Egregoros

@vii they're cold to the touch

@benis_redux @vii just like me!

@vii mostly because they are resistive to corrosion and these two properties are related.

@vii our attraction to them is from genetic memory from our ancient ancestors who were more advanced than we are now before their society collapsed

@newt Oh I didn’t think about this, thank you.

Copper oxidizes pretty easily
@newt @vii

@vii the gods told us their value by shininess, and let us figure it out

@Lars @vii yeah we were genetically engineered to mine gold

@newt @vii well, silver isn't

@vii Not bismuth

Because we're supposed to be connected to the earth and the natural flow of energy and this is our genetic memory speaking with words we no longer can interpret?

Also, resemblance to the two major celestial bodies all humans readily observe.

@vii Those elements where considered attractive long before humans understood conductance.

@pwm @benis_redux @vii you have warm hands sir

@joey Yes, that’s exactly what I said.

I think there’s something interesting about it but I’m not gonna say blood memory. It is evidence of the anthropic principle and grounds for a created universe.

@f0x @benis_redux @vii that's a salacious lie!

@vii gemmy playdough, everything else stays broken
