The bean will only melt above 2500F.
We have issues.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jet fuel can't melt steel beans.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I hate you take my upvote.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

People were underestimating global warming

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Authorities urge residents not to taste it

Why is the bean ai powered.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because it's funnier watching the tourists get fooled that way

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Every bean deserves to flicked, some beans just need a lil guidance.

[–] DankDingleberry@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

as an european: may i politely inquire: WTF is going on over there??

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The bean is a sculpture whose "reflective surface was inspired by liquid mercury" (Source). This post implies it's actually made of mercury and has now melted. The linked webpage says it's made of steel, but as we all know, it takes a lot of heat to melt steel beans.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Chicagoam here. The bean is just a stupid tourist attraction. If you want to see real outdoor art in the city, go find the Picasso. It's like a story and a half tall, you can't miss it.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

I don't know either - never bean to Chicago - but it sure looks impressive

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

The artist is also the guy who bought the exclusive rights to Vantablack and hates that people call it "The Bean", se lets all call it what it is.

[–] faceula@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, oh you sir. Very good.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

Shouldn't have made it out of gallium

[–] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh so that’s why they call it Bean Town!

gentoo headquarters

what you get if you mix Terminator and Godzilla

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That's fucking beananas bro.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can taste it right now just by licking it...

Make sure it's not been freezing the night before.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That's a lie meant to fool tourists. It's perfectly safe to lick the bean in winter. You can trust me; I'm not just a Chicagoan, I'm Sicilian.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As a Chicagoan, I can confidently assert that no locals would touch (or miss) that stupid thing. The parade of tourists that think it's great however? They'll be drinking that shit lol

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I like it in concept.

A big mirror thing in an organic shape is a cool idea.

The shape chosen is the problem. Actually, if it looked like it did in the meme, I'd like it a lot more.
