This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Aluminum has always been my favorite element and metal. I feel the urge to punch this anon in his aluminum-hating fuckface.

aluminum actually corrodes quicker, but it oxidizes to a layer of aluminum oxide that seals out air and water, whereas iron has a permeable oxide that lets air and water get to the iron under the oxide. So in practice it doesn't rust nearly as fast as iron

Counterpoint for iron, stainless steal. Or 1014L (the L stands for lead) its .14% carbon and the lead makes it more dense and resistent to rust

Someone took my stainless steal, but at least they cleaned up after themselves

Stainless steel has been around only 110 years. Imagine not having it. Crazy.

Everyone knows magnesium is the superior metal.

The World Wide Web was born in one of these!

Al i want yo know is how is it prnounced. Is the last i silent?

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago (8 children)

There is one i in Aluminum. It is not silent.

All the other elements use an i before the u. At some point we should fix the spelling: Helum, Sodum, Plutonum, etc
