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

LostXOR@fedia.ioto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most frustrating experience you've had with a website? (Sign-up, form, downloads, etc.)3·3 days agoYeah that’s happened to me too; as far as I can tell it’s just Spotify silently banning your account. Must’ve signed up for one too many free trials.

(Sign-up, form, downloads, etc.)5·3 days agoMicrosoft likes defaulting to email-based login, and I always click on the option to enter my password instead, but after doing that it sends me an email with a verification code anyways. Seriously???
All’s not lost, just drive the car in reverse for a mile. :)

I can view the convergent (cross-eyed) ones no problem. I managed once to focus on the divergent ones with like 30 minutes of practice, but I had trouble focusing normally afterwards for like an hour so I haven’t tried since.
Gotta make sure to do it from a Russian VPN too.
LostXOR@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can all the milk replacements bubble if you blow thru a straw in it like a child?2·12 days agoI’d think mercury would be too dense to form bubbles. Though it does have a very high surface tension, so perhaps I’m wrong. I actually have quite a lot of mercury, but trying to blow air through it as a test doesn’t exactly sound appealing.

I slow charge it every night and try to avoid fully draining the battery to slow down the deterioration, which seems to have worked pretty well. Thankfully a battery replacement is only $50 so it won’t cost much when I do have to replace it.
Idk about everyone else, but I’m only celebrating because it’s the one day of the year when setting off large explosions is socially acceptable.

What do you expect me to do, download a $20 bill from the internet and print it??? I guess the only realistic option is to walk around busy places after everyone’s left and hope you stumble upon someone’s dropped wallet.
?? is this real…??
Of course, didn’t you hear about when 7 billion people got killed?
Either works fine; I just use screen out of habit lol.
If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.
Supercritical 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.
