Or get them a Tungsten cube. Every man wants a Tungsten cube.
bismuth plz
Am man. Didn't realise before that I wanted a tungsten cube. Now I want one.
fuck. A cube shaped hole just appeared in my life.
Wombat turds are cube-shaped
Are they made of tungsten?
If you would feed a wombat tungsten powder...
Am man, can confirm.
They're absurdly overpriced, but I wonder how quickly you'd make your money back if you bought a big one and had men pay a fee to mess with it for a few minutes.
This sounds more sexual than I think you intended.
It's reverse Excalibur. If you can get your sword into the cube, you become king.
It is imperative that the sword remains unharmed.
~tiny dopamine thrill for understanding that reference~
new role play with the partner invented. Fediverse exclusive
It's heavy, so they might get fatigued faster than they'd expect.
Use both hands!
This tungsten cube cured my mortality. I, in my exalted wisdom and unbridled ambition, bought this cube to become fully accustomed to the intensity of its density, to make its weight bearable and in fact normal to me, so that all the world around me may fade into a fluffy arena of gravitational inconsequence. And it has worked, to profound success. I have carried the tungsten with me, have grown attached to the downward pull of its small form, its desire to be one with the floor. This force has become so normal to me that lifting any other object now feels like lifting cotton candy, or a fluffy pillow. Big burly manly men who pump iron now seem to me as little children who raise mere aluminum.
I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten. How distant those days seem now, how burdened by the apparent heaviness of everyday objects. I laugh at the philistines who still operate in a world devoid of tungsten, their shoulders thin and unempowered by the experience of bearing tungsten. Ha, what fools, blissful in their ignorance, anesthetized by their lack of meaningful struggle, devoid of passion.
Nietzsche once said that a man who has a why can bear almost any how. But a man who has a tungsten cube can bear any object less dense, and all this talk of why and how becomes unnecessary.
Schopenhauer once said that every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. Tungsten expands the limits of a man’s field of vision by showing him an example of increased density, in comparison to which the everyday objects to which he was formerly accustomed gain a light and airy quality. Who can lament the tragedy of life, when surrounded by such lightweight objects? Who can cry in a world of styrofoam and cushions?
Have you yet understood? This is no ordinary metal. In this metal is the alchemical potential to transform your world, by transforming your expectations. Those who have not yet held the cube in their hands and mouths will not understand, for they still live in a world of normal density, like Plato’s cave dwellers. Those who have opened their mind to the density of tungsten will shift their expectations of weight and density accordingly.
To give this cube a rating of anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself. Who am I, as a mere mortal, to judge the most compact of all affordable materials? No. I say gratefully to whichever grand being may have created this universe: good job on the tungsten.
It sure is dense. I sit here with my tungsten cube, transcendent above death itself. For insofar as this tungsten cube will last forever, I am in the presence of immortality.
I once had to spend a night holding an Aluminium cube. The vendor suggested we all go out and club it. I had no option. It was that or go with wood. I figured it’d be safer with the metals.
For the first time ever I saw the lesser metals in their natural habitat, and it weren’t pretty. I’d seen them clustered at exhibits before, being proud but… this time I was surrounded.
Everywhere I went it felt like they were watching me; fish-white sheen puckered by the rusted light; tight forms peering out for fresh meat; screechy, booze-soaked surfaces hollering out for a hand to take ’em halfway up the road to the next all-night watering hole. A shatter of glass; a round of applause; a sixteen-year-old mother of three vomiting in an open sewer, bairns looking on, chewing on potato cakes. I ain’t never going back to holding Aluminium… not never.
Brilliant, thank you
That's true, am man, want this.
True, I have a tungsten cube! It's a small one, and I have never had an object get lost in the couch more easily. Sinks right to the bottom.
William Osman made the tungsten cube so expensive. It was like $2k when he did his video wrecking shit with it. Now they're asking $10k for the 3 inch cube.
I respect the hustle, but damn.
Still, the 1 cm model is like $50 and would still be absurdly heavy for its size, even if it only weighs 19¼ grams.
Might be worth it to find yourself a bunch of old incandescent lightbulbs and get the filaments out instead.
That would be cool... And heavy too.
Heavy and hard!
I would love a tungsten cube and I want think sheets of titanium so I can burn them because turns out titanium burns
The sheer number of flammable metals out there is a little scary lol It's not that many, but it's more than most people realize.
Living in an oxygen-rich environment has its drawbacks lol
I'm certain that all metals are flammable if you try hard enough, because all it takes is oxidation. Quite a number of them can burn in a self-sustaining manner in terrestrial conditions, though, mostly provided if and only if you manage to have enough surface area of the stuff available in one place. Powdering them usually works for that. Or, if you'd like to watch some iron burn, a fun science fact is that you can light a wad of regular old steel wool like the kind you'd buy at the grocery store as if it were a cotton ball. The finer sized the better, and you should probably also do this outside.
My admittedly not great understanding of it was along the lines of some metals are too good at conducting heat and would basically put their own fires out in most circumstances. I do not know if that is correct
Maybe, but I can tell you that copper's thermal conductivity is better than e.g. gold, and copper can absolutely burn in open air if the particle sizes are small enough. Aluminum will too, of course.
I'm not about to try it with my meager supply of gold. The stuff is damned expensive at the moment.
Everything will burn given enough oxidizer and heat!
And an ignition source! Need all four to burn. Fuel, oxidizer, heat, and ignition.
Is ozone just oxidized oxygen? Hmm.

I want one.
You know how to man, man.
