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?

Do not cite the deep memes to me, witch. I was there when they were written.

[–] brbposting 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wish we weren’t! (maybe?) (probably?)

I can appreciate a good vintage meme. 10/10, excellent delivery. A true classic.

Same as iron but costs 30% more

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

The correct answer here.

Wait GregTech has its own iron ores in real life now as well‽

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hazarding a guess, but I think it's referring to something like "the biologically mediated reduction of iron".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd have guessed iron+carbon, instead (so, steel).

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

No problem, man. Languages are bitches!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At least link the wiki. Yes, it's real.

When we figure out economic lab grown meat I'd like to try a startup that makes organic alloys.

Do you think its Iron Skin is time-based or should I just mod for ability strength?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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:))

Reminds me of the hail Mary alien

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

The Toph of the animal world.

In case you're wondering what the hell is meant by "organic iron", it's normal inorganic iron sulphides.

Why does this gross me out?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Eugh .. I just remembered.

It reminds me of "black hairy tongue" (NSFL)

[–] prettybunnys 2 points 2 weeks ago

The grossest thing about that is dudes teef

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago
