Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

Yeah this makes no fucking sense, it would be stupidly unnecessarily expensive and also mechanically inferior to make all those parts out of silver.
Its almost certainly mid to low grade carbon or stainless steel.
It wouldn't even make sense to use aluminum... its considerably more expensive than most (all?) steel, and is generally only used when it is critical to maintain strength but also dramatically cut down on weight.... aircraft, cars, etc.
And of course silver is even more expensive than aluminum and steel.
... Whoever posted this could fairly easily just do a weight vs volume displacement, if they have good scales.
Silver ~= 10.5 g/cm3
Aluminum ~= 2.7 g/cm3
Steel ~= 7.9 g/cm3
... There could be silver in the circuit board, chips, contacts, something like that... but it not gonna be in ... load bearing components... silver is a very soft metal... smdh
It's electrical componentry, so conductivity and corrosion are a concern. Differential thermal expansion can also be an issue.
The lugs are aluminium.
The split bolts are copper or brass, tin plated for better corrosion resistance.
