    I like the idea of how water is represented as technically water is the strongest dissolver. That's exactly why everything was forced to evolve a defense as to not get dissolved by water. Since you can basically dissolve quite littarly anything in water except for hydrophobic stuff I guess. That's how they make solutions (the chemical kind)

    » Water required for survival instead of being a poison; fleshy body naturally contains water
    » Incredibly intelligent in most areas of the spectrum
    » Individual characteristics vary intensely, including personality and tendency to violence, making most human beings unpredictable until known individually
    » Extreme natural prowess in most, if not all areas related to language
    » Absolutely unrelenting in combat due to naturally having an indomitable spirit, though depends heavily on the individual
    » Extreme adaptability to any environment with the right pressure, oxygen saturation, heat, moisture, and other factors
    » Extreme potential weapons and armour prowess, also extreme potential unarmed combat prowess
    Yet we are still incredibly fragile despite being so fearsome.

  • @saguhr3937
    @saguhr3937 6 месяцев назад

    in fact, water being toxic can actually be pretty true for lifeforms consisting of silicate or other substances, because water dissolves most chemicals known to man and oxidizes stuff pretty quickly, to top it off, he greatest mass extinction in history is the "great oxidization" of earth's atmosphere, because oxigen was extremely toxic to celular lifeforms in the past, as it, obvioulsy, can corrode things through oxidization, from metal to organic material, even rocks. So basically, it would make sense if those were some of the most dangerous stuff for most lifeforms in the universe.

    Reminds me of how the aliens from Signs were rebuffed. They could travel to distant worlds, but didn't realize they were landing on a planet that had huge amounts of a chemical that was deadly poison to them.
    They then proceed to attack said planet totally naked. What happened to those who were caught in a rainstorm? Fog? What happened when they met the one guy standing in the middle of his pool with a super soaker? Did they find out that the humans they abducted were primarily made up of this deadly chemical? Imagine if one of those prisoners spit in an alien's face as an act of defiance?

At most, it would be able to dissolve them as it is a very good solvent

It has special solubility properties, it is perfectly neutral, it has a high heat capacity, and it’s made of some of the most common elements in the universe
