Isn’t one of the most common rules in news communities that the title must be exactly the same as the title of the article? That’s why this happens to you. News sources don’t always say “oh, yeah, this is just for the US, BTW.” In their headlines.
What? No. The Leidenfrost effect would apply. You could pour a few milliliters of liquid helium over your tongue and it would boil on contact. You just need to make sure to minimize total contact time.
The oxide layer forms within seconds, like aluminium and sodium (the two elements surrounding it), and even if you scraped it off and stuck it on your tongue, it isn’t going to react quickly enough to do you any damage. It will probably taste slightly bitter, like licking baking soda. I have some downstairs. Shall I test it and take a video of the results?
This is similar to Michael’s solution to it in The Good Place. If you haven’t watched it, it’s basically a Moral Philosophy course, with hilarious and beautiful examples. Also with giant, flying cocktail shrimp.
I’m glad someone listened to me a couple years back. The first comment I ever made on Lemmy was on the original version of this, pointing out that Magnesium was DEFINITELY fine to lick.
Where?!
Also, not really a project. It takes less than three minutes
That depends on how deep you go into the meaning. The whole point of Earendil’s story is that people are so immature, fractious and self-sabotaging that they couldn’t be trusted to just appreciate the god-given light of the heavens. When self-serving industrialists (Melkor) destroyed the beautiful harmony of Earth (the great trees), the last holders of that ancient power (the Noldor) selfishly refused to share it with the rest of the world, saying that they should be the only ones to inherit the light of life because they gained it through generational wealth. Eventually, the light of the heavens had to be split apart and placed so far out of reach that none could ever take them again for themselves. Earendil shines as an eternal testament to the inclination toward that hubris, selfishness and determination to fuck over everything you cannot own for everyone else so that what you do own becomes more valuable.
Perhaps corpocrat fuckwits should just stop insulting Tolkien’s memory?

Since they are no longer sold AFAIK, and there are too many people lacking astrojax:
The original idea for astrojax was developed when the physics student tied hexnuts to each end of a string, then strung one nut loose on the string between them. There is nothing stopping you from doing this. It’s the same sort of fun, just slightly less padded than the foam astrojax. If you change the number of nuts strung in the middle to two, you can put a little duct tape around them to make a heavier middle weight, and can also change the number of nuts at the ends by tying them together at the end. Rather than having a nut on both ends, you can attach a keyring to one end and have a yoyo loop to work with for greater grip security.
Founded by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, yes, that Ghislaine Maxwell.
“The only people who disagree with me are neoliberals and fascists”, cried the Dingdong. It does not, of course, perceive that the only matching call in the forest is that of its greatest competitor species, the lowly maggat, with its cries of “The only people who disagree with me are commies and socialists”
Yeah, it was right there: Earendil threw one into a volcano, one into the sea, and took one into the sky. Ringo Starr used James Cameron’s submersible to find the silmaril of the sea. The Silmaril of fire eventually became the Arkenstone after the sundering of Valinor, in the same tectonic activity which sunk Beleriand. The Arkenstone was found in the ancient tomb od Thorin by John Lennon, using a map produced by Tolkien himself, but was then stolen by Ringo Starr. The Silmaril of the sky may seem to still be there, but the glow is actually Voyager I, which Ringo Starr bribed Carl Sagan to lie about. The true Voyager II mission was a sample return to bring back Earendil on his boat. Earendil wasn’t happy about it, but he acquiesced when he heard the sample of modern music on the Golden Record, and heard that people had found an even better strain of Halfling Leaf for him to smoke. Ringo thus claimed the final Silmaril, and became master of the Elf Stones.
Ooh, ooh, can I get a block?! Pick me! Pick me!
Tardigrades don’t have visible eyes like that in the left picture. That’s some ai-generated slop image of a demodex mite.
It’s the W-class Mnestic agent in the mushroom.
Ah, yes, “everything I dislike is capitalism”, mixed with a bit of “everything I dislike is liberalism”. I think I have what response I’m likely to get from the mod, and if that’s what this community is now, I’ll just leave you to your poorly-delineated verbiage and parroted quotes without context. Good day.
Oh, I don’t disagree with you, just giving the actual reason why these are all worded like the US is all that exists.
