Ever thought about taking a deep dive into molten bismuth? Well, spoiler alert: it’s not a great idea. While bismuth is famous for its low melting point and those mind-bending psychedelic crystals, plunging into it would do wonders—just not the kind you're hoping for.

Like that time I tried to jump into a pool of whipped cream—total disaster. Next time you feel adventurous, remember: stick to solid ground and save the bismuth for your tabletop experiments. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/16/a-deep-dive-into-molten-bismuth/ #ScienceFails #BismuthAdventures #StaySafe #PsychedelicScience #MetalMadness

Why are we still settling for mediocre technology? The ASUS 24″ Eye Care Monitor just dropped below its Prime Day price, and while some may cheer about a $40 discount, it’s time to ask: why is this still the standard?

I've personally experienced the frustration of subpar monitors, and let me tell you, it’s a headache you don't want to deal with. We deserve better than just “eye care” marketing fluff! It’s 2023—let’s demand more from our tech, not just cheaper prices! Don't fall for the hype; hold out for quality. https://kotaku.com/grab-an-asus-24-inch-hd-monitor-for-just-79-for-a-limited-time-2000635755 #TechFail #DemandQuality #MonitorMadness #UpgradeYourLife #ASUSDisappointment
