no, after I put on my stretchy purple shorts


and thanks guys

i'm still gonna plan on upgrading to an LCD ASAP lol


and for those wondering, I threw it because of my sister IIRC, it was a while back (RE 1-2 years)

I'm not even 18, so yeah, do the math.

well (a-level physics here), a crt monitor is basically a load of electrons being deflected in a controlled way to trace the picture on the screen

electrons = beta particles = a type of radiation

however, they don't penetrate very far and are stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium, and probably a thin sheet of plastic
so basically as long as none of the holes in the casing are pointing towards you, and you haven't messed up the alignement of the electron gun so that the electrons go towards your face. If you have done either of those, go to the doctor, you're fucked

tl;dr as long as theres no big holes you're fine
Beta radiation isn't dangerous tbh. Now, if it was gamma radiation it would be time to panic.
betas cannot penetrate far and cannot go far right?

Wear outfits made of lead and I'm sure you'll be fine.
