1000°c seems accurate:
Fun little science fact: Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of. It’s called Black Body Radiation. The color chart shows what temperatures correspond with various “colors” of glow.
Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of
True only if light emissions aren’t dominated by chemical effects or filtered by structural effects. Plenty of materials burn at different colors. Although if you wait out the chemical reactions and keep it heated, it does eventually end up with just blackbody radiation too 🤷
Which makes iron a suitable substitute for tungsten at 3000 C
Why was the pineapple discarded? They could have eaten it 😭
Don’t worry. It’s a black deck, so the graveyard is exactly where the pineapple wants to be.
and what happened to the card
It got dissed.
What it did to deserve that, we might never know. . .
My friend calls pineapples ‘Dragon Eggs’ and tossed one into a bonfire. Pulled it out later to have the most delicious roasted sweet mythical egg ever
Sounds tasty. I can vouch for lemons undergoing a similar transformation. Wrap them in foil, seal it really well, and chuck them near a fire or bbq. They come out soft, sweet, and delicious.
Before Maillard invented his reaction in 1912, you would have just gotten a burnt lemon
I would like to subscribe to lemon facts.
Like, in the middle of the fire? For how long? Wanna try it in the future
Tossed it in when the fire was at peak flame, and then waited for the wood to burn, the pineapple looked like a big piece of black coal
I need to try this. A full pineapple into the flames naked?
Pineapple can be naked, if anyone else is naked, I suggest not jumping into the flames
Roasted pineapple is delicious. Coat it on some brown sugar, roast it, then carve off the toasted bits. Repeat.
I need to try that
“My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!..Wait, is that…pinapple skin armour?? Oh, shit, I’m so fucked!”
It’s only valid if it’s the RHNB.
I’ve been watching Tech Ingredients search for the best shield material to test their Drone destroying extreme high power laser setup indoors for obvious reasons.
It turned out to be fruits/veggies. Nothing else came close. So he went with panels filled with thickened water.
Huh, well keystrokes for later
That makes sense. The specific heat of water is a real bastard to overcome.
I’m personally skeptical of laser based weapons, given that they have one wavelength. once one is developed and deployed, it will be trivial to paint drones with a reflective paint specific for that wavelength.
The results is a nation investing 100s of millions on a weapon, that once deployed will be countered by 1000s $ of spray paint.
imagine if you could get a t-shirt that could deflect a any bullet. that’s what still happen with laser based weapons.
I think that wouldn’t necessarily work once you get to the right wavelengths for it to start interacting with the organic bases of the paints. There’s only so much you can do when someone shoots an infrared laser at the resonant frequency of a C=C double bond.
chemist was my weak point at uni. and I’m too tired to look that up, what’s the frequency. I want to check if there are materials that can reflect it.
the coating doesn’t have to be organic, a thin metallic coating might reflect the laser.
I’m not giving an expert opinions. but I’m personally betting that any laser weapon will be useless within weeks or days.
Wasn’t that 1500 whatever-the-unit-was? Below 1000 whatever-the-unit-was was the fingerprint bands, 3400ish whatever-the-unit-was was the O-H bonds, 3100ish whatever-the-unit-was was N-H bonds, 2900ish whatever-the-unit-was was the triple-to-C-H bonds, etc.
Ugh. The lab portion for that was so tedious. We would have to sketch the expected resonance patterns by hand for a bunch of different molecules. I loved the simplicity of the hydrogen bond nuclear resonance imaging so much more.
Honestly, I memorised the bands once in orgo, and never looked at them again, so you’re more likely to know than I.
I never knew a disintegration ray was possible.

Sir Pinappleus the Hawaiian: You absolute fool.The pineapple will be just fine the flesh touching the steam on the other side spread all over your body by the pineapple keeping it pressed against your skin on the other hand is going to have a nice chard bbq taste.
If the steam doesn’t get you, the enzymes breaking down your proteins would surely give you horrible skin irritation.
so does this make my balls permanently sweet or what
Knights Of The Pineapple! Arise!
I hurt my knee; can I remain seated?
Does it work when the skin is properly dried though? Armor would dry out over time.
Ya, it’s all a big lie brought to you by billionaire dragons. They’re just trying to get you to wrap yourself in a tasty garnish so that they get a nice citrus flavor once they are done roasting you.
You’ll have to keep moist and wet. Oh so wet.
This gives me God Emperor of Dune vibes.
Fake news: the underside of the ball is room temperature. Nice fucking try though.
