copper sulfate crystals are so pretty, it's too bad you can't make jewelry out of them (CuSO₄ is water-soluble)

Zeolite!

enzymes, how do they work

*drinks a glass of liquid oxygen*

*watching a youtube video that includes screen-capture footage*
*sees a giant cursor in the video*
*thinks "woah, how'd they do that, and why"*
*realizes that it's my cursor on top of the video*
*"oh"*

the internet of why is this 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

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"

okay they're claiming it literally makes you psychic what

this is... quite a thing

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

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

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

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.

oh, this is neat! you can get little 10mm cubes of various metals: https://www.amazon.com/Vanadium-Metal-10mm-Density-99-95/dp/B071J61M2C

vanadium!

As much as I'm glad McCain isn't going to be polluting politics anymore... I can't bring myself to be happy that someone passed away.

I'm still convinced Venera 13 must have had some sort of witchcraft involved in its creation, to survive as long as it did.
