My wedding band formed while it was destroying a solar system. You wouldn't like it when its angry.

Don’t forget they were also made with dihydrogen monoxide, a substance that kills hundreds of thousands every year!

Not to mention all of the other chemicals!

Literally every ingredient! Chemicals!

We need to avoid all candy! It's proven fact that 100% of people that consume candy eventually die, even those that were only exposed to 2nd hand candy!

I love that this fella referred to their self as "the Bobby Yaga." That's the energy we need in this world

Just make sure that none of it came from any kilonovas.

That's actually an interesting question, how many of the atoms we have today are directly from the big bang?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

All of them :)

Edit: Or none depending on how you see it. No atoms were formed directly at the Big Bang because too hot, but all atoms' existence is a pretty direct consequence of it

If that's the case I would say none then. The constitute parts aren't the item. (How many ships are produced by a forest? None, we use the wood to make the ships.)

All of them? At what point do we consider new atom formation to not be a part of the big bang? Isn't it still ongoing, at least until expansion and atomic formation stops?

I would consider a sun forming new atoms to not be atoms from the big bang.

I guess those are better than finding beans in your candy...
