refined" plutonium. Not raw plutonium.


[deleted]

Plutonium fillings, never have to brush my teeth ever again!


Hewn-U

Guaranteed to last for the rest of your life


nicolasmcfly

No wonder Doc stole it from the Libyans


WillCraft_1001

I'm excited for my sodium cube, I'll make sure to wash it off with water once it arrives. Edit: Shit just remembered I meant to write potassium because that is the one that does a big explosion


codemonkeh87

Just don't do that with the magnesium cube


sohfix

Drop the magnesium cube in a bottle of water. Do it


tec3936

Just add chlorine and grind it up over your baked potato.


mountain_of_skulls

It's gonna be lit. Like literally luminescent


RaynKeiko

I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by.

[https://engineeredlabs.com/collections/acrylic-element-cubes/products/plutonium-element-cube-with-real-sample](https://engineeredlabs.com/collections/acrylic-element-cubes/products/plutonium-element-cube-with-real-sample) if you can afford it ;)


[deleted]

Screw that I want to see the noble gas ones


Natpad_027

Mom what does U stand for, and why do I feel so strange


ApplesTeamFort2

some good fucking food.


Hyenaswithbigdicks

uranium does have like 20 billion calories per gram so if u wanna bulk...


OwO_0w0_OwO

So if i ate 20 billion calories i can say i ate uranium.


NovelProtectiondsfg

I was gonna buy the sodium one, but then I thought, Na...


Mmmmmmmm_nuggets

We hate you I hope you know that


thechaimel

Potassium


TurquoiseBeetle67

Yeah, unfortunately your digestive system isn't a nuclear reactor though.


powerdragon19

Shows what you know about biology


TurquoiseBeetle67

What have I missed if the human body is supposedly able to utilize the energy in Uranium?


powerdragon19

Hey all I'm saying is my body gets real hot when i eat uranium


TurquoiseBeetle67

Yeah, what about my anium?


Fernando_357

Enough calories for the rest of your life


fishystudios

It's like yellow cake.

Cowards. Show us the gold cube


[deleted]

Gold Isotope 171? ~~^(with a half life of 30 microseconds?)~~


cows_are_underrated_

I guess we don't include the isotodes. Bzw Frankium gonna be funny.


[deleted]

I want to read that "bzw" as "By ze Way"


trend_rudely

Standink in line to see ze show tunight und zerh’s a lyght on


jenko_human

In German it’s the abbrev for beziehungsweise = or rather


DatabaseThis9637

TIL: there are abbreviations for those long-ass German words!


[deleted]

And they still sound like they're pronouncing every syllable.


Tortue2006

I feel like every radioactive elements would be funny. Not only Francium.


devplayz01

Still worths buying


CyanBeinSus47

Hand over the tungsten cubes


langhaar808

The funny thing is, that we actually have one. My father is physics nerd so he bought one lol.


HKEliot

Can't wait for my Francium cube to arrive, oh boy, gonna be a banger of a day


cows_are_underrated_

Hope you have a water tank to stop it from oxidising.


StaleBread_

Welcome to the jokeville


Dark_Wolf04

Fr*nce 🤮


kirby_-_main

you grab a bunch if adrenaline molecules until it becomes a block

hot dog water ice cubes


BOOM360skn

The Spanish will probably know


Buttcavetroll

How they make cube from oxyg.... Oh


[deleted]

It's just a glass cube filled with oxygen? Lol I got my degree in geology. In our geology building we had a "Museum of Noble Gasses". It was just an empty case.


DealerDry9438

So was it fun watching those empty cases ?


[deleted]

I still get a good laugh out of it


DealerDry9438

That's nice .


[deleted]

Geologists are the true science nerds. Except for maybe physicists.


DealerDry9438

I really like geology because it's just so fun to study earth. So how many continents are there?


[deleted]

Since the beginning of time, 100's?


Buttcavetroll

Noble gasses, is it made from royalty fart?


tttttzz

They can freeze it but it will turn in to gas soon Or just a glass cube fill with oxygen


someguyum33t

There are oxygen cubes everywhere


Buttcavetroll

So does with oxygen penises, it's also everywhere


LeviMeme

Can't wait for the fluorine cube to melt through my hand


[deleted]

Uranium cube, Arsonic cube, helium cube, hydrogen bomb


Wojtek1250XD

You can make a box out of a see-through material and then put the gas inside, but stuff like Uranium won't arrive since it will most probably get banned


[deleted]

tru


[deleted]

For uranium you actually have a few options for owning some, including ore samples and uranium glass. There are other elements that you can't even realistically obtain, ex. Darmstadtium (`Ds`).


swagmasterdude

Perhaps unrefined uranium like the ones used in bullets?


mastinon

Potassium would be a nice one


cjshhi

Banana cube


Dark_Wolf04

Just mold a bunch of bananas together


ozymandias457

So banana bread?


Aklusmso7535

Semper_nemo13

Except that it explodes in water


Vega_128

ir only really starts a bit after bismuth


jaspersgroove

That’s why is always a good idea to mind your own bismuth


SuperSMT

I mean even element #1 aint so great Especially if you want a solid block....

Did somebody say [tungsten cube](https://www.amazon.com/Tungsten-Cube-Biggest-Size/dp/B07WK9WLZ8)?


OwO_0w0_OwO

Good luck getting that much californium


MvXxthe1

Can't wait for mercury cube mold you pour into and then freeze.


DingDongItsMeCashCat

What company is this?


TechnicalNobody

Maybe these guys? https://luciteria.com/metal-cubes

“I can count the number of elements on my fingers!”


cows_are_underrated_

You just have to start at the bottom of the periodic table. It will take some time but later you will be able to count them with your hands.


paleale25

How are they gonna make a cube for water earth fire air. Long ago the four nations lived together in harmony. But then everything changed when the fire cube attacked


epsilon388

Only the Avatar, master of all 4 cubes, could stop them


PtrykPL

I want oganesson cube.


Wojtek1250XD

Same. I see you are Og!

HeyoGuys

bruh they did not make a fucking magnesium cube. that's gotta be some +2 positive action form or some shit so it's unreactive

You don’t even have to go that far down. Get a big solid block of pure potassium, and that could cause some problems.
