Uranium is safe compared to this... 

I'm going to make my own box now. First I need a Giger counter, and I shall hit all the antique stores.

i dont think that's his house 🤣 or his watch hands

even scarier when you think that they were manufactured by painting the hands with radium-containing paint. and the women who did it used to get their brushes to a fine point by licking them. they all died, basically.

@@malter87 it very clearly is his stuff🤡

@@malter87 ether way he’s grabbing it and shit lol

That box is not blocking any of the radiation trust

I would love that on my tombstone

Well, better not cremate the body and spread the ashes in the park

@@dragonashly3383☢️☢️💀💀

WOW I did not think that so many people would know about that.

Learnt about it in school so I’m sure a lot of others did too

They were taught to lick the brush tips to get them to stick together better too. Terribly sad story

Yes, this was the real issue behind the radium paint. Not the little bit in a metal case on your arm, but the industrial quantities handled by the manufacturing workers.

Real

And to make it worse, they got radium jaw (named after this incident) where some of the womens jaws fell off due to the decay the radium made to their bones and skin

@@libertylad1868why not

​@@ayuballena8217depends on the model and setting. If it's trying to detect trace amounts or deviations from background levels it'll go to a solid tone at anything above background, giegers designed to protect personnel are way, way harder to get that far.

In old time, they fought radioactive material was good for your body, since they did it in small doses and saw cancer cells dieing and not other cells(after time it did tho). They littlerly made raidumwater for daily use if you are sick because as I said, it kills cancer cells and bacteri cells.....

It's perfectly safe to handle for small periods

Nile secretly has superpowers

Like a boss

Dead meme is dead.

And I’m pretty sure they either had to get surgery to remove their jaws, or they fell off, I recently watched a school play about them, it was horrible what happened

The fact companies once used radium in everyday products, that use of radium was around the time of the radium girl too

Thanks for this answer. Somehow there was some wisdom missing in the comments

They also used to paint their bodies with it for fun in the dark.

I wouldnt lick water paint, but those ppl licked public brushes in a factory?

Ebenezer Byers,as well. (golfer and industrialist) Unverified health supplements are not a good idea…

@ButtPlugPacifier Well, when your entire jaw snaps in half and starts disintegrating at a routine dental visit, I would claim that as nightmare fuel. Do an image search if you think you can stomach it.

​@ButtPlugPacifier Your body falling apart while you're still alive IS a nightmare to most us.

​​​@ButtPlugPacifier It really is though. Your bones turning to mush and falling off while you slowly rot to death helpless in your own skin is absolutely terrifying. Very few deaths as slow and painful as acute radiation sickness. Even the strongest morphine drip won't help. Makes even the most aggressive cancer look like a walk in the park. Maybe if WWIII pops off you'll get firsthand experience.

And you think companies treat people any differently these days? I wouldn't be surprised if in 100 years people look back in shock and horror at some the stuff we ingest or handle now..... Just because we think it is safe doesn't mean it actually is, smoking was considered safe and healthy for you at one point and were even promoted and in some case prescribed by doctors

Nah they knew it was dangerous af. The people making the paint wore full hazmat suits, then told the women that painted the hands it was safe. The girls would wet the paintbrush with their mouth and a lot of them just straight up had their jaws rot off. Some evil shit, it wasn't at all "not knowing" it was "lying to the workers". I know all those higher-ups are probably dead by now, but if not, I hope they're miserable.

@@damiencouturee6240 Worse still, it was done just so they could disrupt the entire industry. They purposely poisoned people then blamed "capitalism" when the problem was just them. There's a reason all the companies in the USA are owned by like 10 people.

​@@damiencouturee6240 kinda like with cigarettes.

I hope doctors never recommend something truly dangerous for their patients ever agaib

Sure bud

supernova really gave us some of the best and worst material ever

Didn't one of them paint their nails "glow in the dark" and had some bad health problems after

Yeah some painted nails, necklaces, earrings, one even put it on her teeth for some reason or another. The amount of stories where someones "lower mandible falls off" related to the radium girls is a terrifying prospect to think about ☠☢

Yep. This is why corporations CANNOT be trusted.

Just like the leftists in the government, they didn't really care.

Well it's only dangerous if he stays near it for an extended period, a few seconds of video is safe enough...

@@aynonymos by this point we all know nigel's lab is just filled with a bunch of radioactive material, its hard to not believe he's already immune to radiation (jk, im hopium nigel has safety precautions...)

@@helper_bot a lot of his materials (these watch hands included) primarily emit weak alpha radiation, so being in a plastic or glass container is enough to block the radiation

@@kalinridenour how do you think the detector functions?

