PPC Boarders represented by memes by
on 2018-08-12 22:09:00 UTC
Reply
As hS and Nesh remember, I used to make a lot of PPC memes using Walfas. Then I stopped because (among other things) Walfas's create.swf no longer opens in a new tab on my computer, and instead my laptop downloads the file, which I don't know if I want. Since I can't do that, I decided to do something PPC and memey another way, by trying to figure out what memes and/or specific iterations of a meme best represent some Boarders I know. I've only got two, myself included, because I don't have that many ideas, but that's what replying with your own is for! Enjoy!
P.S. If you were affected by my little... whatever it was I did in the Plort thread, do note that I have replied with an apology. You may read it as you wish.
Huinesoron: They're Taking The Hobbits To Isengard
Reasoning: Do I have to explain this one? He's a LotR fan. He's a goofball, if you manage to get him in a silly mood. This song encapsulates both.
See it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE-1RPDqJAY
Another possible candidate: Look At This Graph (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIlNIVXpIns)
twistedwindowpane: Rush E
Reasoning: Any of Sheet Music Boss's Russian songs reflect me pretty well, purely because they get faster and crazier over time, showing a prime example of the various speeds at which my mind functions (and malfunctions). Rush E would have to be my favorite because it also throws in the Markiplier "E" meme.
See it here (warning, contains a couple near-jumpscares via a sudden loud "E"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qskm9MTz2V4
Other Candidates: Running in the 90s except it speeds up from 0% to 400% (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEOuVGjHP-4), Darude Sandstorm on accordions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uizNcQcpK-8)
Have fun making your own suggestions! (Key words are "have fun." I am not going to go ruining anyone's days any further if I can help it. :D)

You've already formed Sulfur Hexafluoride, which is apparently a potent greenhouse gas which reacts violently with lithium. So if you were SMgF, you could probably get that kind of explosion from the magnesium.
There are three different manganese (Mn) fluorides, and a few for Molybdenum (Mo), but none of them strike any particularly interesting chords. And, er... Md, Mt, and Mc are all trans-uranic artificial elements; at that point you wouldn't care about the fluorine, because you're now a nuclear explosion.
I think SMgF is probably the most interesting, chemically-speaking; all three elements react with each other, so it'd be a sort of pot-luck soup of SF6 (greenhouse gas), MgF2 (anti-reflective coating that eats your bones), and MgS (a salt... that gives off horribly toxic H2S if it gets wet). And if they don't react, you've got the stink of sulfur, the white flames of magnesium, and the eats-your-bones of fluorine. What's not to like???

You're very familiar with the horrors of dihydrogen oxide, of course. Perhaps less well known, Ignition! is back in print! It's a history of the exciting world of rocket fuel chemistry, with an intro by none other than Isaac Asimov himself.
I was very excited by the thought of being a δ allotrope, but "J" is absent from the periodic table, and "et" is a hard digraph to get in too.

Pronounced 'delta-J-you-li-ERRRRRRRT'. (As my wife keeps pointing out, English accents tend to drop Rs everywhere anyway.)
Erbium is a lanthanide, but not a notably horrible one. Tellurium is a mildly toxic pseudo-oxygen... I mean, you've got Uranium, which is the usual bad news, but after that the worst thing is Lithium, which might burn a bit.
Compared to Nesh's version, which has Astatine at its core, and has blown up before I even finished the sentence. ^_^

I mean, boom, definitely - PHOBOS is boom all by himself, with phosphorus spontaneously igniting, and everything that's not Boron joining in. The added hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur from ThOMoSH will just make that bigger.
But thorium and moly-b are just heavy metals. Thorium's mildly radioactive, so the smoke will mutate you, but moly is pretty boring.
On the other hand, sulfur being there means you'll get all kinds of sulfates, -ides, and others, which are probably all toxic. So that's fun!

Triholmium (HoHoHo).
You have to ask yourself: why wouldn't you want to be radioactive? Particularly when the non- version involves compounds of neon, which is a bit tricky to pull off. ... unlike Einsteinium-Holmium compounds, obviously, those are childs' play. :D
PHOBOS... based on the MtG thing, phosphorus is a great start, because elemental P comes in a whole range of colours. White, yellow, red, violet, brown, and black are known, plus white phosphorus glows green. It's a whole rainbow!
You'll be pleased(?) to know I have tried, but can't make HO2PBS into an actual chemical structure. Sadly.

... I guess you must be a mixture. And that means I can refer to the world's foremost authority on chemistry, nay, on science as a whole:
What If? is an excellent book which I highly recommend. Down on page 35, xkcd's Randall sets out to answer the question:
What would happen if you made a periodic table out of cube-shaped bricks, where each brick was made of the corresponding element?
Working through your name, in order of atomic number, these are his comments:
-The cube of hydrogen would rise upward and disperse, like a balloon without a balloon.
-The... nitrogen drift[s] around, slowly dispersing.
-[No specific comment on Molybdenum. It's pretty stable stuff.]
-[Actually no comment on Holmium, either. It apparently changes colour depending on lighting conditions, from yellow to red.]
So far, so good, but Es is a 7th-row element:
-[On the sixth row] you would die from what we might call "extremely acute radiation poisoning" - that is, you would be cooked.
The seventh row would be much worse.
[...]
Unfortunately for our project, the transuranic elements don't vanish quietly. They decay radioactively. And most of them decay into things that also decay. A cube of any of the highest-numbered elements would decay within seconds, releasing a tremendous amount of energy.
The result wouldn't be like a nuclear explosion - it would be a nuclear explosion.
...
At this point, I was going to reveal that you actually have an ace up your sleeve that might save you. Holmium, you see, is an aggressive neutron scavenger - it's actually used to poison nuclear reactors, to stop the chain reaction from running. So I was thinking it would dampen the explosion for you.
Except... Einsteinium decay isn't a chain reaction. It's just an everything-explodes-at-once reaction. So while the Ho would probably cut down on some of the elemental shrapnel, the Es is still gonna just go boom. :)
(Now, if I had the Ho, it would really help with my Uranium and Radon. Actually, Indium can fulfil the same purpose... but I've got the same Es as you, so I'm going to go boom anyway.)

You've managed to just about stay stable with HIErONYMoS, but GeRaUBrAt is stuffed with no less than three radioactive elements, plus a liquid element... plus, appropriately enough, Germanium. So I guess it's a gamma-radiating soup of Germanness.

TaWISTeY is Tantalum-Tungsten-Iodine-Sulfur-Tellurium-Yttrium.
Straight away, I can tell you that Yttrium compounds cause lung disease, and that it will probably bond with either iodine or sulfur. Tantalum and Tellurium form quasicrystal structures - a worrying concept which is sort of like the equivalent of pi in symmetry: they are ordered, structured, but not in a repeating pattern. Tungsten, of course, is there to add weight, but will also happily bond with the Iodine if Yttrium doesn't want it. It's probably going to be toxic.
But! At least you're not radioactive or likely to blow up. ^_^
