Okay if you think licking lead and uranium is maybe not a good idea then I think you need to reevaluate your decision making skills.

    Lead lolly, yellow lolly

    This is a joke by Tom Scott in one of the best Citation Needed episodes.

    I appreciate what you are trying to share, so this is just me venting.

    I hate you tube!

    Having to sign in is annoying. Having the absolute LIE that it has anything to do with protecting the community is infuriating.

    I try and never use youtube, then I am reminded why. Yes I know how to use the plethora of alternative front ends, but I simply dont want to play the game.

    Technically, Piped is not just a frontend... How about setting up a redirect? I used to provide links to piped.video like the annoying bot but then I realized it's decentralized and everyone using Piped probably has a redirect (or link-handling app) set up to their preferred instance.

    BTW, there's an Internet Archive mirror of the video available as a plain file or in their online player The reference is at 9:57 but the whole thing is worth it.

    The Technical Difficulties team still does stuff together but I think the contestants realized the articles from later, better seasons all come from the Unusual Articles list, spoiling the surprise and ending Citation Needed. Also, Matt has since come out as transgender and accepts any pronouns but doesn't want to talk more about it: no wonder since (s)he's British.

    Thank you, I came here to see if it was at least somewhat safe to lick uranium, I don’t have access to it but if I ever did I wouldve tried because that sounds like a badass story to tell at a bar/party

    The long-lived isotopes of uranium are about as dangerous as lead, actually: heavy metal poisoning is the overwhelming concern. Same as bismuth, which is effectively stable and incorrectly marked "Probably fine".
