Whoever designed that image should have to return the Fe they were paid.

Iridium quality cereal? ConcernedApe is so good to us!

[–] Colonel_Panic_@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

It's hard to make though. You have to harvest Iridium quality Wheat and mine for Iridium bars and then build the Advanced Cereal Irradiator on your farm to craft it.

It's hard to do until year 2.

People will hate on this, but what other breakfast cereal contains dental X-rays in every crunch?

Everyone knows that iron, like all abbreviated four-letter nouns gets abbreviated as the first three letters.

Iro
Jun
Fuc

See? Easy peasy

[–] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social 8 points 4 months ago

Iroh, Junk, Fuc.... uhhhh... Fucu fish? Fucy, a name like "Lucy" but absolute garbtrash?

... Yeah okay that one's just "Fuck." But let's talk about Iroh anyway! He's way cool.

[–] TheWinged7@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't you mean "Eas peasy" :P

That's some expensive cereal...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Probably cheap compared to that Kashi stuff.

Takes a distant third to magic spoon

Yeah, my good buddy is from Genovia, where they use a regional version of the periodic table with more human-friendly names. They use Ca for calcium, Ir for iron, Hy for hydrogen, and Ox for oxygen. This change was their answer to the metric system—a way to make science more accessible to everyone ostensibly I believe.

Back in the 1960s, Gennovia was looking to bolster its local industry and economy. The government decided that simplifying scientific terms would help more people get into science and technology fields. It seems to be working because their literacy rates in science are through the roof? Somehow. They even have Ni for nickel and Si for silver, making it so much easier to remember what’s what. I didn’t know it was prevalent enough that it made its way onto package branding tho. Interesting stuff.

Well I didn't expect to see a Meg Cabot reference on Lemmy. (She's actually a family friend believe it or not.)

Can confirm Genovia doesn't a fuck about IUPAC and its naming conventions.

Love me some cereal fortified with Iridium

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Your number one source of Iridium and Californium! Over 10,000,000 calories in each bite!

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 9 points 4 months ago

Quickly, you only have .0001 seconds to enjoy your Californium!

[–] Vigge93@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not to be too pedantic, but Californium is Cf

Also a good source of California

[–] codapine@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

If they put the correct symbol there it would read café

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Fe

Of course that's iron. What, is that a Latin root or something?

[–] Yax@feddit.de 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Yup, ferrum is the Latin word.

If they put "Fe" on it, too many people would boycott it for gendering the cereal.
