  And in a similar but completely different way, the fish are being added to massive bodies of water. Home aquariums are minute in comparison, so they can’t balance out chemical swings as easily and are much more prone to higher levels of nitrites and other toxic chemicals. The larger the body of water, the more stable the water quality.

    So what I hear you saying is I need a bigger aquarium…

      You always need a bigger aquarium

      You could probably air drop one goldfish into a 100 gallon tank and it’d be fine (assuming it survived the fall).

  something i love about Lemmy is that on the drop of a hat someone is willing to calculate the “surface area to fish ratio”

    Problem is, you almost never know if that’s actually true or complete bullshit.

    It seems plausible, but killing virgins for rain also seemed plausible back then in the 70s.

      But it has rained, hasn’t it? Smug look

      This is why arguing with idiots is impossible to win.

      The 70s was a wild time.

  The math actually works, and is quite simple. Just assume the fish is a sphere

    I can only assume the fish goes in the square hole.

  I’m confused though. Don’t people use this to talk about how small things like bugs can fall from a large height and be uninjured, but large things like a human or elephant will be injured if falling from a height? I feel like what you’re saying is backwards to what the internet has told me.

    The person you replied to only spoke about sudden change in temperature, not falling from height.

    It ain’t the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop…
