BIGGUY4x4This is Titanium so it is as light or lighter than wood

The_idiotAs a dude who has handed titanium in things he's own, and as a mechanical engineer major, titanium is still quite heavy. Density which is mass per volume, which can somewhat be interpreted as weight per volume, though from an engineering and most science disciplines, is not correct because mass is not weight, but on the planet earth they can be used somewhat interchangeably. So the density of pure titanium is about 4.5 grams per centimeter cubed. That is a cube of titanium with all sides 1 cm wide and high will have a mass of 4.5 grams (you can call it weight). Almost all wood has a density of 1 gram or less per cubic cm meaning a cube of the same size as that titanium cube will weigh 1 gram or less. It is impossible for titanium of the same shape and size as something made of wood to be lighter than the wood version unless it was hallow or something. Even aluminum which is almost half the density of titanium (2.7 g/cm^3) is heavier than wood. And from personal experience being Asian and regularly using wood chopsticks and I owning a pair of aluminum chopsticks, that I don't use the aluminum ones for the exact reasons that BIGGUY4x4 stated. I'm afraid it would go double for the titanium ones (pun intended... cuz titanium is double the density... get it haha... I'll leave now)

johnlam303As a dude who has a tremor those heavier chopsticks are better for me because they provide me more stability. And I also hate the feeling of wood and can get goosebumps because of it. So for me atleast they are a win win. Either way those titanium chopsticks are bascially only to show off but that doesn't mean that they aren't practical. Only a matter to get used to it.

BIGGUY4x4I have some very light ones that have knurling on the ends that I use all the time. I think I got them at 99 Market.

johnlam303Dude means funny dresser and as engineer your comment is incoherent.
Weiht is English for mass whereas heft is English for force.
will -> shall
hallow -> hollow
It's rather easy to make hollow metal chopsticks, as there are plenty of baseball bats (banned by officials as they're too good).

alysdexiaRelax friend. I was just making sure that people know titanium can't be lighter than wood and that I agreed with the original comment. Only reason I mentioned being an engineering major was because it sounds more credible than just spouting densities. In no way was this a "true engineering analysis" or whatever. Also from everything I've learned in physics and my engineering courses, mass in not the same as weight. Weight is a force produced by mass multiplying acceleration caused by gravity. Mass is universal and unchanging anywhere in the universe while gravity and gravitational acceleration changes even on the surface of earth therefore weight changes. Mass in g and kg tend to be used as weight but they are not the same. I brought this up because I thought it was a interesting fact to share. Yes I made typos but this again wasn't an analysis, it was just me clearing up a straight untrue statement (wood is always lighter than a same shape and size piece of titanium). Yes I made typos but at the time I didn't quite care, besides it seems I wasn't alone, "... and as engineer your comment is incoherent." I'm aware that they could make hollow chopsticks but judging by the spec sheet these aren't hollow ("weight" of 241g, quite hefty wouldn't you say? Ba-dum tisssss). Lastly, I'm an engineering major not an engineer. I haven't earned that title yet, still gotta work hard for that.

alysdexiaScientist may not be the most cunning linguist but they are in no way dumb. I have given you context to why I think the way I do and you have yet to do so. So yes I think I will remain ignorant. Brainwashing it maybe but very important brainwashing, least more so than your charade. By the way what does your argument have to do with the product? Mines was to make it know that these are not lighter than wood. I would like to respect your opinion from one scholar to another but you've shown nothing but disrespect to my discipline. Let us not forget you, also, made a grammar error in your previous comment so quite the impressive linguist you are.

alysdexia"...and as engineer your comment is incoherent." To summarize I will simply quote DJ Khaled, "Congratulations, you played yourself." You can continue to pull definitions and they will continue to mean nothing to me until I see a source because as you mentioned, my arguments are common knowledge, your's is a bit more sketchy. That said I'm not saying what you're saying is untrue. I'm simply saying my argument isn't wrong, weight is not mass, it just happens to be used incorrectly by those outside the higher professions. If you like we can continue but this is paramount to arguing if the sky looks blue or black. The answer to that lies in both the situation and the eye of the beholder. The real question, once more, is what does this have to do with the product and why are you wasting your time? Science is entrenched and you're not likely to convince me, a person who is deeply invested in a profession that deals with many topics of science, otherwise.

alysdexiaYour tantrum has yet to convince and it likely never will. Like you said my statements were based on common knowledge, you on the other hand are working with some not so common knowledge, you may potentially be bullshiting some if these definitions, nevertheless I'm no longer entertained. I was already calling bullshit when you made that grammar mistake that I pointed out twice now, kind of discredits your entire facade seeing as you're trying to convince me you know English to some masterful level. It was honestly fun watching you make a fool of yourself three comments in a row and and blatantly ignore the holes I tore in your argument but now I grow tired of talking with someone who pretends to know words but can't seem to use them to form a properly convincing opinion. You've yet to counter any of my points beyond saying "it's English" and blatantly ignoring others. Yes indeed I have made errors in this conversation but this is not a formal piece of work and I don't care. I'm not the one claiming to be a to know English at an intimate level. To bring up a point that you keep ignoring, what does this have to do with the chopsticks after all this is a forum to discuss the product? I won't be wasting anymore effort unless you have something to share about the chopsticks. Please don't play yourself anymore by throwing tantrums about words on a forum about chopsticks. It's Petty.
