    I hope they tested the gold bars for e.g. tungsten rods.

    And i hope our national bank gets smart enough to follow that move.

        They do have a nice and close weight, but their radioactivity gives them away.

        Tungsten has a density of 19.25g/cm3. Compared to Gold with 19.32g/cm3, they are rather close. Uranium is a little less dense at 19.16g/cm3.

                No but seriously how did you do that? Did you upload a .gif as an image? This will open up an ocean of… Good use for me!

                  Bear in mind though, that your instance (in your case, lemmy.world) will bear the cost of storing your .gif, and lemmy.world doesn’t have ad revenue to pay for that like Reddit does. So use .gifs sparingly.

                  there should be a button to view the source of my comments, but basically:

                  ![alt text](imagesourcehtmllink)

                  for those of y'all who would like to skip the tutorial, skip it

                  if you include the ! it renders the image or gif (the link needs to be a direct path to the image, not just the page it’s on. it might take a little experimenting. it did for me) and if you don’t it just has the text and a link to the image.

                  without the !

                  first image: I NEED TUNGSTEN TO LIVE

                  with the !

                  i have been told if we add “hovertext” after the link (but still in the parens) we can add hovertext, but i haven’t experimented with nor figured it out yet so i can’t really advise you on it, sorry. there’s always bigger fish.
