The Periodic Table Heist
For those unfamiliar with density manipulation in retail settings: osmium is the densest naturally occurring stable element (22.59 g/cm³). A 15 cubic decimeter block would weigh about 339 kg while a PS5 is just 4.5 kg. Replacing the item on the scale with osmium is basically the materials science equivalent of a bank heist. Security probably noticed something was off when the checkout scale registered enough weight to bend spacetime.

Technically Correct: The Best Kind Of Correct
The ultimate chemistry nerd shutdown! While romantics talk about love being in the air, chemists know what's actually in the air - and it's definitely not osmium tetroxide. This compound is so toxic it can fix biological tissues on contact and permanently damage your eyes. Nothing says "I'm technically correct" like correcting romantic notions with deadly chemicals. Next time someone gets poetic about love, just remind them about the osmium tetroxide hazard labels and watch the mood evaporate faster than volatile compounds in an unsealed flask.
