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Do not cite the deep memes to me, witch.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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

The correct answer here.

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

[–] DoYouNot 12 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] lemming741 15 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

No problem, man. Languages are bitches!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month 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.

Is that like his tail, or is he constantly making a kissy kissy face?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Its his penis.

[–] Thteven 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] latenightnoir 2 points 1 month 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

[–] SanndyTheManndy 2 points 1 month 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] 8 points 1 month ago

The Toph of the animal world.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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?

[–] 200ok 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Eugh .. I just remembered.

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

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

The grossest thing about that is dudes teef

[–] robocall 2 points 1 month ago

That thing is ugly!
