this rock is from the first nuclear explosion 

Him saying "pretty cool" while staring at it makes me think he wants to lick it to know what it tastes like..

Canada Post, “this package is spiking the radiation meters, should we call anti-terrorism?” Manager: “Nah, it’s going to NileBlue, it’s fine.”

"So this is definitively radioactive" Next scene "It is pretty cool" while holding it close to his face.

Bro immediately lost his smile the moment he was told it could be radioactive for real. 😂

"Should I taste it?😃"

This is the origin moment where NileBlue finally becomes NileGreen.

"I got a package for you" "What is it?" "Cancer"

“ it’s pretty radioactive” Proceeds to hold it barehanded lol

"still radioactive" proceeds to hold it in his hand to admire it

"its beeping quite a lot" That Geiger counter was off more than it beeped, you should be worried when the beep never ends

Trinitite is scattered all over the place if you go to the Trinity test site. Which people can just visit.

Now for the flavor test

nile: now time to make some for myself! first... we need to make the bomb

"WAIT, THIS COULD BE RADIOACTIVE?" *instantly ghoulifies*

I love the way he casually put it down knowing it may be radioactive.

*Geiger counter goes haywire* "I didn't put batteries into it yet, does that mean anything?"

Anyone wondering this is barely radioactive, This is 370 CPM for comparison 1 microSeivert p/h (μSv/hr) is about 120 CPM this is the average background radiation, so 370 CPM is about 3 times the average background radiation and is only concentrated on the rock, for comparison your entire body receives 6.9 μSv/hr (828 CPM) during a CT scan, the legal limit for background radiation in the work place is 20 μSv/hr (2,400 CPM) even if you were to cover yourself in a rock with 370 CPM you would still not pass the legal limit let alone the lethal does, which for comparison is about as low as 7,000 μSv/hr (980,000 CPM) but can be as high as 10,000 μSv/hr (1,200,000 CPM) Does this mean he’s being exposed to a dose of 3 μSv/hr of radiation, actually no, this is where size matters, the rock is very small and the only place receiving a dose this high would only be the top layer of skin on his hand, another factor is he’s only exposed to it for really short periods of time, so realistically this is completely safe. The factor that affects how much radiation you receive isn’t the energy output, but the amount of energy absorbed.

370 cpm is around 2.1 microsieverts per hour, while the average background radiation people are exposed to is around 2.4 microsieverts per hour. This trinitite isn't really dangerous and it's also likely the geiger counter is picking up background radiation.

"It's pretty cool..." *Eats it

“what’s this?” “radium :)”

You aren't really in danger until the counter goes monotone

It looks like he's holding cancer in his bare hands . I don't have that much courage ,a salute for this guy.

Did we just witness the beginning of a slow “murder” case. Kidding

Markiplier with radioactive cups: Get it away from me! Nigel with radioactive rock: Its pretty cool.

You're right it's not small it's above average

"This can kill you." Humans, for some reason: "That’s pretty cool"

I can only imagine how much something like that would cost...

The only way that sample would be hazardous to you is if ingested or inhaled it. You can find things in antique stores that are significantly more radioactive and even those are pretty safe. The average smoke detector is much more radioactive.

one of these days: "whats in this vial?" "Oh! its black tar heroin, lets turn it into Fruit Loops!"

I used to live 30 miles from the Trinity sight. Outside San Antonio New Mexico.

I've encased trinitite in borosilicate glass for some art pieces, it's a really neat item and I cherish the samples in my collection

The face shift of neil founding out that could still be radioactive 😂😂😂

That's one of the coolest things to have. Memory from the first nuclear bomb which set a whole lot into motion

Come on that rocks. Radiation level only compares to about 3 bananas.

”Here have this rock!” ”Cool, what is it?” ”A super radioactive rock.”

"Its a nice slim package. Oh, its a very small thing." Where have I heard that before?

