I'd say "Australian radioactive capsule" but they already found that.

Mori :blobcatenby:

@tubetime If you put your face real close to it does it say drop and run by any chance?

Tube❄️Time

@morifi no but I have a funny rash now. maybe it's made of nickel

@tubetime Probably shitpost, but in any case the PSA still stands: If an object inexplicably feels warm to the touch, don't touch it and don't stay near it.

Report its presence as well.

@tubetime Don't worry about that. I think you should wash your hands, if you still have them

@tubetime Gosh, those little white dots on the photo are interesting. Hmmm.

@tubetime It's a magic pill, quick, swallow it!!

@tubetime Just a depleted uranium wheel balance weight that has come loose.

Earth Notes

@tubetime Put it down and walk at least 10m away! B^>

@tubetime Oh, those are bad. You need to toss that into the trash or your local storm drain real fast.

PS: the rad noise on the sensor was *chef's kiss*

@tubetime I've seen others posting this, but I assume you're the originator. It's perfectly executed.

Tube❄️Time

@forelioned nice guess, that's actually what it is lol

Seth Kerr

@tubetime that lost nuclear pellet from Australia?

David Herzog

@tubetime Probably a part of a cylindrical roller bearing.

Lexi of the Night

@tubetime if it's simply hollow it's probably some sort of spacer?

lopta

@tubetime Sort of hoping it doesn't say "DROP AND RUN".

Mike Spooner

@tubetime As it's you, probably an unmarked electrolytic capacitor.

Marten Electric

@tubetime No clue, but here in the UK the choice of weapon are the bloody wood screws.
