this feels like a potentially sincere attempt to recruit people into an anti-science conspiracy movement - this doesn't really feel different than the kind of reasoning you see with moon landing denialists or flat earthers.

Eh I wouldn't take it too seriously, I'm pretty sure it's a play on the whole running joke of "saying something ridiculous, then end it with 'You guys don't seriously believe this right?!?'" type of thing. I've seen many of these greentexts that used that format recently.

It's kinda funny to me because it loosely reminds me of same logic as those old rage comic "troll physics" memes like these:

I just realized I called myself old too :(

2012 was only 7 years ago, right?

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

2012 is at least 11 years in the future, I'm pretty sure.

[-] pticrix@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

It was seven years ago, seven years ago.

And /r/the_donald was just a joke

It's actually not a bad question, just one people don't really think about. Why does room temperature water ~~sublimate~~ evaporate?

It's because the temperature is an average, and some molecules at the surface have enough energy to break their polar bonds.

[-] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Water doesn't sublimate. Sublimation is solid to gaseous phase change.

[-] anothercatgirl 3 points 1 week ago

sublimation is poorly defined in our context.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Technically, water does sublimate, just not at normal earth pressures. Below 0.6 kPa it transitions straight from solid to gas.

Pretty sure Bill Nye taught me this. Substitute teachers aren't playing the good stuff anymore

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

I wanna say Bill Nye had a little contraption that explained this phenomenon. A cup with a piston on one end that vibrated. The top part of the cup had a ring in the center where little balls in the cup could fit. The piston represented the temperature (energy). Even at a lower temperature, some balls could randomly fly into the little hole and into the other partition. Turning the temperature up (increasing the speed and power of the piston) made more balls more frequently "evaporate." I wish I could find that demonstration again.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Maybe you just gotta piston pound your balls for yourself, comrade.

Im a lifelong flat earth denier

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

The oceans aren't carbonated therefore flat earth

[-] PrincessTardigrade@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Not carbonated enough yet

[-] dandelion 3 points 1 week ago

flat earth is pushed by the global elite pedophiles, after all - it's what they want us to believe
