Wouldn't it evaporate in like 5 seconds, then? Also, drainage would be the easiest thing ever. Don't even need a slanted floor.

That'd be awful. You want the stuff in water out of your house, not precipitated all over the floor.

What stuff in water? Are you referring to drainage?

Minerals, dirt, pathogens, etc.

If you wash your ~~ear~~ raw chicken (you shouldn't), that splatter would be much more evenly spread over every surface it lands on.

Well yeah, I'm not advocating we convert to surface-tensionless water, here. I'm just pointing out the flaw in this meme's logic.

Now on to serious questions, wtf is an ear chicken?

Auto correct from raw? Otherwise, god help us.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Yes, I will correct.
