Uranium glass raises a dinnerware question on JaDropping Science
The channel's only new upload asks how dangerous the glass really is, and viewers have plenty of bowl jokes ready.

Is this Uranium glass actually dangerous? (Not Really)
A radioactive bowl is an unusually good invitation for a comment section to get silly. JaDropping Science's "Is this Uranium glass actually dangerous? (Not Really)" drew roughly 234,000 views, with viewers turning the distinction between owning a bowl and using it into a running joke. Several take the absurdity further by proposing to eat the bowl itself; another describes keeping keys in a uranium-glass dish.
The title gives away the broad answer, but the subject fits the channel's knack for finding a science question inside an ordinary object. Its creator describes being a mechanical engineering graduate who mixes educational experiments with comedy. Glassware belongs comfortably in a catalog that has already tested ice hammers and explored the remarkable strength of Prince Rupert's drops.
This was the sole new upload, while the wider library added about 5.7 million views. Daily viewing is close to its usual level, and the subscriber count finished the week unchanged. Among nearby science channels, Dr Ben Miles had a substantial week of growth, while Captain Disillusion and NightHawkInLight had quieter viewing weeks.
The strongest daily momentum here belongs to "Never let this happen to you again...", followed by "Is this boiling water hot? (No!)". Both are drawing considerably more daily views than the new glassware upload. An explicitly labeled MetMo Eddy ad also remains among the channel's busiest uploads, giving the active catalog a mix of curious questions and engineering gadgets.
