If temperature was permanently -50 °C water would be a good building material.

In the middle I was thinking "Woah, 4 MJ/m^3? That's nearly the same as water!"
You got me, xD

Water actually has shitty electrical conductivity.
- Just needs a lil salt
  
  But then the conductivity perishes as the salt is being spent. Just add more salt, then?

  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)
  
  why so salty?

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?

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 have ingested it, and I haven't died.
- hydooxic acid
  
  it's got a higher pH than any other acid!
- sounds dangerous
  
  especially if it is ultrapure water.
- Oxidane.

Dissolves everything? Hydrophobic and halogenated compounds would like to have a word.
- you are not adding enough water, add more

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

- I can't see the thing matching your description.

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

Idk, have been statistically proven that everyone who come into touch with that material end up dying.
- https://www.redbubble.com/shop?query=dihydrogen+monoxide&ref=search_box
- 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.
- Polar vs. non-polar

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

im glad I’m not soluble

Be water my friend.

Didn't Scottie invent this when the Enterprise had to transport a whale back to the future?
- Sort of. He was just carrying the AI's assistance. He was really good about ignoring all those obvious but totally invisible cameras. They would never have invented with it without the assistance. Or at least we wouldn't know about it or it would be some other thing added to the picture and taking place til we forget and the whale sends their assistant to help Arthur step up the medium and expand his 'verse a few ...mentions.

Water is the Swiss army knife of materials.

4chan died for a reason, stop necroing it
- 4chan is now alive again
  
  fuck....
- You seem angry. I suggest yoga
  
  You seem wretched, I suggest touching grass
