        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?

      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

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

        Yeah, it’s been 15 years since I’ve taken oceanography, but the density of water is determined by its temperature.

          Density is certainly changeable in water with temperature, but density isn’t exactly the same thing as compression.

          TIL A waterjet cutter pressurizes the water to something like 90,000 psi and it gets about 14% more dense. I always thought those things just had the water highly pressurised, but not actually compressed.

            I want to posit that because water isn’t compressible at forces we experience commonly, it doesn’t mean it isn’t compressible. For 99.999% of the water rules we concern ourselves with water should be considered incompressible, but there are exceptions to every rule

        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.
