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 1 month 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 3 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 106 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 55 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

Just don't confuse it with fluoride.

[–] NaibofTabr 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear; set teeth on fire.

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

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

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That’s the mouthwash.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 4 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago

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

[–] CuriousRefugee@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Some aren't able to spell it right once

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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 14 points 1 month 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 14 points 1 month ago

Your comment was definitely part of the inspiration. :)

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Dude just wants a little stability.

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Oh no, not the elections!

[–] ornery_chemist@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month 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 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Maxxie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago

Its beautiful 🥲

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

Fluorine's back is giving me trypophbia vibes.

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

Flouride-ah gets low.
