Doesn't "bouba" mean something else? That kind of looks like that?

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 days ago

Boba maybe? As in boba tea.

I was able to do OcR on that, and here it is. Collaborative effort!

Even when you try to make nice, smooth ice cubes in a freezer, sometimes one of them will shoot out a random ice spike, which physicists ascribe to kiki conservation.

I have developed a whole theory of male sexuality based on booba/kiki conservation, but this comment section is too small for it.

Alt text: When water's temperature falls below 0°C, it undergoes Bouba to Kiki.

Pic: The picture has a diagram showing water above freezing being flowy and liquid, and below freezing being rigid and icy. Many people find the sounds Bouba and Kiki to match visually to the look of rounded and pointy shapes respectively.
