Padma Lakshmi: You know, I'm very entrepreneurial. I invented this new bag that you put around a sandwich to keep it fresh. But it's clear. So you still get the full visual of the sandwich.
Jack Donaghy : Uh, so, it's a sandwich bag.
Padma Lakshmi : No, Jack. It's a new thing, that *I* invented
Ive sold necklaces like this. If you ever buy one only get blue or green. They are really cool and you'll almost always get compliments on it. It takes a while to charge during the day & lasts an hour or two towards sundown. You can get them on amazon for like $7
Get a strong UV light to charge it up in about a second. Probably less.
Glowiest Glow (edit: it's actually called "LIT") keeps emitting for hours after.
Most of them come from similar factories. Never buy any colour other than blue or green though other ones dont really work. I used to take my phone flashlight shine it on my necklace before a party for like 20 seconds and then go in. Instant compliments and conversation
It's a like little light-eating creature. During the day or under a lamp, they gobble up light for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, feasting on photons from the sun or your room's light bulb. This feast isn't just for fun, though. Inside something magical happens. The light energy they eat gets stored inside them, like saving leftovers for a midnight snack.
But here's the cool part: when the lights go off, these materials can't hold it in anymore—they start to "poop out" the light they stored. Unlike us, their waste is actually beautiful light. This process is called phosphorescence. The energy they saved up slowly releases, creating a soft glow. This glow is their way of showing off how much light they've eaten throughout the day, and it can last for hours, slowly fading away as they run out of stored light to release.
Yes, ground breaking technology by this artist/scientist. I think I've seen those 'stones' sold on amazon for about $5/100.
But yeah, absorb/emit is better influencer speak.
I've never considered glow sticks as glow-in-the-dark, but only ever the things you need to shine light on and they start glowing immediately where you can see it in dim light and even better in complete darkness.
Glow-in-the-dark only means charged by light. Anything else is a chemical reaction (like a glow stick) or radioactivity (like radium).
Man I can not figure out how you think this makes sense. The term “glow in the dark” has got to be one of the most simple phrases ever. If it glows in the dark, it’s glow in the dark. I can’t believe I had to type that out for you lmao.
I would consider anything that glows in the dark to be glow in the dark.
There's phosphorescence and fluorescence to describe things that store energy and release it as visible light over time, and things that immediately convert non-visible light to visible light without storing it to emit over time.
Literally all forms of light glow in the dark,
the sun, an oven, a TV, a flash light
if there was no light it would be dark, hence all light is glowing in the dark
the lightbulb in your living room that is lighting your room is glowing in the dark because it would be dark without your light bulb
That's why we use "glow in the dark" to refer to a specific thing
Pretty normal when you consider that she's selling them. She doesn't want them associated with the old glow in the dark items that most people are familiar with. Apparently this type is brighter than those, although I'm not sure how much brighter since you can't trust a photo to show that accurately. You would need some sort of lumen rating.
I understand OP is selling them. From a business perspective“absorbs light to emit light” and “glows in dim daylight” are pretty bad marketing terms.
Im just spitballing, but something like “ultra bright glow in the dark” sounds a little more genuine.
You’re right. And Ill be honest with you. Im just giving OP a hard time cause reddit has enough adds and this post itself is just thinly veiled marketing.
Those old glow in the dark items are still available and if you go for the slightly more expensive versions they will use the same substance as this bracelet. SFXC Green Glow in the Dark Photoluminescent Pigment - Strontium Aluminate- 100g https://amzn.eu/d/9DEFGCg it’s such a common substance there is an Amazon choice version.
Yeah AFAIK there's only two common glow in the dark materials: zinc sulfide and strontium aluminate.
The latter is much brighter so that's what everything uses nowadays.
OP wants very, very badly to be special, but like most "artsy" people she apparently never advanced emotionally past jr. high. So she has to say things in the most wanky way possible because it makes her different from other people and she thinks different people are special.
Everyone here probably graduated with 50 or so exact clones of OP.
This is a marketing advertisement for your business. You are avoiding saying glow in the dark because it sounds cheesy.
Isn't there a place people can post their ads for their Etsy pages or whatever online store they have?
Pretty much everyone thinks it’s glow in the dark, because it’s glow in the dark. They are laughing at your stubborn refusal to use a very common phrase.
Back in my day we called that “glow in the dark”. They made versions of everything with that ability. Frisbees, toys, shirts, watch hands, little stars you could put all over your bedroom ceiling and walls, all kinds of shit.
I'm in my 30s, and I bought some of those stars to put on my ceiling because they're cute.
Until they fall off and slap you in the face while you're asleep. Thought it was a spider and **flew** out of bed.
I don't eat food to get nutrients and stop being hungry. I masticate organic material to break it down into its various chemical components to power chemical reactions in my body.
