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Do not cite the deep memes to me, witch.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

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Wish we weren’t! (maybe?) (probably?)

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I can appreciate a good vintage meme. 10/10, excellent delivery. A true classic.

[–] halykthered@lemmy.ml 67 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pretty sure this was a pokemon first, nature is gunna get sued by nintendo.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Clearly a Shellmet

Don't give them ideas.

Same as iron but costs 30% more

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 18 points 2 weeks ago

The correct answer here.

[–] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 34 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Doesn't exist. Some metals can form organometallic complexes (with CO, CN, methyl groups), in which case you get for instance "organic mercury" compounds. Iron can also do that, but that's not what theyre talking about here.

What they mean is "biogenic" iron. The snail precipitates dissolved iron and sulfur in the water to form its shell out of iron sulfide. Its a different physical structure, but chemically similar to iron pyrite (fools gold).

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

[–] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hazarding a guess, but I think it's referring to something like "the biologically mediated reduction of iron".

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] lemming741@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Lots of carbon = iron
Little bit of carbon = steel
Zero carbon = iron

It's confusing, I know

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

fair enough! I see now that my comment might look a little antagonizing, that was not what I wanted to express, sorry bout that.

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

No problem, man. Languages are bitches!

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At least link the wiki. Yes, it's real.

… Admiral Ackbar looking dude

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Its his penis.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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:))

[–] friendly_ghost@beehaw.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure this is just a screenshot from Slay The Spire 2

[–] kubica@fedia.io 8 points 2 weeks ago

The Toph of the animal world.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Reminds me of the hail Mary alien

[–] SanndyTheManndy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] gentooer@programming.dev 7 points 2 weeks 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@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Eugh .. I just remembered.

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

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

The grossest thing about that is dudes teef

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That thing is ugly!
