     @EllisDee @Nimbius666 @splitshockvirus now imagine that metal as a penny. Those properties won't make a good penny. A coin should never be made of a soft metal.

     @Tony @Nimbius666 @splitshockvirus the connecting rods on top fuel dragsters are made out of aluminum because it has a very high shock tolerance.
     
     and those things have like 14,000 hp

     @splitshockvirus @Tony because for 50 years a zinc foundry in America used to persistently lobby congress for their continued manufacture.

     @splitshockvirus There's no way shutting them off costs more than continuing to make them. I don't actually know of any use case except for banks.
