      Never heard that before, what’s the reasoning? Given that they contain metallic elements, have metallic properties, have metallic bonds, and many are colloquially referred to as metals, what makes you think they aren’t metals?

        1. I was kinda trolling

        2. They’re not Metals in the context of pure chemical elements

          Ah yeah of course it’s not an element, though I don’t think the original post was about the best elemental metal

            idk, I just assumed it at first, since alloys are usually supperior, so the best metal would be neither iron nor aluminium, but since anon’s fav metal was iron… you know
