There is plenty of iron in the iron we use to iron. That was unironically the most pathetic attempt of irony.

Not of you use a heated tungsten cube for all your ironing

🤓 Actually almost all modern clothes irons are made with an aluminium* soleplate now, to minimize corrosion. The soleplate makes up most of the metal content of the iron, and is then coated with a thin layer of non-stick coating like non-stick paint, plastic/polymer, or stainless steel.

Stainless steel is just fancy iron, but it is still iron.

My computer has some gold in it, but I wouldn't characterize my computer as 'gold'. Same way modern irons have almost no iron in them. 🤷

It's not just to minimize corrosion, it also heats up more quickly and evenly and cools down more quickly. There's a reason most heatsinks are aluminum, it's an excellent conductor of heat.

There is no iron in my iron, because it doesn't exist.

Right? My mom's iron has a steel plate as its base, which is almost solid iron.

For our Baltimore readers:

Thur is no urn in the urn you use to urn shirts. This is, urnclly, both urnc and un-urnc.

If you want a dash instead of a list bullet, you have to escape it (or use an em dash):

With the iron or without the iron?

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Without. He used a gold titanium alloy. No iron in ironman.

The irony.

[-] thenextguy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

I have played Iron Man many times. It's a great song.

Most people are robust. If a man puts his hand on a woman's bottom, any woman worth her salt can deal with it. It's communication. Can't we be friendly?
