These two clearly don't know about titanium.

A metal as hard as my heart
And fractures just as easily
Tungsten enters the chat
But it turns out to be too dense to follow along.
Until it meets some carbide…
And oceangate decided it's the best material for deep diving.
Fucker so hard no one wants to work with it.
Fuck off tittyboi
Steel is the king
That's just spiced iron

very clearly the best metal is mercury because it's the only one you can drink at room temperature
Gallium wants a word.
Eating Gallium is like eating M&M's.
Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.

Really? No one's on the Tungsten train over here? Highest melting point of all metals. It's also called 'the devourer of tin'. Now that's metal for ya.
Tin will devour itself anyway
Only because it knows tungsten is out there lurking. Waiting. Hunting.

I only fly in airplanes made of 100% American steel.
Hey, Elon.
Got bored with twitter?
Don’t deadname X.
I still cringe at the "posted on x, formerly known as Twitter" wording everyone feels the need to use, even almost a year later.
I think we should all just call it Twitter and ignore the name change.
We should all just ignore the platform until doesn’t matter what it’s called anymore.

The true tossup is actually mercury or lead.
Both insanely useful metals with a massive variety of helpful traits.
And the universe made them poisonous to us as a big "FUCK YOU".
It's very annoying that gold is so expensive. Much less toxic and still has loads of great properties. It's just, you know, expensive.

Amateurs! It's gotta be silver!
- Looks nice in jewellery
- Antimicrobial properties
- An essential component of camera film
- Highly conductive (e.g. used for electrodes and thermal paste in computing)
- Catalyst in many chemical reactions
- Used to make mirrors
- A critical component of solar panels
- The only metal capable of incapacitating werewolves, and also somewhat effective against vampires
Highly conductive
Until it oxidizes, and silver is a complete whore for oxygen.

Aluminum "rusts" as well. White rust. Aluminum oxide.
in fact, it rusts so fast, that it's pretty much impossible to get a "clean" aluminium surface while oxygen is around

And if you combine that with magnesium powder, you can make a historic doping agent to coat your zeppelin with!

You also need both iron oxide and aluminum powder to make thermite. It's amazing what metal can achieve when it works together.

You should sneak into his garage in the night and sabotage all his aluminum ingots by hitting them with a hammer until they crack. When he tries to break into your garage to get revenge, he'll break his hammer and hurt his wrist because iron ingots are superior in strength. That'll show him.

Gallium or bust.
It's not really useful but it looks cool and it'll eat away at both if their metals.

God damn rustcucks can't deal with their own inferiority. When's the last time you even used pure iron for something instead of alloy, you fucking loser.🤡

Still the most normal conversation on 4chan
Aluminum is great, until you want to machine it. Then it's a gummy piece of shit.
As far as machining goes, AL is easy mode compared to high carbon steels, tool steels, and inconels.

Zinc is by FAR the best element. I also like Plutonium. It's just fun to say. Plutonium. How's your Plutonium? Good thank you.

I would listen to this person's extremely specific rant.
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
Aluminum has always been my favorite element and metal. I feel the urge to punch this anon in his aluminum-hating fuckface.
