Water actually has shitty electrical conductivity.

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)

[-] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Never heard of it, but I'll check it out

But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?

Pure water isn't a good electrical conductor.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Your face isnt a good electrical conductor

[-] LostXOR@fedia.io 87 points 1 month ago

Better than pure water for sure.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

It actually is. Do you even nerd, bro?

Everyone that ingested it has died. Concidence?

This is false. the correct number is approximately 93%.
About 7% of everyone who ever lived is still alive.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

I drank water once and now I'm dying.

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 22 points 1 month ago

Still, you're doing remarkably well for only having drunk water once.

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I drank it twice. But I also drank it once.

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

dying of thirst?

[-] sga@lemmings.world 8 points 1 month ago

they all are chronically ill, they will die, just in some time

it's got a higher pH than any other acid!

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago
[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

especially if it is ultrapure water.

Dissolves everything? Hydrophobic and halogenated compounds would like to have a word.

[-] sga@lemmings.world 28 points 1 month ago

you are not adding enough water, add more

[-] ProceduralDeathLab@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Chakravanti@monero.town 6 points 1 month ago

I can't see the thing matching your description.

The problem with water is it's heavy af. We need a light water.

[-] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 month ago

Best I got is heavy water….

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago
[-] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

Only 60 calories!

Fat free water

[-] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 month ago

Idk, have been statistically proven that everyone who come into touch with that material end up dying.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

Polar vs. non-polar

[-] traches@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

universal solvent

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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.

most solids and liquids are practically incompressible (when comparing with gasses). there is a relationship between bulk compressibility, shear stress and youngs modulus for solids, which can be extended for liquids. It does not work for gasses

[-] kubica@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

Be water my friend.

Didn't Scottie invent this when the Enterprise had to transport a whale back to the future?
