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Do not cite the deep memes to me, witch.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.

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 months ago

The correct answer here.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Doesn't exist. Some metals can form organometallic complexes (with CO, CN, methyl groups), in which case you get for instance "organic mercury" compounds. Iron can also do that, but that's not what theyre talking about here.

What they mean is "biogenic" iron. The snail precipitates dissolved iron and sulfur in the water to form its shell out of iron sulfide. Its a different physical structure, but chemically similar to iron pyrite (fools gold).

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

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

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

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

No problem, man. Languages are bitches!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months 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 months 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:))

Pretty sure this is just a screenshot from Slay The Spire 2

The Toph of the animal world.

Reminds me of the hail Mary alien

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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

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