This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not in the purity needed to make semiconductors.
It's refined. It isn't found like that.
Silicon is not a rock so saying that silica is not rare is irrelevant to the "rare rock" line.
Silica is indeed refined but the rocks that they refine to get the pure silica are indeed rare rocks. They only really refine the pure silicate that already start with super low impurities. relatively speaking. And the low trace elements impurities is what makes them rare.
Jesus Christ, Marie, they're minerals!
Thank you for the information. This meme always bothered me, so glad to have the info.
