see, THIS? YOUR TAGS, @ithrowshoesatconservatives ??? THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT:
#any industry related to molten metal will make you have religious experiences#i've worked within six feet of an open vat of molten aluminum#the scary thing about aluminum is it doesn't even glow#it's this silvery liquid that looks so incredibly touchable#i've walked along paths where they bring melt trucks with massive crucibles that drip beads of aluminum everywhere#and the ground is studded with a million tiny stars of aluminum that never come off because they're melted onto the concrete#they have these forges for scrap that are twenty feet tall and glow orange all across the inside and they dump whole bales in at once#and when a fresh bale goes in the forge spews flames that lick at the (thankfully fireproof) ceiling#i once stood between the plates of a die press the size of a living room#and realized 'if this closed on me what came out would not be recognizable as a human being'#i've seen the face of god and it's molten metal
