My mother in-law is a lab scientist. She says this is accurate.

You don’t even know the half of it

I think they do know half of it.

Ah, it’s this time of the year again. linked-list (version 3)
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Does this work?
If you looped it or created a doubly linked list what would happen?
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Either perpetual motion, or a very wet desk, no in-between
reinei@lemmy.world 2 days ago
This particular version wouldn’t work because the exit point is not lower than the entry point so after a possible initial splash from the first glass the outside air would rush in from the top of the straw and thus push down the water to its own level again…
So sadly no singly linked lists without stairs!

My lab is pretty easy to guess, it’s either 18 MΩ water, 100% EtOH, or 16M HNO3. 66% chance it’s not acutely dangerous, not bad for a lab!
Rubisco@slrpnk.net 2 days ago
Sticky, Silky, and Danger Syrup! Sounds like a cool lab.
MataVatnik@lemmy.world 2 days ago
16M HNO3? Wouldn’t that be fuming?
Kroxx@lemm.ee 2 days ago
It’s technically like 15.7M , it’s the highest concentration you can get before you hit fuming (~70wt% iirc). Although anything you do with it after makes it fume like crazy anyway.

100% Full with 50% volume occupied by Dihydrogen monoxide molecules and 50% volume occupied by a mixture of molecules in gas form, colloquially refer as “air”, which contains, according to the statistical data recorded by analyzing the gas molecules in the air in the Earth’s Atmosphere, 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other trace gases.

Ahh found that label!:
99.985% Pure.
Nitrogen (N₂): 39%
Oxygen (O₂): 10.5%
Argon (Ar): 0.465%
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 0.02%
Water (H₂O): 50%

I thought the half full, half empty thing. Was about the flow of water. If you’re emptying the glass, at some point the glass will be half empty. If you fill the glass, at one point the glass will be half full.

It’s a thought experiment with a static partly filled glass of water, it isn’t in a process. It is intended to show the different ways of describing the amount of water.

After a long romp, a fairly new g/f went into my kitchen, grabbed a 1 gal bottle of white vinegar from the fridge, poured herself a glass and tried to chugged it while I was still in bed recovering. -She had the nerve to think I tried to poison her (for half a minute)!
Read and use labels. lol

Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge? I keep the gallon jug in a cupboard and smaller container just on the counter

MataVatnik@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Loool, and do you keep sodium cyanide in your spice cabinet too?
madthumbs@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Probably a good idea for the winter since fresh apricot seeds would be scarcer. j/k
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
How much vinegar do you use???
madthumbs@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s good for toilet bowl cleaner, weed killer (including poison ivy), wiping down a large cutting board (not used for meat), fruit and veg wash, descaling / removing water marks, rainbow stains or chrome / nickel residue in pans, it softens fabrics if added to laundry, is used for mayonnaise, salad dressings, sticky rice, deodorizing, and combined with baking soda has been the only thing that worked for a clogged drain. It’s also cheap in the gallon size and practically free for people on SNAP. (a lot)

That beaker does not look half full to me. Many like 1/3rd full, or at least somewhere between that and half full.

Literalist: The volume of the container is ~50% water.
saltesc@lemmy.world 2 days ago
There’s no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn’t a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I’ll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver’s licence…

Engineer: the glass is twice as big as in needs to be.
CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s not ‘is the glass half full or half empty’.
The question is ‘why is the glass?’
Once you know this, the first question is easy to answer.
