Amazon is the go-to destination for electronics, snacks, clothes, and so much more. But there’s a dark side of Amazon—an oft unvisited zone, where uranium, fire ants, wooden cabins, and UFO detectors all come with free shipping.
We’re going to take you into that zone, and you might even come out with a few purchases. Here are 14 things you didn’t know you could buy on Amazon.
Unrefined Uranium Oxide
If you haven’t added unrefined uranium oxide to your Amazon wishlist or wedding registry, then clearly, you have no idea what you’re doing! It emits ionizing radiation and causes Geiger counters to scream in agony. And despite what anyone else might tell you, this guy on Yahoo Answers says you can own uranium without a license.
Sadly, Amazon doesn’t sell enriched uranium or plutonium. But hey—maybe someday!
Rare earth uranium oxide, high grade unrefined uranium ore uraninite, for Geiger counter & radiation detector test source!
This unrefined uranium oxide is the perfect conversation piece. Sure, it’s radioactive, but it’s also super neat.

Why does Lou-Wheeze expose her lungs? Well, she’s an inanimate educational resource you can use to teach your kids (or yourself, or your parents) what happens when you only inhale smoke through one nostril (you end up with one really crappy lung).
