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?

I think Zelda is a pretty cool guy. Eh cooks moenstrs and doesnt afraid of anything.

Do not cite the deep memes to me, witch. I was there when they were written.

Wish we weren’t! (maybe?) (probably?)

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] halykthered@lemmy.ml 66 points 1 year ago

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Clearly a Shellmet

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Don't give them ideas.

Same as iron but costs 30% more

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

The correct answer here.

[-] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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‽

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago

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 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 1 year ago

No problem, man. Languages are bitches!

[-] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] lemming741@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

It's confusing, I know

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago

… Admiral Ackbar looking dude

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year 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 2 points 1 year ago

Its his penis.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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:))

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

The Toph of the animal world.

[-] gentooer@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

In case you're wondering what the hell is meant by "organic iron", it's normal inorganic iron sulphides.

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why does this gross me out?

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Eugh .. I just remembered.

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

The grossest thing about that is dudes teef