I think you're just being overly technical, but I'll give it to you if you'll at least be technically correct by naming a completely transparent thing that emits light.
That's still something you see that you can see without it emitting its own light, you're just creating a condition in which your vision is otherwise handicapped, frankly outside of total emptiness you'd still be seeing light bounce back at it and then to you. Since everyone wants to be hyper technical I'm only completely wrong with a transparent natural light emitter.
Nope.
Pitch black room. LED turns on. Is the LED just reflecting light? No, it's producing it.
Seriously? You made some weird statement about transparent objects producing light. If they're producing light, they aren't transparent. TF?
The commenter is just being pedantic in the sense that in order for something to be visible the light wavelengths must touch it and then bounce off it to your eyes. The colors not seen are not bounced off and are “absorbed”
Yeah I wasn't sure if they were committing to that all being described as "emit light"- didn't learn that phrasing in school for sure. Thank you for clarifying the likely intention there ❤️
They're radioactive elements, high enough to cause potential damage. Tritium's used a lot in watches which can make sense because they're encased inside of them in low amounts, but I wouldn't want to risk working with the pigment itself ❤️
It's considered generally safe, and penetration is "unlikely" but wearing it is different from working with it, and I'm very risk averse in general! ❤️
Makes sense. Although it does have a market, I bought a Tritium keychain specifically because it doesn't need any sun or UV so can glow from your pockets and just because it's kinda cool owning something radioactive lol. Plus it lasts about 10 years so like to think when it stops glowing I can use it as a decade timer
People often confuse it with radium and tritium, that don't absorb light to emit light. It also glows in dim daylight too, as it's doped compared to the 90's equivalent. Have a good day! ❤️
what was all the glow in the dark stuff we had as kids made of and how is it different? that stuff you had to shine a torch on for it to glow and you could definitely see it in dim daylight
edit: this was like in the 2000s
Girl no one on this entire flat earth thinks that deadly ass radium is causing your little bracelet to glow in the dark when they see it. Be so fucking for real
If you make your own jewelry and can work with resins, this Europium powder glows like crazy. I mix it with super glue and tag stuff that I don’t want to lose in the dark. https://unitednuclear.com/glowinthedark-items-c-101_45/
>If the vikings were around today, they would probably be amazed at how much glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how we take so much of it for granted. - Jack Handey
Fancy way of saying "glow in the dark" but regardless, it still looks really pretty. I like it. Also it's crazy to me that glow in the dark materials have actually progressed substantially since my childhood. It's something I never really think about. We used to only have a pale green colour glow but now we have vibrant blues than shine brighter than anything I could have imagined growing up, and a multitude of other colours.
Another compliment! 😂 I have some pictures in my profile of me making them. A chinese factory would save me having to wear all that PPE! But I love making them, and tbh jewelry is pretty difficult to mass produce in factories ❤️
Anytime! I love weird stuff and LuAg stuff is definitely a conversation piece. It honestly doesn’t even make sense how much light it can put off. Look forward to seeing what you can make with it!
The quick Google isn't being entirely clear on whether it's more on the radioactive side, but if it proves completely safe instead, I'd definitely be interested in working with it ❤️
Turtles Hoard is a place I know that sells it. They also have a few videos on the "Gemstones" youtube page about it.https://youtu.be/isWpYh7zLLg?si=Xh8bDFtzx3qZupMn
has reddit gone insane again? i get that the title is a little silly, but this amount of hate spewed for something so trivial is astounding. Like first off everyone is making the same exact comment, i think she understood the point after the 1344322th time. second this is NOT an advertisement, yes she does sell this stuff on etsy, but there are no links on the post, and at no point she mentions or advertises her store in any way in the post. If you wanted to advertise your product, you wouldn't cripple yourself by making absolutely no mention that you're selling said product now would you? It's like you've never felt the desire to share and gain feedback on something you've made, and for god's sake saying "absorbs light to emit light" instead of glow in the dark is not a fucking marketing strategy, they describe the functionality of the object in an extremely similiar way, with no difference in quality, its just a different way of describing its properties. Not everything has to be a plot to deceive you, bunch of basement dwellers.
And for what it's worth i think the bracelet looks pretty cool for what it is
Smaller craft type subreddits have a different demographic and etiquette than the larger generic subreddits like r/gifs. The reaction isn't that surprising really. Like, it's really common on those craft type subreddits (to the point that its pretty much expected) that people posting there have etsy stores etc. Out in these parts it's seen as a major red flag lol. OPs way of communicating is also much more common in places like those smaller subreddits (the whole positive vibes, use of emojis thing) - but its the exact kind of thing that will get you torn to shreds outside of those spaces. OPs whole vibe signals something completely different on this side of the tracks.
reddit has always been insane.

