Ah yes, oxygen, my favourite metal

Can't make fire without oxygen. That's pretty metal 🤟

Fluorine fires have entered the chat.

Oh shit, someone call the fluorine fire department to save the chat!

call the fluorine fire department

Sometimes there is no such department, especially for the most vigorous fluorinating reagents like chlorine trifluoride: Sand Won't Save You This Time (Derek Lowe)

it can potentially go on to “burn” things that you would normally consider already burnt to hell and gone, and a practical consequence of that is that it’ll start roaring reactions with things like bricks and asbestos tile.

Even apart from sign language, it's the hand sign for "hang loose" and not "throwing horns." But was as close as I could get.

Pretty sure that's the emoji for "thwip".

You think that's air you're breathing now?
