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 months 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 months 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 months 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 months 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.

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

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 59 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dammit, didn't even think of that one.

The imperfection is perfect

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 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just don't confuse it with fluoride.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear; set teeth on fire.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 5 points 2 months 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 months ago

That’s the mouthwash.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 4 points 2 months 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.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 24 points 2 months 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 11 points 2 months ago

Wait a fucking minute.

[–] CuriousRefugee@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

Some aren't able to spell it right once

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

Skill issue

Now this is ~~pod racing~~ art!

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months 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 15 points 2 months ago

Your comment was definitely part of the inspiration. :)

[–] ornery_chemist@mander.xyz 13 points 2 months 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 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Dude just wants a little stability.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

Oh no, not the elections!

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

Its beautiful 🥲

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

Fluorine's back is giving me trypophbia vibes.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Second panel should just be boom

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

Flouride-ah gets low.
