  Erosion is largely done by sediment being transported by the water I believe. The same principle is used in cutting water jets, it isnt the water pressure that cuts things, the water is a medium for abrasive materials

    This is also how they cut rocks in ancient egypt I believe? Not with water, mind you, but would use a pretty mediocre if not useless saw but would drop sand in there, so it was actually the sand cutting the rock

      I’m tired of this human-centric revisionist history. It completely devalues the contributions of hard working aliens.

      Yep! The would use a saw that often had a blade made of string, like a bow, but would but gritty, sandy water in the hole they were cutting to slowly grind it away. I think they would also use “dull” copper saws (don’t quote me on that one though)

      Yep! Thought Emporium posted a video where he showed off the techniques that humans could have used if the aliens never returned their calls.

    I think water by itself can randomly break a few loosely bound atoms off the surface of anything. But the rate of that dissolution is dwarfed by the wear effects of the sediment being transported by the water, which is the primary material remover.

    As my compatriot elucidated, when we were wee morons of damn near adult age, “I could keep stabbing this pole with this piece of metal, and after many eons of stabbing, this pole would come down!”

    So… why don’t those abrasive materials destroy the hair in the drain?? Explain yourself

      Because you don’t flush enough sand down your shower drain.

  Eventually, water always wins. But that eventually can take a lot longer than we have patience for

    Water is also lazy though, and will go wherever is easiest. And that frequently means exactly where you don’t want it to go.

  Hair is pretty tough, just see how easily it dulls steel blades

    This genuinely just improved my outlook on buying new blades

    I think micro-rusting does the damage here. I oiled a cheap disposable-head razor after every use and the blades were still sharp enough over a year later when the rubber/silicone flex point (hinge?) fell apart.

      I use the classic double edge blades, dirt cheap and rinsing them with hot water is enough to make mine last for quite a while.

      I’ve heard some ppl submerge their razors in Isopropanol to combat rust and soap buildup… Haven’t tried that yet.

  Hair blocks water. Rock breaks hair. Water cuts rock.

  Thousands to millions of years vs a few weekends, it’s about the same right?

    The thing is, hair is way stronger against erosion than rocks.

    You need bacteria, or to cook it in some geothermal activity.

  because how much force the water is hitting it matters, you can just cut your drainage pipe in half if you use those water blades.

  Pour 5 gallons into the Grand Canyon, and you’d get about the same effect.

  source
• DwellerVortex@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I guess it’s because of the water force. Water tend to has stronger force in nature place than in a pipe.
