    I am so sick of shower thoughts that are people just ignoring definitions of words and using other words instead like it’s some mind bending reality shock. No, birds FLY through the air because that is the DEFINITION of flying you dweeb.

        WRONG. Spoons are tiny ladles you degenerate. If you need a tiny bowl go get yourself a cup.

    Fish don’t really swim, they are flying through the water.

    Air doesn’t float, it just doesn’t sink as hard

    Apparently, swimming inherently requires a liquid.

    Air is a mixture of gases also qualifying as a fluid, so I see the logic here.

    A more interesting question would be in the absence of gravity, would you sink in a liquid or remain on the surface? (Surface tension/buoyancy issue)
