“You’ll be charged for this” is a better ending though.

Dammit, didn't even think of that one.

You'd better watch what you say!

I can't figure out how to timestamp it on my iPhone, but 1:30.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wherever you pause a video and share, the receiver will start the video at that timestamp.

Apparently not on iOS because I tried exactly that.

Or maybe it did work and I just wasn't testing it right.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Your link ends with “?=90” and when I tapped your link, it started me of at 1:30.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I did like 4 different edits of that url and every time it started at 0. Just tested and it was right. Welp.....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I also use iOS and sometimes think that’s the issue, so you’re not alone.

Hey, sure, singlet fluorine is real bad, but even diatomic fluorine is only barely less reactive than singlet.

I really enjoyed your locally produced all natural hand drawn meme :3 x

Thank you for your feedback on a post by [email protected]! It has been recorded and will be shared with the developer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Wait a fucking minute.

Fluorine ain't nothin to fuck with. Shit will set asbestos on fire. Shit will set water on fire. Shit will set anything on fire.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Just don't confuse it with fluoride.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear; set teeth on fire.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I thought that was just the ridiculous amounts of concentrated menthol some brands put in toothpaste.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

That’s the mouthwash.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Wait what if

Here me out

What if Florine IS fire. So OF COURSE you mix it with anything and the result is fire

Modern day chemists have succeeded where the alchemists of old failed by finally isolating phlogiston.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Ghosts can't go through walls. It's not florine!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Obviously AI slop! No one is able to spell flourine correctly twice!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

Some aren't able to spell it right once

Tangential: my friends made fun of me when I pronounced every syllable in phenolphthalein including the "f" of the second ph.

Now this is ~~pod racing~~ art!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hope this came from my comment in the other thread about napkin art. I love these. We should keep going ❤️

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

Your comment was definitely part of the inspiration. :)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

Dude just wants a little stability.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Oh no, not the elections!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

A bunch of electrons? Nah F only ever wants just one more than its natural allotment. But it is extremely, violently jealous of that electron.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

It's just saving some for later! Or to give to its friends. Idk it's been a while since I took chem.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Its beautiful 🥲

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

Fluorine's back is giving me trypophbia vibes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Second panel should just be boom
