“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.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 2 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.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 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.....

[–] don@lemm.ee 1 points 2 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.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 48 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for your feedback on a post by LostXOR@fedia.io! It has been recorded and will be shared with the developer.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day 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.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just don't confuse it with fluoride.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 40 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear; set teeth on fire.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

That’s the mouthwash.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 4 points 2 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

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

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

[–] CuriousRefugee@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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

Skill issue

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Some aren't able to spell it right once

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Dude just wants a little stability.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Oh no, not the elections!

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 16 points 2 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 ❤️

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 13 points 2 days ago

Your comment was definitely part of the inspiration. :)

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Now this is ~~pod racing~~ art!

[–] Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago

Its beautiful 🥲

[–] ornery_chemist@mander.xyz 12 points 2 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.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 6 points 2 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.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago

Fluorine's back is giving me trypophbia vibes.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Second panel should just be boom

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Flouride-ah gets low.
