on a similar note— here is one of the little guys I keep at the sanctuary! his name is Nibbles and he’s a piece of uranium ore fair warning, the picture is a bit dark, since he gets spooked by lights.

I think they count as hazard objects? Either they are, I can't really ask it in any other blogs.

I like to works with caves and quarries of various sort, and, you know, they're some... Quite not safe minerals out there, so, if object is this kind of mineral, would they be as dangerous for human approach, as they're non-living counterparts?

Like, I don't want to stumble upon cinnabar or curite, even with legs and hands, knowing it can just poison me with a little touch.

absolutely! while mineral objects in general are pretty rare, if you happen to stumble across an unfamiliar mineral object in a cave, it’s best to steer clear— especially if they look like a toxic material.

If theoretically I had a black hole in my possession would that be considered a hazard even if he’s a very good boy? Asking for a friend.

i HOPE this is theoretical because good lord WHAT ???

yeah. black holes are typically considered a category 2 dangerous object. how dangerous they are varies based on the strength of their gravitational pull. seeing how your friend is still alive i’d guess that the pull of it is weaker. still a very dangerous object, even if he’s the goodest boy in the world.

hi! my name is unimportant, but yall can refer to me as OH / OBJECTHAZARD mod! (he/him.)

i am a certified Dangerous Object Specialist and keeper with a specialization in explosive objects! i made this blog to share facts and info about an often demonized type of objectkind! expect info posts, answering asks and silly photos of the objects I keep.

For information on what exactly constitutes a dangerous object, see here!

ooc)) this is an unreality blog, based off of accounts like @objecthusbandry and @objectbiologist ! go give them a follow!

blog canon can be found here!

What is a Dangerous Object?

Well, as objects are living, breathing creatures, they all can pose a threat if not handled responsibly!

However, capital-letter Dangerous Objects (DOs) are catalogued by the International Board of Objectkeeping Safety (IBOS) as “Objects that pose significant danger to humans.” These objects often require some sort of certification/permit to keep.

DOs will fall into 1 or more of 5 categories. These labels can be given or taken away depending on circumstances changing.

Category 1 - AGRESSIVE-TYPE: Self explanatory— agressive objects. Tends to be reserved for objects that can cause serious/lethal harm. (So your tiny pencil with a biting habit will most likely NOT be Category 1.)

Category 2 - PROXIMAL TYPE: Objects that cause harm by in proximity to them. For example, radioactive objects or ones that give out poisonous spores.

Category 3 - TACTILE TYPE: Objects that cause harm by touching them. This harm has to be grievous and/or immediately lethal. Objects with small/midsized open flames will not fall into this category.

Category 4 - EXPLOSIVE TYPE: Self explanitory— also my specialty! Objects that are able to self-combust/explode! (Note, this does not include objects that are not able to self combust, but do explode upon injury, like pressurized gas containers or aerosols.)

It’s important to note that dangerous objects are not inherently malicious or bad, and with the right precautions, they can be kept safely.
