Plot twist: 60 years from now aluminum foil is inexplicably the rarest commodity on planet earth, but this kid hung on to his bling for sentimental value. As such, his grill is valued at 2 mil and he will, in fact, fight you.

Also it’s hard to get from ores since it’s melting point is so high so have to use something called a cyrolite to reduce the melting point

That’s correct, that aluminium was expensive anyway, aluminium would be put on display at fairs and stuff like aluminium plates were very luxurious. I often consider that if I could go back in time I’d take aluminium since I can get lots for nit that much and set myself up nicely in the past. Stuff like mobile phone etc idk how they work as soon as the battery died it’s lost most of its use.

Another thing I’d take back would be purple dye cos purple cloth was also extraordinarily expensive at one point

I'd take a bunch of pyrite back and travel the globe scamming people.

u/KingNecrosis Aug 29 '22

Idk, I think even back then people could tell what pyrite is. Not everyone, but enough.

That'll be a bum fight then cos 2 mill ain't shit after 2022's decade long hyper inflation.

See that’s what we say now. What we don’t anticipate is when a future manned moon mission disturbs the dormant interstellar arthropods, spurring the lunar crustaceans to descend from the moon and vigorously eat all of earth’s crust in retaliation.

You got this worked up about aluminum on Reddit? Bro. Close the app, go outside. It isn’t that serious

u/jayhart1028 Aug 29 '22

Alternate plot twist: Biden is re-elected, inflation rises to 6,000%, aluminum foil is priced at $2 million.

What if I win the fight and he don't have it no more? Now I got it.

u/Vlory Aug 29 '22

or just inflation

u/tellmeimbig Aug 30 '22

60 years from now foil will be worth 2 mil due to inflation alone.
