The bean will only melt above 2500F.
We have issues.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Jet fuel can't melt steel beans.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I hate you take my upvote.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago

People were underestimating global warming

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

Authorities urge residents not to taste it

Omw as an out of stater since they only said residents!

Is cloud gate like watergate?

[–] boletus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Why is the bean ai powered.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because it's funnier watching the tourists get fooled that way

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

Every bean deserves to flicked, some beans just need a lil guidance.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago

If you have a girlfriend, she has my pity. But she can probably help you find it.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You can taste it right now just by licking it...

Make sure it's not been freezing the night before.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That's a lie meant to fool tourists. It's perfectly safe to lick the bean in winter. You can trust me; I'm not just a Chicagoan, I'm Sicilian.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As a Chicagoan, I can confidently assert that no locals would touch (or miss) that stupid thing. The parade of tourists that think it's great however? They'll be drinking that shit lol

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I like it in concept.

A big mirror thing in an organic shape is a cool idea.

The shape chosen is the problem. Actually, if it looked like it did in the meme, I'd like it a lot more.

[–] DankDingleberry@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

as an european: may i politely inquire: WTF is going on over there??

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 16 points 4 days ago (3 children)

The bean is a sculpture whose "reflective surface was inspired by liquid mercury" (Source). This post implies it's actually made of mercury and has now melted. The linked webpage says it's made of steel, but as we all know, it takes a lot of heat to melt steel beans.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Chicagoam here. The bean is just a stupid tourist attraction. If you want to see real outdoor art in the city, go find the Picasso. It's like a story and a half tall, you can't miss it.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

I don't know either - never bean to Chicago - but it sure looks impressive

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

The artist is also the guy who bought the exclusive rights to Vantablack and hates that people call it "The Bean", se lets all call it what it is.

[–] faceula@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Oh, oh you sir. Very good.

[–] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh so that’s why they call it Bean Town!
