A-lu-min-i-um
Pronounced aluminyum
Halloumi, yummy.
People always argue that -num isn’t a legitimate way for the name of an element to end, but I never see you guys talking about Platinium.
All words are made up and language isn’t real
Then we also need to talk about Sodum, Potassum, Magnesum, Plutonum, Uranum, Cadmum, Chromum, Titanum and a bunch more. Why should Aluminum be the outlier?
Always been more of an iridium man myself
Are you dense?
Not as bad as those osmium-heads, plus we’ve got sparkle and color!
I’ll take osmium-heads over degenerates any day.
I just spent 4 hours renaming every instance of “aluminum” into “aluminium” in a bunch of inventor projects. >.>
Wait, wasn’t sh.itjust.works defederated from hexbear? Why can I see your comment?
It appears that you are posting from a shitjustworks instance
Yup, the commenter is from hexbear.net and I thought the users of an instance whom defederated from another instance, can’t see anything from that instance which got defederated.
My bad misread your comment
Shitjustworks is still federated with hexbear https://sh.itjust.works/instances
Team aluminum all the way. A higher up where I work is obsessed with stainless steel, he gets these monstrous heavy duty tables made out of SS that hold objects 1/3 of their weight. Makes lab rearranging a nightmare lol.
Aluminum is where it’s at, and where it is, is everywhere.
Your cans? Aluminum. Your car? Mostly aluminum. Old wiring, you better believe that’s aluminum. Your fucking phone screen is aluminum, sand paper is aluminum, half the birth stones are all aluminum let’s fucking goooo baybee
Most cars are still steel. Source I work on cars in New England. So much rust, even on the ones with aluminum bodies, at least wherever it can touch a dissimilar metal and becomes a battery.
And crucially the important parts that keep it from exploding (cylinder liners) and save you in a crash (crumple and bumper cores) are almost all steel. Because it deforms better with simpler engineering.
See also iron brakes in most cars hardened steel bearings everywhere.
STEEL IS AN ALLOY, YOU PHILISTINE
The actual aluminium that people work with in actual real life are also alloys.
Your heresy is forgiven because you used the superior spelling of the metal in question.