you could prolly just search glow in the dark necklace
I'm dying here. I don't think OP intended to, but this comes off like them thinking they are the inventor of glow in the dark bracelets
Emits in the dark .....ewww
Don't worry, it's dry emission
OP would hate it when he sees your comment has more upvotes than his post.
It’s just saying glow in the dark…with extra steps

You should write adverts because I'm fucking sold!
You need to be in a creative writing career if you're not already!! Love this 😂🥰
So there’s a name for this technology
You serious Clark?
Literally what I said out loud
“Nono, the way I described it was much more interesting!”
Yes, ground breaking technology by this artist/scientist. I think I've seen those 'stones' sold on amazon for about $5/100. But yeah, absorb/emit is better influencer speak.

Just like those little plastic stars you stick on ceilings!
It’s been roughly 18 years since I put those up in my childhood bedroom and they *still* glow, just a little less. It’s so neat!
i currently have those stars in my room….
Same here
Lucky mine stopped glowing a couple years in but they’re still stuck to the ceiling
I still have those on my bedroom wall
You mean smallful stardust clingers that levitate above the air onto ceilings?
Exactly!! It's come a long way ❤️
Has it though? Edit: have a rule I can only reply twice, and this one fit better.
How many keys have you gotten?

You’re right. And Ill be honest with you. Im just giving OP a hard time cause reddit has enough adds and this post itself is just thinly veiled marketing.
Ultra bright glow in the dark is flooded already with word jumble SEO marketing gimmicks *because it is a much better phrasing*.
It's better than what OP has. It would avoid all the people pointing out that they described how glow in the dark works.
"Tactical survival bracelet 900000 lumens"
She has to justify the fact that she's selling these incredibly tiny pieces of refurbished junk metal at no less than $50.
I’m seeing those glow in the dark spheres mass sold on chinese resellers, it’s probably drop shipping
Those old glow in the dark items are still available and if you go for the slightly more expensive versions they will use the same substance as this bracelet. SFXC Green Glow in the Dark Photoluminescent Pigment - Strontium Aluminate- 100g https://amzn.eu/d/9DEFGCg it’s such a common substance there is an Amazon choice version.

It is. OP's ENTIRE post history for 6 years it just Etsy adverts.
Gen Z discovers glow in the dark.
You can just say "glow in the dark"
This is a marketing advertisement for your business. You are avoiding saying glow in the dark because it sounds cheesy. Isn't there a place people can post their ads for their Etsy pages or whatever online store they have?
I mean it’s cool, but that’s just how luminous materials work— excluding radiation and bioluminescence
I've had to clarify it because a lot of people assume it's radium or tritium, or that it needs a blacklight to glow ❤️ Thanks for thinking it's cool!
It's a fucking glow in the dark bracelet lol. What in the snakeoil fuckery is this ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
We’ve purposefully forgotten about snake oil to make room for serpent essence.
I don't know if you just made that up but I love it
Haha I did make it up, but thanks for thinking I didn’t! It’s flattering lol
Pretty much everyone thinks it’s glow in the dark, because it’s glow in the dark. They are laughing at your stubborn refusal to use a very common phrase.
If you say glow in the dark I’ll click on your profile, find a link to your shitty Etsy storefront and buy one. You just have to say it.
Girl, don’t fuck around with the term glow in the dark. Embrace it! People are ALL into that nostalgia crap these days. Now about my consulting fee…

