Too bad aluminum will oxides and cause black stains on the bed sheets
- ArcaneSlime ( @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•7 months ago
Just blacken the aluminum.
And the sheets.

Not super loud actually, but it will definitely be noisy if you’re moving around

Thank you for spelling aluminium correctly.

In the original book it was written as aluminum, the British publisher, got it wrong and the country has been saying it wrong ever since.
- crispy_kilt ( @crispy_kilt@feddit.de ) 2•7 months ago
the country has been saying it wrong ever since
If by country you mean the USA (and its northern colony). Literally everyone else in every language that matters spells it aluminium.
Also, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element.

nice work, but the guys got some pretty stupid ideas on what ‘a man’ is
- idiomaddict ( @idiomaddict@feddit.de ) 26•7 months ago
-
pursues his own interest, even if it seems weird to others.
-
brings an idea he cares about from germ to product, even though it’s a lot of work
It’s not so bad!
- Turun ( @Turun@feddit.de ) 8•7 months ago
Yes, but are those two points gender specific?
- idiomaddict ( @idiomaddict@feddit.de ) 6•7 months ago
I don’t think so, but our ideas of gender are individual- maybe that makes the perfect man for this guy and the perfect woman is decisive and well informed.
Because of my dad and husband, I have an association between manliness and home cooking, which is probably not super common, but it’s still definitely there in my head.

What is a man?
- originalucifer ( @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com ) 12•7 months ago
apparently; a human who likes being weighted down with chainmail
- Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English5•7 months ago
Given the chance to be weighted down with chainmail, do you feel like most men would enjoy or not enjoy it?
- originalucifer ( @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com ) 4•7 months ago
i guess i would ask why only men would enjoy it, and, ya know, not all humans. why even bring gender it to it? its silly
like the person who brings a chicken to a knife fight. i guess its technically possible, but why would ya?
- Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English7•7 months ago
I think maybe we’re overthinking it. Maybe BeefyGorilla just really likes chainmail, and it makes him feel masculine, which feels good to him. And that’s okay.
- idiomaddict ( @idiomaddict@feddit.de ) 1•7 months ago
I think this was his intent, especially because it looks like beefygorilla was commenting on someone else’s post

Isn’t tungsten kind of brittle? And radioactive?
- Bandicoot_Academic ( @Bandicoot_Academic@lemmy.one ) 4•7 months ago
The brittlenes apparently depends on the form it takes (polycrystalline or single-crystalline). And while there are some radioactive isotopes of tungsten most of them are synthetic and only made in a lab. The vast majority of the tungsten found on earth is stable.

Aren’t weighted blankets most used by autistic people?
I think they are mostly used by people who feel more comfortable using a weighted blanket.