@@scoddri7392 if I’m not mistaken, a Geiger counter operates by radiation ionizing internal gas. I know what you’re getting at, and ngl it does confuse me. The radiation emitted by the watch hands is pretty weak and blocked very easily, so I’m not sure why the Geiger counter is going crazy. My best guess is that the proximity is so close and there’s so much radiation that it activates the Geiger counter, but the radiation dissipates very quickly after that

As a point of clarification, they would have been forming the fine tip on the brush with their mouths before getting new paint after a rinse, so they weren't strictly eating paint while making these watch dials, but rather getting smaller amounts at a time that hadn't washed out of the brush. You're definitely right that radium was also used in all sorts of products including makeup and food-prep materials. Additionally, some people also painted their teeth with radium so they would glow at parties, and that would obviously lead to a huge amount of it getting into their bodies. Our bodies treat radium similar to calcium since they're in the same group on the periodic table, and so it concentrates in bones and teeth, particularly in the lower jaw. People with high amounts there like the radium girls could see effects of high radiation doses such as cell damage their bodies couldn't repair quickly enough and sometimes eventual loss of their teeth or jaw as a whole, and people who lived with lots of radium in their bodies became a lot more likely to die of cancers and especially leukemia.

@@karlfahrenholtz9415 yup, I was going for the concentrated version but yea that's spot on.

Even a hundred years later, when scientists examined their bones (what was left of it), it glowed enough to leave prints on x-ray paper.

Radium infused water bottles were also a thing

Thank you for beating me to the punch. I was actually surprised he didn't mention this in the video. The women were encouraged to use their lips to get their paint brushes to a nice fine point. Crazy.

Can almost guarantee you any modern watch replacement parts will be Tritium, not Radium. It is still radioactive, but much easier to shield than radium. It is used in firearms sights and such and is generally much safer.

​@@ThrasherMan i have been trying to get my hands on one

I had one of those watches but careless young me left it in the backyard for years lol

@@nothanks9503 do you still have it?

Most divers watches have their hands painted in this for luminescence in the dark/underwater. I’m sure I saw tag heuer hands in there, I have an old sel that needs a service. It’s completely non functional, unless you shine a bright led into it then it reactivates and works for a very short time. I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s the same, but then again I don’t think it’s been serviced since the 90’s

What purpose did it serve to coat them in radium though?

@@gameranger7957 ahh ok, thanks 👍

Don't they still use something that makes some sniper scopes glow and watch hands too? Tritium I believe. And it's very expensive. Did radium glow better?

@@TheGingaWeirdo I was just about to mention them. Having licked the radium paint brush when painting those clock details for so many years and then end up losing your lower jaw because of radiation damage is HORRIFYING

So many things of the past were deadly to people. I think the worst being asbestos because it was in EVERYTHING. Drywall, tile, break pads. Oven mitts, blankets, flue pipes etc.

I had that realization too. The amount of uranium was massive compared to the radium.

Have you heard the story of the radium girls?

Yeah, I guess I'll be reducing wearing my old G-Shock 😅 Turns out the watch with the actual radium was long gone, iirc granddad quickly got rid of it after we bought a geiger c. and noticed radiation coming from the box where the watch rests.

Today i found this crazy thing it called a demon core look what it does if i put a brick on top of it

@@aoki6332 stay in school kid, and give your mom her phone back

Wow

Oh no

*some* 💀💀💀💀💀💀

It's not a lot of radium tbh. Not only that, a vast majority of radium decay is stopped by something as simple as a piece of paper. Wouldn't be too worried. A piece of glass/acrylic that watches used to be made with prior to artificial sapphire glass, and the multiple metal pieces of watch movement it used to be a part of would have been enough. The real problem is the hands are now separated from that vessel and are basically concentrated in one area, hence the spike. Just a little education on that, too: some professional series watches from companies like Ball and Marathon have hands that still have radioactive material in them (now they switched to tritium tubes, though).

Ever heard of plutonium😊

I came here to say this, most got cancer and died really young

There ate a few documentaries on RU-vid about it.

I was forced to watch that movie in school by my teacher

Radiation causes rapid cell division.

@@yuxian20 damn. Nice mike wazowskis you got there, sir 😳⁉️

Since it's alpha radiation most of it gets stopped by the watch itself and the rest by a skin layer of dead cells so it's not that dangerous

HAHA

HAHA

Thus reimagining the line, "Time to die."

Radiation sickness is not that fast

It's radioaction time

Also, paint it with lead paint and fill it with CFCs!

radiation only affects people and has almost no ill effects on the environment. In fact its better for the environment to irradiate an area than it is to let people just walk around being humans. That's pretty fucked up.

@@infernaldaedra I'm not gonna "Google" this but I'm sure it's not too good for animals either. 💥🐈👈👎👎

@@castleanthrax1833 You're correct, though I think the point is more about what a lack of humans does to the local ecosystem. Chernobyl and the fishing exclusion zone of the deepwater horizon spill demonstrate this. Both of these have also had a lot of negative impacts on the environment, though. It's really interesting to read about exactly what the ecological impacts have been for things like this.

@@ronandevlin1479 Sorry to disagree with you but my comment was disagreeing with the statement about radiation only affecting people. I was pointing out that radiation hurts animals, as well as humans. My comment had nothing to do with people vacating an area.
