Enourmo posted:The issue with that is most metals are glowing bright yellow by the time they melt, and most youtuber cameras can't pick up any detail from it (hell, pro film cameras probably have issues). Basically it's weird that we have the internet and all this video tech and there isn't some website where you can just go "I wonder what <element> looks like in <state>". Solid, liquid, gas, on fire, molten, etc.

Cadmium is another heavy metal that acts as an estrogen. As with uranium the other effects are more dangerous. Just recently they pulled some children's jewelry from a major retailer that was nearly 99% cadmium (it's cheap and shiny - this is not the first time this has happened). Estrogen receptors in general are much less specific than most other receptors. If it has an aromatic ring that sticks out a bit there's a decent chance it activates estrogen receptors, but even that's not necessary under some circumstances.

Rigged Death Trap posted:Barley, wheat and oats all have phytoestrogens. Alcohol induces aromatase, which is an enzyme that takes androgens and turns them into estrogen. It's not a large effect in moderate drinkers but far larger than phytoestrogens. No escaping the boob hormone with any alcohol.

Interesting when some horribly toxic compound has chemical properties that would be extremely useful, if not for the "but then you would die" part. After reading about heliox and narcosis, and how even noble gasses become increasingly narcotic as you go down the periodic table, to the point where xenon is narcotic enough to be a useful but prohibitively expensive surgical anesthetic. So I mentioned it to an anesthesiologist once, and asked if radon would theoretically be an even better anesthetic if it wasn't radioactive, but he was too horrified by the thought of it to come up with an answer. (afaik the answer is "yes but why the gently caress would you even come up with that question?" so maybe he was probably just being polite).

I'll try and track it down but somewhere in PIHKAL I believe Shulgin mentions how you could continue incrementing the 2C-x series of drugs into the radioactive elements.

It is actually seeing use for that, because with the right recovery equipment it's not prohibitively expensive anymore. And it's such a potent anaesthetic that you can give plenty of oxygen along with it, which makes everyone happy. If it weren't for the expense it would be damned near perfect at that task.

Ablative posted:everything burns in a fluorine-rich environment WRONG A BUNCH OF THINGS DONT They're all noble gases, and fully fluorinated compounds though Talking of violent fluorination: Krypton Difluoride! Because when things are tacked on to a noble gas, the gas becomes absolutely barking insane and tries to throw it's new houseguests into any oncomers without prejudice and with maximum force. quote:Krypton difluoride is primarily a powerful oxidising and fluorinating agent: for example, it can oxidise gold to its highest-known oxidation state, +5. It is more powerful even than elemental fluorine due to the reduced bond F-F to Kr-F with redox potential of 3.5, making it the most powerful known oxidising agent, though KrF4 could be even stronger Rigged Death Trap has a new favorite as of 02:39 on Apr 7, 2016 |

SneakyFrog posted:baller metals. Iridium is even baller-er than that. Ir has no known mechanism of hydrothermal transport, even in the most acidic, sulphurous environments known. This is one of the reasons we're able to see the K-Pg boundary so well from its Ir signature; even through 65 million years of rework, the Ir has remained intact. Don't see your scrub-tier Os doing anything like that, it can't even survive slab devolatilisation.
