I don't think we should be giving the cat uranium
Ex-fucking-cuse me? I thought this was america?!??
urnium*
I feel like there should be a hint about the periodic table or at least using the word element.
We're in "science memes"
And my dumb ass was trying to understand what golad is
Goauld is an alien parasite in Stargate. That's where my brain went.
You're not alone. Just like with the Goauld!
totally thought I was on a different community
weird how in any other place I would never have figured it out
Damn, I was going for "Urum".. So close!
Same here
Uranium?
I'm more of a Plutonium kind of guy. But we can still be friends.
This town is big enough for the two of us
May not be too big if two plutonium guys were to meet there though.
No, we can share
I wnt gold
You're probably dehydrated then
I agree! Wnt-1 truly is worth gold, we wouldn't survive without this crucial developmental hormone :)))))))))))))
You should relabel it "Periodically, I want gold but the A is silent."
Well, how does it feel to wnt?
helium helium
I thought the joke was that you just wanted gold lol
Was trying to figure out what urum (Aurum/gold without the A) could mean, then I remember the abbreviation...
Aww, shucks
I didn't realise the joke until I read the community.
So, uranium?
No u
This is a tungsten joke
