Okay, but mine was funnier.
Comment on Octopus
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 months agoIt lives in water with salt. The average ocean pH value is 8.1. It’s a brain coated with a thin bit of goo.
My stomach is about 1.5 pH.
You could easily go through a waterslide, but if I change the water to be hydrochloric acid, you’re not gonna come out as fresh as you went in. And most skin on the face and body has a pH of between 4.7 and 5.75.

In addition, pH is a logarithmic scale, a pH of 3 is 10x more acidic than pH 4

Holy crap, I never knew that!

Genuine question: what is the point of logarithmic scales? Why can’t we have a linear scale of 3 to 30 instead of 3 to 4? A linear scale works perfectly fine in most cases (for example the Scoville scale which goes from something like 3 for a green pepper to 20 million for a reaper), so why can’t pH do the same?

Well, sure, but would you rather write that a substanc has a pH value of 11, or the absolute value, which is the hydrogen ion molar concentration, which would be 0.00000000001?
