A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Oh yea, you can cook it with any vegetable, fruit, or flower, milk, and rock salt to get a tough seafood stew. I those are pretty powerful, like your defense goes up for 5 minutes.
Alternatively mix it with monster parts and you get an elixir but what fun is that?
I think Zelda is a pretty cool guy. Eh cooks moenstrs and doesnt afraid of anything.
Do not cite the deep memes to me, witch. I was there when they were written.
Wish we weren’t! (maybe?) (probably?)
I can appreciate a good vintage meme. 10/10, excellent delivery. A true classic.
Pretty sure this was a pokemon first, nature is gunna get sued by nintendo.
Clearly a Shellmet
Don't give them ideas.
What's organic iron?
Same as iron but costs 30% more
The correct answer here.
Doesn't exist. Some metals can form organometallic complexes (with CO, CN, methyl groups), in which case you get for instance "organic mercury" compounds. Iron can also do that, but that's not what theyre talking about here.
What they mean is "biogenic" iron. The snail precipitates dissolved iron and sulfur in the water to form its shell out of iron sulfide. Its a different physical structure, but chemically similar to iron pyrite (fools gold).
Looks like iron sulfide, pyrite, and greigite in this case.
Highlights from this rabbit hole: "imbricating chitinous sclerites" and "conchiolin".

Wait GregTech has its own iron ores in real life now as well‽
Hazarding a guess, but I think it's referring to something like "the biologically mediated reduction of iron".
I'd have guessed iron+carbon, instead (so, steel).
Lots of carbon = iron
Little bit of carbon = steel
Zero carbon = iron
It's confusing, I know
organic iron plates, not plates of organic iron.
the plates are generated by an organic process, not out of organic materials.
you can't just remove a word from the context and act as if that doesn't change the meaning.

Makes sense, thanks

Well, I'm not a native english speaker and the title seemed at least misleading.
fair enough! I see now that my comment might look a little antagonizing, that was not what I wanted to express, sorry bout that.
No problem, man. Languages are bitches!
Wikipedia says it's iron sulfide. I'm not sure that's organic.
Yeah, no.
When we figure out economic lab grown meat I'd like to try a startup that makes organic alloys.
More like shelmet 
Is that like his tail, or is he constantly making a kissy kissy face?
Its his penis.
Nice Warframe!
Do you think its Iron Skin is time-based or should I just mod for ability strength?
Oh, Ability Strength, definitely! Slap an Ironclad Charge on there, and you'll start a global iron deficit!
But, uuh... I think these wee buddies would also need a significant Sprint boost:))
Pretty sure this is just a screenshot from Slay The Spire 2
The Toph of the animal world.
Reminds me of the hail Mary alien
Invertebrate, high temperature, high pressure, lightless environment, is armor plated, eats mineral-rich diet.
Now we just need to figure out if they can do echolocation and math.
In case you're wondering what the hell is meant by "organic iron", it's normal inorganic iron sulphides.
Metal Slug XI
So metal.
Why does this gross me out?
Eugh .. I just remembered.
It reminds me of "black hairy tongue" (NSFL)
The grossest thing about that is dudes teef
🤘
That thing is ugly!
yes it's a very pretty skirt
