it'd be kind of neat to get a tungsten one actually. tungsten is remarkably dense, significantly more so than lead, slightly more even than gold. It's probably the densest metal we could reasonably expect to own a decent-sized sample of; rhenium, platinum, osmium, and iridium are all precious metals, and americium and uranium are radioactive.

yeah we just looked it up and it's uh. Osmium costs $935/oz from the only supplier we could find that actually listed a price

okay why the fuck is this person selling "edible precious metals"

I mean sure you can eat them but that's kind of uh. why?

oh apparently they are trying to claim that these "orbitally rearranged monatomic elements" are some kind of magic medicine and also a required micronutrient and uh. no?

the sad thing is, people probably fall for this

okay they're claiming it literally makes you psychic what

this is... quite a thing

also the formatting of this ebay listing just reminds me of time cube, with varying font size and colors all over the place and somewhat broken english and

I really can't say anything more than just "this is quite a thing"

also I find it amusing they seem to be claiming that these are monatomic. metals are not monatomic until you vaporize them and you don't want to be ingesting vaporized metals for quite a wide variety of reasons
