I recently received an ad for a Foreverspin top (I know you've seen them) that is constructed of "Humanium". Now, I've seen them in silver, titanium, stainless steel, copper and aluminum, but Humanium has to be some kind of joke.
Well, I Googled "Humanium Metal" and found the following website:
humanium
It seems that in 2016, some folks in Sweden (of course) got together and started marketing metal salvaged from destroyed "illegal" firearms. Here is a statement from their site:
"Humanium Metal by IM is a new material made of recycled metal from gun destruction programs which are then made available for commercial production.
All products made with Humanium Metal create new sources of funding for victims and projects aiming to rebuild conflict-torn societies.
Humanium Metal will generate local income generation, contributing to long-term positive effects on economic realities and prosperity for affected societies.
A Humanium Metal-based product not only delivers vital financial support to affected individuals and countries, it also carries a strong ethical message.
Consumers who purchase Humanium Metal products, will be part of the solution to one of the world's greatest problems."
Are you impressed, yet???
Anyway, I thought corrupt governments and dictatorships were the world's greatest problems, but it seems that I was wrong.
I wonder if IM would sell any of their new metal to Smith & Wesson or Colt? After all, if it weren't for gun manufacturers...they wouldn't have a product to sell, in the first place.
