Okay starkiller.
Two punches for calling it Aluminium
Us Americans are too excited about making stuff with our Uh-loo-min-um that we just skip pronouncing some of the vowels
Guy that named it called it Aluminum
Weirdo types that decided they were in charge of naming things decided to name it Aluminium so it “matched” the likes of other metals like titanium, iridium, etc

Let me guess: you pronounce GIF as Jif just because the creator is a peanut butter obsessed weirdo who couldn’t pronounce “graphics”?
Team aluminum all the way. A higher up where I work is obsessed with stainless steel, he gets these monstrous heavy duty tables made out of SS that hold objects 1/3 of their weight. Makes lab rearranging a nightmare lol.
The actual aluminium that people work with in actual real life are also alloys.
Your heresy is forgiven because you used the superior spelling of the metal in question.
If you really want to stop the stainless steel obsession, you could start cleaning the benches with bleach and not rinsing again afterwards. The corrosion will set in quickly.
Aluminum will stain, but it won’t start rusting.
I’ll just get a spray bottle of mercury and fuck your aluminium assface right up.
Aluminum is where it’s at, and where it is, is everywhere.
Your cans? Aluminum. Your car? Mostly aluminum. Old wiring, you better believe that’s aluminum. Your fucking phone screen is aluminum, sand paper is aluminum, half the birth stones are all aluminum let’s fucking goooo baybee
Most cars are still steel. Source I work on cars in New England. So much rust, even on the ones with aluminum bodies, at least wherever it can touch a dissimilar metal and becomes a battery.
And crucially the important parts that keep it from exploding (cylinder liners) and save you in a crash (crumple and bumper cores) are almost all steel. Because it deforms better with simpler engineering.
See also iron brakes in most cars hardened steel bearings everywhere.
I was referring to the engine block and pistons being aluminum. I assume chassis and many of the critical spinning bits are still steel or iron.
It’s also mostly a shit post. I’m a machinist and I am surrounded by aluminum in funny forms.
Thorium master race.
Always been more of an iridium man myself
