The Density Of Democracy

The internet has spoken, and it wants a dense paperweight over practical technology. Tungsten (symbol W, atomic number 74) has a density of 19.3 g/cm³, making that 4-inch cube absurdly heavy—like carrying a small child in your palm. Scientists understand the appeal though. There's something deeply satisfying about objects that defy our weight expectations. It's the same reason we're drawn to black holes and neutron stars, just... you know... without the whole spaghettification thing. The fact that 16,000+ people voted for an impractical hunk of metal over something useful proves that humans will always choose novelty over necessity. Maybe we deserve the coming AI apocalypse after all.