If you look carefully you can see Oppenheimer's hair

I have one of those pieces, too, and it is absolutely still radioactive

Hearing those people scream in that video at the beginning was heart wrenching. God. The fact that I was 7 when this horrible disaster happened makes it all the more real.

i own a piece of trinitite and it's about 194 CPM

after the radioactive glass video, I think his body has developed immunity to radioactivity

NileRed: It's definitely radioactive. * eats it *

That's pretty cool. I live in New Mexico. They open the Trinity Site once a year to the public and will even let you take trinitite from there.

For those curious, this is well within safe levels of background radiation for short exposure times. 370CPM is 2.109mSv

Nile contemplating the unmitigated destruction of nuclear warfare: "It's pretty cool"

Atleast it wasn't beeping indefinitely

Marie Curie just flinched

“Wait, this can be radioactive?” Ive never seen someone look like that happy before

Imagine how many radioactive/poisonous/dangerous things go through the mailsystem and shredding off postalworkers life without them knowing

I just love that curt, “What?!”

whole video, stone hype and stuff end of video, Nigels tone saying "its pretty cool" being so sincere, its an actual piece of history, that the common person never comes close to hold.

" Ohh it's a very small thing " That's what she said :(

That- that’s not small that’s average 😢😢

I love how excited you get with science.

this guy is so curious about everything that he doesn't even have fears

"Well, that does it."

The gaze into the radioactive decay.....wow. yeah.

I like how Nile wanted to hurt this man for handing him something potentially radioactive.

Actually holding history

“Today I will be doing something I always wanted to do. I will be making cherry flavored cola out of radioactive rocks.”

Wow, a rock. 80 years ago is still radioactive, impressive

Nile blue is polar opposite of his main channel. Fun and friendly to chaotic and potentially disastrous

Now turn it into jello or something

I love watching NileRed and NileBlue, Nigel is the reason chemistry is my favorite science

“It’s definitely radioactive” Proceeds to hold it close to face and stare at it

Now test the spiders in Oscorp

Depending on Element Radioactivity lasts longer in it, Metal being the one where it stays in longest and Air about where it dissapates the fastest, Thus meaning modern cities with tons of metal are dangerous if radioactivity emerges from somwhere.

Spongebob: "It's a rock!"

If you can count the beeps, you're good

Never get tired of his videos

Hey, look at this picture real quick. I just want to test if this is really SCP-096.

That looks like a perfectly average sized package to me lol

Now I have become death, destroyer of worlds 😂

“It’s definitely radioactive.” Cut to him holding it again

Get a radiacode to prove its fission products instead of natural occurring thorium or uranium

eat it

Cool deal. A permanent heater for your MREs.

“It’s definitely radioactive” *Proceeds to still pick it up*

cameraman some day later "here's another package, it contains small chunk of elephant foot from Chernobyl, i want you to test how much radioactive it is"

* unwraps * A rock? From the very first nuclear explosion! * Wraps back up as fast as possible *

Idk sterling: this guy got a radiation sickness, it doesnt know yet. 💀💀💀

The guy who took that rock off of the Trinity test site committed a felony to sell you that piece of Trinitite. Stay safe my man.

orrrr it’s just a normal radioactive rock being sold as a first edition nuke rock

"It's pretty cool!" BUT ☠️ 💀💀💀💀💀 ☠️

Bro just took 60 years off his life!!

Was literally expecting Nile to eat it

"It's pretty radioactive..." *continues to hold the Oppenrock*

Real smart, holding a piece of radioactive material without any protective clothing. And some friend for not telling him first.

That's amazing, I would do anything to add something like that to my collection

He says, “It can still be radioactive?” while holding it in his hand.

i wouldn't say its small its pretty average and it also has a nice personality

Only nile red can see something is radioactive and still hold it to hes facr

"It's definitely radioactive." but still hold and staring at it. Epic.

Your friend is trying to kill you

"It's definitely radioactive.......should I taste it?"

"It's a very small thing" that's what she said!

“It’s definitely radioactive” *puts his face up close to it*

Nile acting like he didn’t already make a nuclear bomb off camera.

Nigel: "I have become death, the collector of rocks"

I bet at the post office they be like: another package for THIS dude, you go grab it!
