  Don’t even need to go that far. History has shown us that just throwing a non-radioactive rock at someone is a weakness

    I argue that the entire history of weapon development has been “figure out better way to throw better rock”.

      It’s funny when you learn that an ‘advanced weapon’ in hypothetical interplanetary warfare is ‘fling an asteroid into their planet’.

      For conventional weapons, sure. But I don’t think your description fits flamethrowers, sonic, or laser weaponry.

    You could even argue that throwing rocks is the human superpower.

  Most dudes are weak against any rock. Rocks are very good at inducing skull fractures if you’re not Superman, and stone knives were a thing, too. There’s a reason why stone tools were popular for literally millions of years.

  Don’t quote me, but that’s pyrite or chalcopyrite, right?

    Chalcopyright.

  According to some evolutionary scientists, the art of throwing rocks is the reason our brains needed to get so large. Here is one source:

  I would have chosen arsenic as human weakness

    Nah, if you hold arsenic in my general vicinity, I’ll feel extremely emotionally uncomfortable, but physically fine.

      Now I’m thinking there has to be an element where all isotopes are radioactive, because uranium doesn’t radiate all the time

  That picture is NOT Uranium:

  Uranium is a chemical element; it has symbol U and atomic number 92. It is a silvery-grey metal in the actinide series of the periodic table.

    That picture is uranium though? In the picture it has yellow oxides forming on the outside.

    In the same way that if someone posted a picture of a rusty piece of iron, we’d still say it was iron, even though iron is a silvery-grey metal, but in the picture, it would be reddish/brown.

      I did not know that!

  I never claimed to have super powers.

  It’s really bugging me that the title is missing a word. It doesn’t track with the music.

    I noticed it as well. “If I go crazy then will you still call me super man?”
