Don’t forget the sigils. If you don’t align the right rocks with the right sigils then it won’t work
Fun fact: Lithium is named after the Greek word “lithos”, meaning “stone”. It was named so as it was first found in ores. Lithium is a critical element in batteries. Therefore, it isn’t wrong to say that your magical glass slab sucks energy from magical stones to show you pictures of hot femboys.
Mine just shows me pictures of hot masculine guys. This isn’t a bug, though… It’s a feature.
The rock isn’t really “flattened”, its more like being melted, turned into a crystal and sliced
Don’t forget the saucy photos they take of it.

take ofprint on it.
Sounds a lot like flattening with extra steps to me
Sounds a lot like magic and alchemy to me.
Not just melted, the rock is first dissolved and distilled. Then it is melted.
Then gassed repeatedly.
Never realized I’d share so much in common with it.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Clarke or Azimov, can’t remember which titan of SF said it.

Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln
The vampire hunter?
Neat!
It was Clarke - Azimov had other highly relevant quotes though, particularly the one on anti-intellectualism…

AI in 10k years:
If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.
The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.
Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn’t ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it’s your problem to deal with, not theirs.
Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn’t quite the same
Wouldn’t it be more like sand or glass instead of rock?
Both are made from rock
Rock and Stone
What’s the difference?
Legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning
