What is my slime?

Okay, I can provide some general information about slime in Markdown format with relevant links.

Slime is a fascinating substance, often described as a non-Newtonian fluid. This means its viscosity changes depending on the stress applied to it. Under low stress, it flows like a liquid. Under high stress, such as a quick impact, it acts more like a solid.

Key properties of slime include:

• Viscosity: Its resistance to flow, which varies with pressure.
• Elasticity: Its ability to return to its original shape after deformation. Some slimes are more elastic than others.
• Texture: Slime can have different textures based on its ingredients, such as fluffy, buttery, or glossy.
• Non-Newtonian Fluid: This is the category it falls under, where viscosity isn't constant.

Slime is typically made from a polymer (like polyvinyl alcohol in glue) and a borate ion (often from borax). The borate ions cross-link the polymer chains, creating the slime's unique consistency.
