This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

but whales like all sea creatures have high bodry salt content making the osmotic pressure difference small
Ok, so here's an Idea, have more salt in our fluids.
Great idea except we'd need another million years of evolution or more
irradiated reproductive cells go brrr
No, you're missing the point again, when fish first went land diving they drank salt water because of that there body would have already had more salt and so would there kidneys, we evolved the ability to drink fresh water, that is what took a million years.
I didn't comment elsewhere but from this incoherent comment it's clear you don't have the first clue what you're on about, or why I said a million years (evolving a major change like sea to land takes hundreds of millions or billions of years).
Ideas are good, but people contributing ideas that show they don't know anything at all about the topic, while insisting they're right, gets tiresome.
Or maybe you're still missing the point...
