My teacup is radioactive, it has a uranium paint from like the 30s

It's also safe to use

So how radioactive is this "Olympic swimming pool" of radioactive water?

Please, don't drink from this teacup. It's really not safe.

You don't even know what my teacup is?

Fair enough. I just got alarmed by your reaction to the video I linked. Take care

To get enough energy from the plate for a single low quality xray image the dude had to wait weeks with the items literally pressed against it

Totally right, it's radiation is very low. And he wouldn't eat from it.
