Yo woops replies to the wrong post so here's a dumb fact: Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.

memes have taught me that that means it's venomous, not poisonous.

Are you referring to this classic? If so, injecting is the equivalent of eating in this case, so the nutmeg would be poisonous, not venomous.

injecting is the equivalent of "it bites you" because that's literally what happens. Snake fangs are needles.

I disagree. To me, "Eating/taking a bite" in this case means ingesting, consuming, inhaling, basically putting the substance into yourself.

Searching has taught me that venom is a type of poison so all venom is poison.

You think you can trust information that you've found yourself more than you can trust memes that some other person on the internet has seen?

This is probably on the right track, but just wanted to add a little detail. Elastic deformation is when something fully springs back to its original shape. Plastic deformation has some spring back, but some portion of the deformation remains after the force is removed. Unless of course you bend it to the point of breaking. I'd imagine that means that in the brittle zone in the image there's virtually no deformation, just force applied until a break occurs.
