I thought this was going to turn into "the element of surprise."

Carbon totally gets around, but it's just so attractive. I guess I'm just really into carbon dating.

No lie, I was on Tumblr this morning and I read a post talking about how offended they were by NDT pushing a slut-shaming agenda
DisgruntledFerret
Man, tumblr really has some humorless and toxic subcultures. Echo chambers are a scary thing.

I like the look on Jon Stewart's face "oh no not the Carbon story again".

Taking 2 years of chemistry A level was worth it so I can understand these jokes.
TF2215
Now people will call him a sexist for using the word slut
BigAndChunkyDane
Why? People of all the fancy genders can be sluts?
TF2215
I have no idea, but people tend to do it when a guy uses the word slut
actonthat
When a guy uses it demeaningly toward a woman, yeah, it's sexist. Not that complex?
TF2215
So if a woman calls another woman a slut they aren't sexist? Makes sense
actonthat
(Well, and arguably when toward a man, too, but 140 characters.)
actonthat
(And also when a woman says it, but 140 characters.)

Typical male chauvinism. The noble gases fuck anything that walk, get called studs. Carbon makes the same choices, gets slut shamed.
sadwastedmexican
We just got to Cis and Trans metals...thank god no femnatzi's ever make it to higher lever chemistry
mt06
Cis and trans metals? I don't think you've worded that quite right. We have cis and trans conformations of chiral compounds
sadwastedmexican
Er, sorry you are right, I was trying to figure out how to explain the ligand placement in too few characters
SlamChunk
I don't think a lot of people realize cis was a word before gender became the flavor of the month. That and the acronym HOMO. It's Hilarious

Not much carbon in stars, though.

Our carbon was made in stars. http://www.livescience.com/32828-humans-really-made-stars.html
krauraurgg
Sure, but then it got kicked out and formed planets. The sun right now doesn't have much carbon. It's mostly much lighter elements.
kongfuchicken
When carbon combines with itself, it becomes harder than anything else we know of.

woah wtf, that was like magic, I read it as Star Trek too...wtf? Is this magic? Trickery? Real life?

UGH, what the hell. I read that three times as "Star Trek" and I was thinking he must've been super young to have been on TOS.
ZiggySolo
Scrolls back to top to confirm.

Ditto.

I read it as that, didn't get it, so read it again... and STILL read star trek. +1 for helping me be less confused!

This makes more sense, but now I'm sad :(

Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I mean, he was brilliant in The Faculty, why not Star Trek?

NDT has been on Star GATE... with Bill Nye! It was a great episode.

Omg. I thought so too and was going crazy trying to think of what episode it was and how I could have missed him!
phlat6
Fun fact: He did a skit on "The Jon Stewart Show" as Captain Picard. It was hilarious.

Same
d0gma
I assumed "talk" was a typo and that they meant trek.
SeanBilyea
Lol i did too don't worry.
Gamezealot
I was about to google the episode of Star Trek he was in. I was slightly suspicious because Star Trek aired in the late 60's. Thanks lol!
Zwergvomberg
I actually read it three times as Star Trek. Found it odd but continued eventually. Then I read your comment.
MakeTabbouleNotWar
I did too... I'm a bit dissapointed

Me too, and my mind went to TNG and not the original series, and I'm thinking "He would have been an awesome Q"

The only reason I realized that I had misread "Star Talk" as "Star Trek" was because I saw your comment.

I was only corrected when reading this comment

I did the exact same thing.

Your comment made me realize that it did not in fact say Star Trek

Oh, I thought it was Star Trek.

Same here. Except, I've drunk 9 Carlsburg's, so I have an excuse.

Am I the only one who read it as star wars...?

I think it's a gif and it did say "Star Trek" the first time. We can't all be this unaware, right?

bullcrap, Fluorine is the slut of the chemistry world as it will react with pretty much anything
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
In that case, fluorine is the Tumblr of the periodic table
Nobahdi
Sounds more like the drama queen of elements.
SaltyHams
More like the tumblrite
WherePoetryComesToDie
Real talk, tho: I have friends who work with F. They are high-strung, incredibly nervous and often look like they just stepped out of a war.
TreeBayerDruid
When gaming, I often name my kick ass female characters "Fluorine".
thisismysocialsecuritynumber
my high school chem teacher called fluorine a hoochie mama
BrokenZen

valen00
Flourine is the overly attached GF of chemistry
ArmorcladCowboy
Nah, Francium is the slut. Fluorine is a rapist, it takes whatever electrons it wants. Francium gives it's electron away to anything.
UnnecessaryAnswerMan
Fluorine is the creepy stalker that might blow up and/or kill you at any point.
Threns
Yeah but Flourines' reaction tends to be unpleasant and vicious and not at all fun.
fleeingwithDatruth
That would make fluorine a bitch not a ho
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
Can confirm, absolutely true. And insanely flammable. Source: I work at a fluorine plant
HornyZebras
Of the 10 million or so compounds that are known today, about 9 million of those are carbon containing compounds.
Spearka
Fluorine can react with Xenon, I'm pretty sure you can't get better than that
HornyZebras
Combining is different than reacting:)
HornyZebras
Or rather, one potential outcome of a reaction.
kyprianna
But fluorine usually sticks to one at a time. Carbon will take up to four at the same time!
nelshai
Sometimes carbon will take 5 when it really feels like it.
krauraurgg
Ah, the infamous Texas carbons.
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
Considering I work at a plant where we produce UF6 and used to produce SF6, SbF5, and IF5... no, it doesn't usually stick to just one.
elbart
pimp
kyprianna
In all of those each F atom is only bonded once- to the slut in middle.
krauraurgg
Still just one bond per fluorine. Carbon usually forms four bonds, and can go higher in exceptional circumstances.
thenipplegrippler
But you're using multiple atoms of flourine so it still is sticking to one.
ZeroPointDrifter
So Fluorine is basically a fan of gangbanging other elements.

But 69 only involves two people. That's not enough for carbon.
