This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Don't you be lying up in this thread! Uranium is very boring looking. Just another grey metal.

well yes but also uranium dissolved in glass is fluorescent

and uranium salts are bright yellow

You can get loads of pretty uranium colors in solution. I love me some chemistry, where the answer to the question "what color is it?" is preceded by "well it depends on the oxidation state..."

The answer to the question is preceded by the phrase. Yeah, it was tricky grammar but I didn't feel like trying to come up with a more clear phrasing.

Anyway, as in "Well, that depends on the oxidation state. Aqueous +2 would give you..."

but it glows in fallout );

i mean technically, if you refine uranium into plutonium, and then isolate plutonium 238. It does glow.

plutonium 238 moment.
