Do your boys like having their tools disintegrate in their hands?

Happy belated labour day!
Most of the world celebrates on 1st of May, but we can have two days, why not.

Found the countryside kid.
The shocked ones are probably city people.

Nah, our humour and our everyday conversation is chock full of wordplay. Obviously it's hard to detect the humour if one doesn't speak the language. Humour is a nuanced thing anyways and also plays with cultural associations.

For example if I were with friends in a pub and only ordered one beer and someone asked me why and I replied: "I muss fei spare" , the text itself isn't funny
(I have to save money).
But it would be funny because I said it in a slight Swabian accent and because of the cultural association of Swabians being penny pinchers.
It wouldnt be hilarious mind you, just a little funny to spice up conversation. How would one translate or even understand that?

I'm sitting on the train by myself and cackling. I don't know why I find it so funny.

Besides the point, but: I have yet to see ai take jobs.

The misguided belief in ai is costing jobs.

But that's also pedantry from my part.

A brittle rock made of glitter. It breaks in this linear fashion and can be pound into sand by a mortar and pestle.

Anyone got any clues?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I found it in Romania and after searching for forums of minerals from Romania, I got a few other clues.

It isn't conclusive to me yet, but the possibilities are:

  • Pyrit
  • Mica
  • Schist
  • Nagyágit
  • Calaverit
  • Sylvanit

Of these, Mica and Sylvanit fit the best (imo).
