I guess I should create a "very interesting" community?

Which element leaves a green trace in its wake while it burns? It's not iron, is it?

[-] RadicalRebel@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

It could be copper, barium, and/or boron, as all of these burn green. Copper tends to be more blue green, with copper chloride burning an emerald green. Barium is often a pale green and a boron flame will have a green hue as well.

I've seen this movie. It doesn't go well for people.

Looks like it is heading toward Addis Ababa.

Edit: Yes. I found this photo of the person who located it.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
