The phrase "I am rubber, you're glue; what sticks to me sticks to you" is a playful retort often used by children to deflect insults. It suggests that any negative comments directed at the speaker will bounce off them and stick to the person making the comment instead. Essentially, it conveys the idea of resilience and the notion that the speaker will not be affected by the negativity of others. It's a way to assert oneself while minimizing the impact of hurtful words.

How does temperature affect the adhesiveness of glue?

Temperature affects the adhesiveness of glues in different ways. YOU would have to specify WHICH glue to get a definitive answer. 'Glue' can mean many different products.


Is rubber transparent or opaque?

It can be either, depending on the type of rubber you mean.


Can rubber stand the cold?

If you drop a piece of rubber in liquid nitrogen, (in a dewar, where the liquid nitrogen does not boil that fast), then the rubber will be frozen. In that sense, the rubber will get hard and brittle. If by 'freeze' you mean the formal definition, which is to form actual crystals, as water does when it freezes, then the rubber won't freeze. You should know that when you drop the rubber into the liquid, the liquid will boil off very quickly for a while even though it's in a dewar. That's because heat will flow straight from the rubber into the liquid.


Can lightning burn rubber?

I believe you mean "Why doesn't rubber conduct electricity" Conductors share a property in that they have "loose" electrons where the electrons can move from one atom to the next. That's what electrical current is, the movement of electrons in a conductor. Rubber doesn't have these "loose" electrons and therefore will not conduct electricity. These materials are called insulators.


Is rubber a conductor?

No it is an extremely poor conductor, being thought of as a good insulator, but if electricity at a high enough voltage , and the rubber trying to protect the current from escaping is too thin, then the current can jump across the insulation gap. Fortunately the manufacturers of electric cables, switches, dynamos and other everyday products like electric kettles, light fittings, the wiring of a house or a car know very well how much insulation is needed in whatever they make.Workers involved with electrics will wear rubber shod boots, or stand on rubber mats, wear rubber gloves or other insulating materials, and why their tools are specially made; such as a screwdriver with a plastic handle, or wire cutters with insulated handles.If you mean a conductor of electricity then no its not
