F10st p0st! 185.36.194.156 04:45, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- First explanation! Hopefully it's fine... (also, nice TCMP reference.)--Utdtutyabthsc (talk) 06:00, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, was that a deliberate reference? Why isn't it spelled the same way? What does "F10st" even mean? Elizium23 (talk) 06:58, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- Go read the comment section for 3135: Sea Level if you want to see more of this. K9Dragon23, or RainWingSquares (talk) (talk) 00:40, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
- Semi-deliberate, but more spirit of the law than letter of the law since early internet trolling is (was?) a common theme here anyways lol; the 0 was a typo 185.36.194.156 10:04, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- It is though getting a little tiresome and repeatable that someone has begun writing first post on all talk pages... Please stop it ;-) --Kynde (talk) 13:19, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

- How about next time we troll for 3rd post instead (game theory time) 185.36.194.156 09:09, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm all for carbon dating, but I wouldn't want one to marry my sister. 24.123.140.66 13:52, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- I also was expecting that kind of pun when I saw the title. Barmar (talk) 15:10, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- You'd rather she settled down with a nice silica-based lifeform? 82.13.184.33 15:20, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
- I figured that carbon dating was the process by which paleontologists analyze prospective mates to determine their chronological compatibility. Jordan Brown (talk) 01:36, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- That's a dating platform exclusively for archeologists and soda producers 195.65.24.115 (talk) 06:51, 13 February 2026 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Is the skeleton being studied a cosmologist? 2605:A601:80AF:4000:2A74:9789:42F0:2275 14:35, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
LAST C0MMENT! 164.134.137.45 12:02, 11 February 2026 (UTC) (redbuns)
Ummm... if we are talking about cosmologists, shouldn't the tools be metal, since all non-hydrogen, non-helium elements are metals in astronomy? 18.117.72.81 (talk) 14:29, 11 February 2026 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
Actually, if you cool down helium enough it becomes a liquid, and if you increase the pressure enough it becomes a solid. But it needs to be very cold and high pressure. 185.220.101.37 23:30, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- An episode of Mythbusters investigated the "killer icicle" trope and found it to have some merit. Now to freeze helium, and get it solid, and somehow wield it as a tool, requires quite a technology stack, doesn't it! Elizium23 (talk) 23:41, 11 February 2026 (UTC)
- Including, probably, some very good gloves! 81.179.199.253 00:29, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
