Alongside an excuse-me-what?

I bought it for a friend. And it was labeled as "bio energy" on AliExpress.

if you value your and your friends' health, pls stop that esoteric bs

Don't worry, I sold it off. And we both knew it was loaded with Thorium. Easiest $5 made.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They gotta be messing with us, a quick search says it's some sort of "5G/EMF protection" thing. That's the most ironic scam I've ever seen. Protect yourself from harmless non ionizing radiation by wearing harmful ionizing radiation. Thorium is weak, but damn that's funny.

Also worth noting that sometimes people just like jewelry made with weird and neat rocks.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

This is harmful radioactive jewelry rather than weird and neat rocks. People can and should do what they want, but it's absolutely insane and ironic that you can buy radioactive wear-on-your-body jewelry that's sold as good for you rather than a disclaimer that you literally should not wear it, because it's actually poison.

But I mean, if you want to wear literal poison, I raise my glass of bleach to you.

Actual radioactivity matters quite a bit as to how safe it is, and that’s dependent quite a bit on the actual amount and thorium density of the specific item in question. From Tokaimura to a banana levels of radiation covers quite a large range, and I in good faith assumed that if someone was going out of their way to find and mention thorium on Unix socks of all places it was probably a pretty safe assumption that they know the basics and could check where on that spectrum the item falls, that it’s an excuse to play with a detector is most of the fun after all.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

It seems you were absolutely correct in this case, too. I have to admit my mistaken assumption. Good intuition on your part.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Luckily, I didn't buy it to wear. And I can confirm it's not a "cool rock".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In that case, does it do anything neat under a UV flashlight if you happen to have one?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Don't have one.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

radioactive necklace… to protect from 5g or something dumb

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Some of them use bismuth, which is as weakly radioactive as it gets, but why? It's still a heavy metal and might be poisonous if parts of it shed off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

people conflate ionizing radiation with radio waves and then sell garbage to people that don’t understand it so they can make money.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

bismuth is not toxic in reasonable amounts. One serving of Pepto Bismol has half a gram of it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Exactly. "Bio energy".
