never
rocks arn't organic; theres no carbon in rocks, there is always carbon in food.

>>4092460
>implying controlled fusion and fission

>>4092454
>no carbon in rocks
Ahahahahahahahahahahaha.

If that was the case, we couldn't do radioactive dating, you stupid bitch. Also, minerals are "rocks." Diamonds are a mineral. GTFO, retard. Oh, and so is graphite.

>>4092460
>he thinks there isn't carbon in rocks

Why would you want to synthesize food from rocks when we can literally pull food out of thin air.

>>4092460
the same stuff that rocks are made of, animals and plants are made of. Therefore rocks are organic.. EK's retarded theory disproved. QED.

And little EK runs away when he is found to be wrong. Stay classy, EK.

>>4092468
carbon dating is done on fossils IIRC, and they are in rock (sedimentary rock) but the actual rock itself doesnt have carbon in it when its formed.
it's mainly silicon.

>>4092468
Diamond is a metal. It's the hardest metal known the man. Lrn2geology101

>>4092488
>doesn't even know what a fossil is
Ah hahahahaha.

"Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a technique used to date materials such as rocks, usually based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.[1]"

>rocks

>>4092491
take a look at this patriotic table of laminates.

diamond is'nt in the blue so diamonds can't be metals.
magnets don't even pick them up.

>>4092534
Magents don't even pick up mercury, and yet it looks like silver, which tastes like gold, which is shiny, so not all metals are picked up by magnets.

>>4092495
>Radiometric dating
>Carbon dating
>both has "dating" in it so it must be the same thing.

>>4092552
Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a technique used to date materials such as rocks, usually based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.[1] It is the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other geological features, including the age of the Earth itself, and can be used to date a wide range of natural and man-made materials. Together with stratigraphic principles, radiometric dating methods are used in geochronology to establish the geological time scale.[2] Among the best-known techniques are radiocarbon dating, potassium-argon dating and uranium-lead dating. By allowing the establishment of geological timescales, it provides a significant source of information about the ages of fossils and the deduced rates of evolutionary change. Radiometric dating is also used to date archaeological materials, including ancient artifacts
>radiocarbon dating

>>4092491
Yeah, because carbon is a metal, retard.

>>4092491
learn to hardness

>>4092553
and your point is? cant you read?
>Among the best-known techniques are radiocarbon dating
thus all Radiometric dating uses carbon!

you are able to date with other materials too.

>>4092568
lol are you a retard or just stupid?

>>4092572
He was mocking the opponent by mimicry when he said radiocarbon is the only kind of dating.

>>4092572
>>4092572
you seem to be the retard.
the whole argument is that rocks have carbon because Radiometric dating is used on them, which somehow means only radiocarbon dating and not things like uranium-lead dating. how is that a logical argument? even though uranium-lead dating is even mentioned in the link used to support this insane argument.

>>4092578
It actually look like the argument is getting derailed by this. The original post was asking if food could be synthesized from rocks, and it went off track from there. We can thank EK for that, it seems.

>>4092588
>rocks arn't organic; theres no carbon in rocks, there is always carbon in food.
yes, she should know better than to post this in a thread about rocks and food.

I wish EK would force her feminism on people in some other forum on some other thread. : (

>>4092589
She failed to realize there are a number of minerals comprised of diamond.

>>4092593
>gayfag

/r/ 40,000 diamonds per car copypasta

FINE, WE'LL END THIS FUCKING DISCUSSION RIGHT HERE.
SILICON CARBIDE
CALCIUM CARBONATE
ANY OTHER CARBONATE
ANY OTHER CARBIDE
DIAMOND
GRAPHITE
COAL
AND ORGANIC MATERIALS, LIKE FOSSILS AND FOSSILIZED WOOD, CONTAIN CARBON THAT INDICATE TIME OF DEATH. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DATE SEDIMENTARY LAYERS, BECAUSE MINERAL FORMATION IS NOT IDENTICAL WITH ROCK FORMATION IN MANY INSTANCES. ON THE OTHER HAND, TIME OF DEATH MUST COINCIDE WITH ROCK FORMATION, BECAUSE OTHERWISE ALL ORGANIC MATERIAL WOULD HAVE ALREADY ROTTED.

