I have. I scrubbed the rust off with steel wool. As long as you don't leave rusted iron against stainless steel for years, it's fine. And that's not what's happening here.

So… you’ve experienced stainless rusting first hand and yet claim it doesn’t rust…?

Stainless rusts, fucking hell lmfao.

It doesn’t matter that it’s not what’s happening, it rusts. It’s that simple, any imperfection from salt or iron oxide (from rocks in asphalt) is a place for rust to start.

The stainless steel didn't rust. The cast iron pan was accidentally left on the corner of the sink for a weekend with a little water under it. The rust wiped off very easily, because it was transfered from the iron into it, which is all that's happening as long as it's not left there for a significant amount of time.

The truck was driven in rain, with no snow or salt involved, and began rusting after 2 days. That's a low grade of stainless steel to rust that fast.

But you said stainless doesn’t rust and have now given two examples of it doing it… strange! Isn’t it?z

You said you had to use steel wool, and now it just wiped up? Wow that’s quite the difference. If it didn’t rust, why the steel wool to remove the rust…?

Full of fucking shit dude lmfao.

I've given no examples of how stainless steel can rust. You gave the example to start with that had something else rusting and touching stainless steel. High grade stainless steel will not rust after 2 days.

Stop trying to twist things to make your argument look better. It isn't working...

Stainless steel rusts quite easily when touched by other rusted metals….

You even provided an example, in a sink with a cast iron, that required removal with steel wool.

Im not twisting things lmfao, I’m using your own real world examples to show how stainless can and does rust. You have multiple people trying to explain this to you, and you’ve provided examples of it. Yet you still want to stick to your guns eh? Is this what flat earthers are like?

It didn't require steel wool, it just made the job faster. A green scrubby has done the same job. The stainless steel sink didn't rust just because it was touched by something rusty for 2 days. And it definitely doesn't rust just by holding water for 2 days.

You're now just twisting this into irrelevant bullshit. Have a nice day.

This truly is like talking to a flat earther lmfao.

Stainless rusts, you’ve experienced it, and are continuing to deny it, this is hilarious.

Bash Tesla for their shitty truck all you want, but don’t argue with science and reality lmfao.

This stainless could have been contaminated by tools used on ferrous steel (contains oxide) that will cause most grades of stainless to rust immediately. This is reality, not whatever shit you’re imagining in your head. Verify it if you want, but you’ve already argued with other users providing sources… so…. Yeah.
