You’re an ordinary Gotham citizen, about to get into your car. Suddenly, Batman runs up to you.
“I need to borrow your car!”
“Wha-”
“I need to help Robin!”
“I’ve got work -”
Batman throws you a set of keys and points to the Batmobile. You wordlessly hand over your keys.
“Thanks!” he yells, jumping behind the wheel, “I’ll return with the car or a better replacement vehicle in 12 hours!”
You drive the Batmobile to work. You realize you forgot your parking pass. No one seems to mind. No one gets much work done that shift, either.
The next morning you leave your apartment to find your car back in your parking spot. The tank is full and the oil has been changed. There are flowers and a gift card in the passenger seat. You don’t know how Batman switched the keys.
You are Two Face in traffic and in your rear view mirror you see Batman crouched like a grandma behind the wheel of a bight pink muscle car.
TIL astronaut Jack Schmidt discovered he was allergic to moon dust, which is a thing millions of other people have probably gone their whole lives never knowing.
Imagine being one of only twelve guys ever to have the honour of walking on the moon and then when you get there you’re allergic to it.
NASA scientist: you’re back early
Jack Schmidt: moon’s an allergen
NASA scientist: …what?
Jack Schmidt, loading an epipen and climbing back into the shuttle: moon’s an allergen
if one in twelve humans who have been on the moon was allergic to moon dust, that’s either a one-in-a-million chance or a VERY common allergy
The fact that it’s such a statistically useless sample is DEFINITELY driving a handful of very specialized scientists absolutely crazy
oh this one i know! he’s not actually allergic and he’s not a statistical outlier. all twelve astronauts reported symptoms after stepping on the moon because lunar soil is fucking nasty to human (and presumably most complex life) biology. moon dust is like inhaling asbestos. it’s very fine, chemically reactive, and will hang around in your lungs for months, like a shitty inhaled cloud of glass. which, as it’s mostly silicon, it kind of is. glass powder that is ripping up your airways and possibly your dna. see again: like asbestos
beautiful base colour, beautiful patina, and it mixes to make beautiful alloys. 10/10 best metal.
she also makes up so much of your wiring, she’s a working gal too.
what CANT she do
Don’t forget about the most beautiful blue made by copper sulfate!!
my absolute FAVOURITE comments on this post are ones like this.
where they just add on something ELSE that copper does. it’s great.
When you need to work in an atmosphere where a stray spark could cause an explosion, you switch out your steel tools for copper alloys since it conducts heat much better and thus won’t spark easy.
So when Tumblr user @mono-red-menace hypes up copper, it’s a 60k-note banger, but when I, Ea-nasir,