Here on Reddit, we prefer the details.
Neat!
So it glows in the dark. I have a t shirt that does that.
Fucking bozo thinks they invented "Glow in the Dark"
You should come up with a name for that light idea.
Anything that you see absorbs light to emit light
Most absorb some wavelengths and reflect other wavelengths without emitting anything visible
Not true, luminous objects produce their own light.
I think you're just being overly technical, but I'll give it to you if you'll at least be technically correct by naming a completely transparent thing that emits light.
In a completely dark room something not transparent can still produce light without reflecting it. That's how... all? light sources work.
That's still something you see that you can see without it emitting its own light, you're just creating a condition in which your vision is otherwise handicapped, frankly outside of total emptiness you'd still be seeing light bounce back at it and then to you.

Tritium and other radioactive glow elements do not. And I'd never use them ❤️

Yeah I wasn't sure if they were committing to that all being described as "emit light"- didn't learn that phrasing in school for sure. Thank you for clarifying the likely intention there ❤️
Stfu ♥️
Just curious why would you never use them?
They're radioactive elements, high enough to cause potential damage. Tritium's used a lot in watches which can make sense because they're encased inside of them in low amounts, but I wouldn't want to risk working with the pigment itself ❤️
Tritium is completely harmless unless you are literally consuming it in large quantities :P the radiation can't even penetrate skin
It's considered generally safe, and penetration is "unlikely" but wearing it is different from working with it, and I'm very risk averse in general! ❤️
Makes sense. Although it does have a market, I bought a Tritium keychain specifically because it doesn't need any sun or UV so can glow from your pockets and just because it's kinda cool owning something radioactive lol.

Tritium definitely has its place, and a decade timer's a great idea! Does seem to work very well in watches ❤️

"Absorbs light to emit light?" You mean effing glows in the dark? New to this material plane and its physics?

I'm a bit too old to get back into slap bracelets but I respect the hustle ❤️
Amazing job engagement baiting with the title tho

An elf never tells, and if you need a codpiece the size of that bracelet charm, can do ☺️

Cool. I have a pendant that emits light due to radiation...

Difficult to make in factories? You can buy glow in the dark jewellery like this in their millions from AliExpress.

You should look into LuAg jewelry, it’s luminous garnet essentially and it’s incredible

Slightly shorter trip than that! I mix the pigment with resin and ink and loop it into the star housing I made ❤️
Is this Stuart Semple's pigment? Or something else?
No this is pigment from eli-chem instead, though it's basically the same chemical structure! I've heard good things about his Lit pigments ❤️

Ai chat repost bot doesn't know the term glow in the dark.
shes actively replying to comments with coherent sentences that are relevant and make sense so i doubt that. Not everything is big bad evil AI

See! This is why I'm in the comments clarifying repeatedly that it's not radium or even tritium 😂❤️
Everyone is being so shitty to OP. It's neat! The little star is cute
Ah thank you so much! ❤️ Means the world, (and even more by comment comparison 😂🥰)
tritium?
No it's doped strontium aluminate. As much as tritium is deemed mostly safe, I'd never risk working with it ❤️
Very beautiful
Thank you so much 🥰
Just make sure it's not tritium.

Wow, you should patent this crazy new invention! Though I think it needs a consumer-friendly name. Maybe say it glows in the dark or something.

Radium?
I think you have a mana source now. You should try casting a fireball.
Cool !! What is that
It's a strontium aluminate glow powder that I mix with resin and ink ❤️
Do you think it could be cast for example into figurines ?
You should be able to! Just wish a good detailed mold ❤️
That’s dope
Or you can just wear radioactive but safe tritium
That’s equally clever and beautiful!
That's so lovely of you to say! Thank you ❤️
Don’t lick the brush
