2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I have been married for 20 years, after 9 years of being together. Engagement rings are not traditional where I live, but wedding rings are. We bought titanium rings for less than 100 euros each. No stones, just the metal. Titanium is way cooler than gold or platinum too. They make reconnaisance planes out of it!
Where are you from?
Sounds weird but I collect titanium objects. They are so good.
I have 500ml and 1000ml camping pots. A titanium frying pan. My favourite is my titanium bong. You can drive over it with a truck and it can be cleaned perfectly by throwing it into the coals of a campfire. I've broken so many glass bongs over the years and this one is indestructible and can be carried anywhere at just 100g.

I have never seen titaniuw cookware. Is it any good in terms of frying? Do you season a titanium pan in the way you would with cast iron?
It's not possible to season titanium. It is indestructible and soaks up nothing
No I wouldn't say it's very good for frying. I make pancakes on the trail in the pan with lots of olive oil (more than i would use at home, trying to get calories while long distance hiking)
I use the titanium pots for things like mac and cheese, beans and rice, instant potatoes, or even just tea/coffee
I have a jetboil nonstick pan that I still use more than the titanium honestly. I like to have pocket steaks on the first night of a hike
The main appeal to me with titanium is its weight and the fact that you can clean it by throwing it in the fire at the end of the night. In the morning you dump the ashes and it's completely sanitized and clean.