THAT IS WHY RADIOCARBON DATING IS DONE ON ROCKS.

ALSO, WE MAKE FERTILIZER OUT OF OIL, WHICH IS BASICALLY A LIQUID MINERAL, SO WE KINDA DO MAKE FOOD OUT OF ROCKS.

Traveling at wall per hour.

>ALSO, WE MAKE FERTILIZER OUT OF OIL, WHICH IS BASICALLY A LIQUID MINERAL, SO WE KINDA DO MAKE FOOD OUT OF ROCKS.

Fuck rocks, why can't you faggots see that it's 1000x more awesome to make food out of air.

>>4092618

>>4092618
see, this is how you respond to the claim of "theres no carbon in rocks",... just. without the caps. not by saying "Ahahahahahahahahahahaha." or "he thinks there isn't carbon in rocks".

>>4092625
We do that, too. That's actually like two different industries.

>>4092632
YOU DON'T DO IT WITH CAPS?

AW, MAN, MY BAD.

we already do. that's the so-called 'green revolution', petro based fertilizer.

>>4092634
stop yelling at me!

>>4092655
WOAH, DUDE, I'M SORRY. I'M HARD OF HEARING, AND USUALLY I DON'T NOTICE HOW LOUD I'M TALKING. I DIDN'T MEAN TO YELL.

anyway, carbon exists in so many rocks it's crazy.

>>4092657
O, SORRY, DIDNT MEAN TO BRING ATTENTION TO YOUR PHYSICAL SHORTCOMINGS.

>>4092674
THAT'S OKAY. THANKS FOR SPEAKING UP AND ACKNOWLEDGING THEM.

>>4092593
i didnt say anything about feminism in this thread, im not even a feminist.

>>4092655
>>4092657

>>4092681
why not?

feminist =! feminazi

>>4092681
So, how's it feel having an entire thread saying you're wrong?

>>4092657
you should get that looked at, before it kills you or something. I know a friend who is a computer engineer who was fine and then one day lost hear hearing in a coding accident involving python. He was fine right after it but 2 days latter, BAM. his wife cheated on him, he always lies in the bed facing away from her when he reeds Ben 10 fanfics so he didn't even notice it until the following morning when he and his wife did their bi-weekly urine and vinegar play when he realized her vagina tasted like his brothers cum. after that he lost his house and his kids to a fire he started on his wife after she tried explaining that his brother was giving her CPR but he got confused and did it in the wrong hole with his penis. but he couldn't hear it become of the loss of his ears. now he works at some consulting company testing urine for excessive amount of vinegar from those packets you get at KFC to optimize vinegar distribution in the tristate area. not a very well paying job for someone who cant hear how much he is making.

>>4092685
im a humanist
i believe in equality between the sexes, but calling myself a feminist would be misleading

>>4092687
meh, fair enough
'rock' is a vague term, some do have carbon in.

>>4092693
You said no rocks did.

>>4092692
>i believe in equality between the sexes

So does a feminist.

>>4092692
>i believe in equality between the sexes

So does a feminist. But they appreciate the historical imbalance.

>>4092693
>typical EK trying to justify himself
go away teacunt/EK, we don't need anymore trolling from other parts of your brain.

>>4092694
and i was wrong
coal is a rock, coal has carbon in.

>>4092700
yes, but it can still be misleading, and people might presume i am a 'man-hater' or something, so its easier just to say im a humanist to avoid pointless arguments.

>>4092707
Coal isn't a rock, coal is a mineral.

>2011
>not being able to eat rocks

>>4092689
Normally I don't let go of my wat very easily, but that just ... all of it. All of my wat. Hats off to you.

>>4092454
I would never want to blow wind from my ass ANYWHERE near my face.

What is wrong with this girl?

False: Portals are explicitly stated to not affect momentum. “Speedy thing goes in. Speedy thing goes out.” Its inertial status does not change whatsoever by merely going through a portal. All changes are the result of outside forces. If you messed up this early, then there’s something wrong with you.

>>4093431
wrong ....
momentum is a vector.
the direction changes.
go learn mechanics again.

off topic post sage.

so much derp in this thread i cant even be bothered to correct any of it
