Just needs a lil salt
But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?
Just use an electrolyte bath like a professional
What would a CPU look like with these wires? Would it fit within my town?
Username checks out
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)
Never heard of it, but I'll check it out

If you think water is incompressible, you’re not trying hard enough.
I can't see the thing matching your description.
Pure water isn't a good electrical conductor.
Your face isnt a good electrical conductor
Better than pure water for sure.
It actually is. Do you even nerd, bro?
No :(
Dissolves everything? Hydrophobic and halogenated compounds would like to have a word.
you are not adding enough water, add more
The problem with water is it's heavy af. We need a light water.
Best I got is heavy water….
Water Zero
Only 60 calories!
Fat free water
Ah, dihydrogen monoxide
Everyone that ingested it has died. Concidence?
#dihydrogenMonoxideIsCancer #sayNoToH2O
This is false. the correct number is approximately 93%.
About 7% of everyone who ever lived is still alive.
I drank water once and now I'm dying.
Still, you're doing remarkably well for only having drunk water once.
I drank it twice. But I also drank it once.
dying of thirst?
they all are chronically ill, they will die, just in some time

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.
Polar vs. non-polar
Idk, have been statistically proven that everyone who come into touch with that material end up dying.

universal solvent
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.

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
