Your face is in a good electrical conductor
General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It actually is. Do you even nerd, bro?

Dissolves everything? Hydrophobic and halogenated compounds would like to have a word.

you are not adding enough water, add more

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

I can’t see the thing matching your description.
MisterFrog@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’ve always hated “incompressible” when talking about fluids. It’s just shorthand for: doesn’t compress much under pressure.
In engineering unless you’re dealing with insane pressures, when something is “incompressible”, assuming it is is good enough.
But it’s still misleading so I don’t like it haha

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

“But water is a shitty electrical conductor” y’all are alergic to humour and it shows

I’ve noticed that the nerd meme communities here are just as, if not more, pedantic than the ones on reddit

The funny thing is people downvoting me when I’m literally a chemist

Some of us don’t want to feel superior, we just want to share.
Not me though. I’m better than all of you.

OG reddit was way more pedantic.

i came to see if it had been mentioned and then would have if it hadn’t
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Well now I want to know what they were being pedantic about…
yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 1 month ago
It is hilarious to be wrong, yes.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.

Polar vs. non-polar

Idk, have been statistically proven that everyone who come into touch with that material end up dying.
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com 1 month ago
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.

Along with the people pointing out conductivity.
Who says water is not compressible? Takes a lot of energy, but the big bang didn’t happen in a sea of water.
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 month ago
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.
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 month ago
To be fair, ive seen what the ocean can do to carbon fiber tubes. If it can do that and still not compress, its pretty damn incompressible.
Donjuanme@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, it’s been 15 years since I’ve taken oceanography, but the density of water is determined by its temperature.
sga@lemmings.world 1 month ago
most solids and liquids are practically incompressible (when comparing with gasses). there is a relationship between bulk compressibility, shear stress and youngs modulus for solids, which can be extended for liquids. It does not work for gasses

Didn’t Scottie invent this when the Enterprise had to transport a whale back to the future?
Chakravanti@monero.town 1 month ago
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 br some other thing added to the picture and taking place til we forget and the whale his assistance to send Arthur to step up the medium and expand his 'verse a few …mentions.

If temperature was permanently -50 °C water would be a good building material.

In the middle I was thinking “Woah, 4 MJ/m^3? That’s nearly the same as water!”
You got me, xD

Water actually has shitty electrical conductivity.

Just needs a lil salt

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)

But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?
Litebit@lemmy.world 1 month ago
why so salty?
