Boss: You can weld this right?

Me: No, that's aluminum, I cannot weld aluminum.

Boss: No this is alloy.

Me: Yes aluminum alloy.

Boss: Why can't you weld alloy?

Me: Aluminum dust is flammable we don't have any dust collection system and I literally don't know how to weld aluminum properly, either I can warp it, melt it or not penetrate properly.

Boss: But this is alloy?

Me: *points at casting markings* What do you think **AlSiMg** stands for?

Boss: How should I know?

Bro I'm going to explode
