        Fun fact, there are materials that dissolve better in fatty acids than water. For example, Menthol crystals extracted from Mint Oils will readily dissolve in other oils but is very picky about its water.

          If you think water is incompressible, you’re not trying hard enough.

              Just curious, have you watched the show with the same name as your account?

              I guess it’s for kids to help them deal with trauma. I downloaded it due to super high ratings, but I haven’t watched it yet (and might not; I don’t have or want kids, but I like having good stuff for friends with them)

                    Sort of. He was just carrying the AI's assistance. He was really good about ignoring all those obvious but totally invisible cameras. They would never have invented with it without the assistance. Or at least we wouldn't know about it or it would be some other thing added to the picture and taking place til we forget and the whale sends their assistant to help Arthur step up the medium and expand his 'verse a few ...mentions.

                      The problem with water is it's heavy af. We need a light water.

                              True, but we also tested many other materials across thousands of years and the death rate of contact with dihydrogen monoxide only exceeds the baseline death rate with immersion of the oral and respiratory sections of the visage. A property shared with most other substances, especially in liquid forms.

                                My oceanography textbook said so. You'd think the ocean people knew about water. Must be more propaganda from big compress to sell more compression.

                                Yeah, it's been 15 years since I've taken oceanography, but the density of water is determined by its temperature.

                                    Density is certainly changeable in water with temperature, but density isn't exactly the same thing as compression.

                                    TIL A waterjet cutter pressurizes the water to something like 90,000 psi and it gets about 14% more dense. I always thought those things just had the water highly pressurised, but not actually compressed.

                                          Pure water isn't a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren't the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.
