Is it Possible to Drown

I just thought of the title and apparently that's what I'm blogging about today.

From a literal level, the correct answer is, "Duh, of course it's possible to drown, why are you even asking that?" That is a good point, but I want to be pedantic about it, so there.

I guess if you really think about it, drowning is still breathing. You are still inhaling a chemical to exhale a different chemical. In normal breathing we take in the chemical slough we call "air" for our bodies to clean up a bit, and then we exhale carbon dioxide. In the case of water, we're still taking in a chemical slough, but this time, all of the chemicals are in a polyamorous marriage. They're all still gases, they're just stuck together a bit. You're still breathing in oxygen, but instead of your body processing it and exhaling carbon dioxide, you exhale bacteria, some enzymes, and death. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Now here's a separate thing: Would we be able to drown if we were organisms that breathed solids instead of gases? I really can't imagine that think about how freaking crazy that is. It's like something just randomly inhaling a bunch of skittles so it doesn't die. What????? Or what about some sort of whale or something that breathes tables??????? That's really funny right now but it won't seem to be at a later date when I read this again. Would it be possible for it to drown?

I'm going to start with something easier. Do fish drown? Not really. They just kind of stop being able to breathe. Humans can still breathe under water, they just can't for very long (Nor can they breathe it  very efficiently at that.) Most fish, if taken out of water, just can't. Sure there's air moving through them, but gills are not made to take in air. They run water past their gills. In the open air, they just can't do anything about it because they can't really inhale.

So what about humans? Really, drowning is a pointless word. A good thing to say would be that they, "breathed water" because breathing water kills people. So people do drown but they shouldn't drown because it's pointless to drown when drowning is just breathing water, which means doing something that people just aren't particularly good at.

Sidenote: I found an article about things that breathe solids. It's really disappointing actually because they're just bacteria and that's boring. I guess it's kind of cool that they respirate toxic metals, but still it's not like a whale breathing the solids in tables or whatever.
So there you go think about it because I'm tired of it. Tell me what you think. If you comment something to the effect of, "People drown, stop being dumb," I'm going to delete your kneecaps. Good luck.

Edit:
If you commented something telling me it is possible to drown without even considering the post, I am going to delete half of your teeth. Olivia has posted the only valid comment. You have to consider it on a more existential level. Be prepared for teeth deletion next wednesday and don't try to run.

This is just a test to figure out the character limit of the title line. If it doesn't have a limit, then you will receive a very obnoxious blog post that is all title. Lucky You! So far the limit has not been reached, so I'll just start on the post. I wanted to know who decided that standardized testing was a thing. So I looked it up so you don't have to. His name was Alfred Binet, and he made a standard test of intelligence which eventually became the IQ test. That's so stupid. Why would a guy who died in like 1905 decide who is and who isn't smart? Ironically, that's a very dumb thing to do considering the fact that people 100 years ago didn't know stuff that we don't know now. If you were to reverse that situation, it would be similar to Isaac Newton asking Euclid to do calculus. That's really stupid. Why do we continue to let dead people decide the future? It's the same thing with the constitution. There's a part in the constitution that says that it needs to be rewritten to fit the modern people. What happened. A bunch of white guys decided that these dead guys would rule the country, which is exactly the opposite that the old white guys wanted. Wack.

Why is Chemical Synthesis?

I know that if you're reading this you've taken a chemistry class. This is a thing that happened. If you have not taken a chemistry class, I don't know who you are. That would be crazy, so I'm just going to go off of the assumption that we have interacted in person at some point in time


Anyway

Since you've taken a chemistry class, you know that chemical stuff is a lot of figuring out what will not kill you. That's chemical synthesis in a nutshell. Doing some math and figures to try to get the product you want without dying. This is true every time. Even if you're desired product is something that can kill you. Like bromine. Don't synthesize bromine. It will give your lungs and external body chemical burns and has a good chance of exploding if it touches random metals. Overall you would just have a bad time.

Anyway

Recently, a youtube channel showed up in my recommended feed. The guys name is NileRed, and he does these really crazy experiment things. The scary part about it is I don't know if he's actually a chemist? He knows stuff about chemistry and everything, but he never does anything in a lab, and he gets a lot of his chemicals from e-bay. There's a good chance that this guy will just randomly catch on fire someday and I won't know if it was a chemical thing that went wrong or a chemical thing that went right.

He also does kind of questionable things safety wise sometimes. He has a video of pouring various acids of varying strengths on his hands and ??????????????????????? Do you have a death wish? Are you some sort of masochist? I have no doubt that he would do dubious things if given the chance.

On an actual science note, he does some really crazy reactions. There was one video where he showed the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and it was very odd. That looks like this:

  

Science is wild. Here's a link to his actual video of it, but there's no guarantee you'll be able to view it, because apparently, the video is not viewable from this specific area. Watch it at home if that's what you're into. I don't know. Live your life.

Life is Boring

My sister sent me a link to a video by a guy named Brian David Gilbert. He's a guy who does some very interesting things. He's actually super relatable because the concepts that he centers his skits around are not really that funny, but the way he executes them is funny. Like in this video.
It's such a weird freaking video but holy crap. My favorite part is when Brian just does a bunch of double takes, and Patrick does the thing where his shoes jump off screen in opposite directions. That's the best video editing I've seen in months.

He also has a video where he constructs the legend of Zelda timeline, and he ties it all together with the legend of Zelda monopoly. How do you do that? How do you mix all of this together with a monopoly spin-off? He also made a ranking of the top sexiest Castlevania monsters? I understand that one even less than the monopoly one. In the top ten, he has what's called a bitterfly (A skull with butterfly wings) ??????????????????????

Additionally, he read all of the books in Skyrim. All of them. All 820 of them. I know he got his job voluntarily but sometimes I really worry about his well-being. They basically just lock him in a studio for multiple hours until there's content. That is one way to do it I guess.

Then there's Chris Fleming. Their videos are just.....

These are things that if someone just told you about it, they would be really boring. That's the whole point of this type of humor. If you're life is boring you make it interesting. Without some context, the gifs above are really weird and can be hilarious. The new shoes thing is just weird in general. Who would think to figure out what the hottest Castlevania monster is?  That video remains to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I'm not going to link to it, but it ends with him throwing himself into the ocean. May I daresay call that a mood Mr. Sir?

College is Dumb

So recently it has come to my attention that college is ridiculous. In this context recently means within the past 3 years. If we go to a normal school for like 12 years before going to college, why do we need to take general classes? Why can't we just have specialized classes for the field we want to pursue? The answer to that is probably the following:

It's really blurry because of reasons. Thanks Lincoln.

Really though. I want to be able to do stuff that I like doing without paying thousands of dollars for it. What the HEHCK. Where else am I going to be able to sing in a large group? How else am I going to be able to scream on multiple different instruments at the same time and afford it? How else am I going to do math with an actual goal in mind? How else am I going to do science without directly needing a license to purchase chemicals? That's crazy.

How in the heck am I supposed to do things that I enjoy doing without going to college? Sure I could apply for positions, or do auditions for things, but that takes a lot of time and energy. If I'm in poverty for the rest of my life I don't want to spend all my time doing things that will be extremely stressful while doing other things like work.

So I have resolved that I'll be a mountain man. I'll live in the Yukon somewhere and nobody will expect anything of me. That's the life.

Bauer I'm so sorry. I did actually write legislation today


Here's what it's supposed to look like. Blogger made me very disappointed today.
