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

      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

    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.

          Pure water isn’t a good conductor, it needs other stuff mixed in to be a good conductor. Not sure why they deleted their comment. They weren’t the one being pedantic, they were complaining that other people in this thread had no sense of humor for calling out the mistake in the original pic.

      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 be some other thing added to the picture and taking place til we forget and the whale sends their assistant to help Arthur step up the medium and expand his 'verse a few …mentions.

      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.
