The water would react similarly to alcohol. Yes, the puddle would be bigger but it would evaporate faster.
look…I’m just glad roaches don’t have sharp teeth and spiders can’t fly.
let’s stop while we’re ahead
When some spiders are born, sometimes hundreds at a time, they cast little parachute webs and ride the wind to wherever they might go.
Palmetto bugs are like mean flying roaches that bite.
You’ll never escape the horrors of the beauty in nature.
Let’s stop
while we’re ahead“Palmetto bugs” are just roaches, period. That name refers to either the Florida woods cockroach or the American cockroach.
This reminds me of the person that suggested in a response to a request for ADHD “life-hacks” where they would wet one of their socks before starting a specific high-importance task and could not take it off until the specified task was completed.
That is a weapons-grade life hack right there.
Goddamn. That’s some diabolical hack. I might give it a try.
I see, quite similar to the ol’ light-your-hair-on-fire-to-motivate-yourself-to-shower trick. Clever!
I read that in Meatwad’s voice.
made me reread it
For a liquid to be a liquid, rather than a gas, it needs to be held together by intermolecular forces. Which means it will have some amount of surface tension. I therefore dismiss this hypothetical as physically unrealistic! :P
Aha! But languical constructs allow and do allow hyperboles! So it could be argued that the colleague asked for the minimum allowed by our bindings law!
I request a motion to dismiss your dismissal :>
supercritical helium does some really weird shit, I’d call this one plausible.
Superfluid. It can be supercritical, but superfluid is the special thing for helium.
Supecritical fluids are more like a gas than a liquid. Their lack of surface tension means they’ll diffuse throughout whatever container you put them in, so they can’t really be “poured” like a liquid can. They’re actually a pretty good example of why liquids need surface tension to be liquid.
I think they meant to say superfluid helium.
that’s a pretty good point, it’s literally trapped between being a liquid and a gas. If this was BattleBots, they’d let it compete once and then ban it.
“Trapped between liquid and gas” is kind of the opposite of what a supercritical fluid is. It’s more that gas and liquid states are “trapped” in a region of phase space, while supercritical fluids exist in the place where the demarcation between the two no longer exists (which is usually a far larger region than where it does).
You do some pretty weird shit.
Oh, snaaaaaap.
Unless its a hydrocarbon product, which can (and does) spread over surfaces it can’t mix with/soak into in single molecules thick sheets.
Did someone say oxygen not included?
We’re 60% water and not really water-tight as it is.
Only Rick Sanchez can make a floor that level, and then only 1 square meter.
Season 8 is really good so far. They’re taking the stories in a new direction that I really like. I think Justin Roiland leaving might have actually been a positive for the writing.
Would it still be possible to have a shower?
Yes. But you probably wouldn’t be alive.
It would instead instantly make it extremely obvious how uneven my floor is.
Bold of you to assume my floor is level.
The floor couldn’t be level, it would have to have a spherical diameter equal to the distance of your floor to the centre mass of the Earth.
Not only that, but level with 2 micrometers tolerance is something only specialized CNC milling workbenches achieve
Yeah, that guy must have a really flat floor
I hate when I spill some oil or soapy water and it does this
At 2 micrometers, it’s going to evaporate too fast for there to be a
puddlethin film of water.Oh! The humidity!
Well if water didn’t have its unique properties of cohesion and adhesion we likely wouldn’t be here anyways.
if we lived in a high pressure environment, this totally would happen.
