the leftovers of a nuclear explosion are very radioactive and dangerous

Achtually, most Uranium is uranium-238, which is mostly stable. People use it in glass and decorations and it causes them to glow in blacklight. It's safe as long as you aren't in daily constant contact with it or eat it.
Uranium-235 is less stable, but makes up less than 1% of Uranium on Earth. The quantity in natural uranium isn't much riskier unless you're exposed to enriched uranium which has more Uranium-235.
The byproducts of a chain reaction of U-235 fission are what cause most of the dangerous radiation. Which is to say, the leftovers of a nuclear explosion are very radioactive and dangerous, but natural uranium before exploding is mostly safe and it won't explode unless you enrich it and set up the correct conditions.
Tbf, uranium is intensely toxic even if it's not very radioactive. Shit's like turbo lead, it's a crazy heavy metal.

I was being facetious lol

So you're telling me that dwarfs are immune to a thrown brick?
lower centre of gravity, less chance of toppling over

Everyone has a plan until they get hit by a rock.
What if your plan includes getting hit with a rock

"Turbo lead", I love it! That means we can use it to make turbo sweeteners, right?

Idunno, a lot of those chunks would be too cold to throw in solid form..
watches as some of the world's foremost engineers and chemists collaborate on a billion dollar project to build a machine that creates solid helium and then chucks it at random passersby
Napkin math plan: a really big fucking laser. Use aforementioned big fucking laser to generate optical vortices; with the specific intent of creating a brief localized vaccuum state along the desired trajectory. This will require R&D during building. Concept is similar to how lightning works; "ionize" (or in this case, vaccumize?) a path, then send the payload. From there add in whatever condenser you need to generate solid forms of the substance you want to chuck and some kind of mag lev style launch rails to accelerate it into the vaccuum path. Theoretically if you can create an effective enough vaccuum along the trajectory, you shouldn't have to worry about the payload being affected by drag heating in transit.
Possible? Probably not. Would the government give general atomics a few billion to try anyway? Probably

But what I need to know: which stone can people turn gay or trans?

Then their plan is complete

No but it just includes it, as part of it, not as the ultimate part

Wasn’t there a storyline where Lex Luthor got terminal cancer from wearing a kryptonite ring all the time?

To a giant, that's a pebble.

You want to fall over. The more energy goes into moving you, the less energy goes into destroying you.

That was also in the Bruce Timm animated series. The first crossover with Joker teaming up with Lex where he stole a "Jade" dragon statue that supposedly killed it's owners with a curse was actually made of Kryptonite and later in Justice League Unlimited had Lex diagnosed with cancer I think. Kryptonite has always been hazardous to humans.

Throw 'em fast enough, they won't have time to melt.

Let me hit you in the head with a 5kg chunk of U-238 and then tell me it's safe.

Yeah, they even show a periodic table. On that row, Uranium is just about the safest "rock".
It's even mostly lickable.

They better have some paper with them, or they're beat.
