@@MelniaShadow how can you say that making cookies is not science related? If you understand the concept of someone saying "Eureka" or "that's weird," then you understand that the mere utterance of those words is not "science related." Seriously, how can anything be unrelated to science? I lost multiple brain cells trying to get your comment to make sense.

[@MiddlePath007]

@thecommandocrew2692 project much? Tell me how baking is more a matter of statistics than chemistry. I'm genuinely curious. Just in case you can't, here is my explanation for my assertion: As the saturated lipids melt, they release the slightly acidic water content. That H₂O combines with the NaHCO₃ and releases bubbles of CO₂ that expand and are trapped by the sucrose bonding with gluten and polymerizing eggs. The Maynard reaction takes place, and as the final product cools, the caramelized sugars and anhydrous proteins from the flower crystallize and form a rigid and delicious cookie. _Yeah Mr White, science!_ Also, it's not being pedantic when you have already explained a concept in very simple terms with the addition of remedial examples. Especially when that's followed by an argument from someone with no concept of what they are saying. I understand how it seems arrogant when I expect Forrest Gump and the water boy to follow along, but how can I possibly go beyond spoon feeding with those two? Now I have to make a warm bottle for Simple Jack because he doesn't understand what the Dunning Krueger effect is while perfectly exemplifying it by attempting to insult me with something that he commonly is insulted with, all while still not understanding what he is saying to me. Some people want to sound like they are superior with counterpoint that they don't understand, and I'd be cruel if I didn't help them out by explaining it to them. I hope that helps, I don't know how to break it down further.

Fun Fact: When Hank said that the early relatives of the anchovies had saber tooth, he referred to the Saber-Toothed Salmon, which was quite large, **and yes, everything in the Ice Age had to have huge teeth and ivories totally not to dig up stuff or use em as knifes :]**

[@briseboy]

Since i have consorted with sabre tooth kitties of up to 30 million years of age, may i suggest that your presumption of ivory tickling's limited existential span, similarly to pretensions of many youtube commenters on music, may be woefully limited.

[@backpacker3421]

Let's not forget that there IS a significant source of heat energy at the bottom of the ocean - geothermal vents. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was taken into account in modeling because it seems too obvious to miss.

[@LuisAldamiz]

Not where the data was collected. Geothermal vents are in the mid-Atlantic Ocean ridge, i.e. between Iceland and Azores, not so close to the coasts.

[@WrenStuart-y9h]

There are plenty of people taking thermal vents into account, but iirc they're not a significant source of mixing globally (I would guess just because there aren't enough of them, not quite my area). It's actually been proven since Sandström that you don't need the heat source to be below the cooling to achieve convection anyway

[@backpacker3421]

@@LuisAldamiz Google "map of geothermal undersea vents for the fastest proof of how wrong you are. Not to be a tool, but that was just very wrong. They are literally everywhere there is a fault line at sea, which is all around the world, and MANY of them are quite close to shore.

[@backpacker3421]

@@WrenStuart-y9h There are over 500 KNOWN vent fields, each with many many vents spread over hundreds of miles. But they absolutely ARE a significant convection source anywhere they are. Most of them were discovered because of the large plume of warm water they sent toward the surface. Can you cite a source that says they are not a significant source of mixing? Not my field either, but that is truly counterintuitive. If you've ever seen one in action in person, just one vent in a field can be sending tens of thousands of gallons a minute from the floor to the surface...... but that's less significant than fish swimming up and down a few meters at a time?

[@LuisAldamiz]

@@backpacker3421 - I did search for those maps (Startpage rather than Google, I've been trying to de-Googleize for very long now) and they totally confirm my previous beliefs: hydrothermal vents are along the mid-Atlantic ridge (the "wound" as Afro-Eurasia and America(s) pull apart from each other) and NOT near the coasts.

[@LindysEpiphany]

It seems to me that every creature in the ocean would help to do the mixing, with some doing more work than others. The ocean has a lot of thermal vents that create the convection from the bottom that helps to mix things. The salt content may also be a factor for mixing things, different densities different movement. All in all I think its the entire biodiversity of the ocean along with tectonic shifts under it and of course the tides that gives us our beautiful oceans instead of giant lakes of stagnant water. And that, my friends, is a very good thing!

[@LuisAldamiz]

Not at those locations.

my theory on chins is just our teeth being so sunken into our face but the rest of the face did not keep up, sort of like our nose is part of a muzzle that did not get shorter in length and just had to curve along being pulled by our jaws inwards, there is no reason to really evolve away a chin so it stays there its also as a expressive and acts as more protection for our teeth it takes the hit, it also makes beards look bigger due to the curved surface angle

The fish in your deepdish makes the motion in the ocean.

[@loorthedarkelf8353]

I'm surprised we didn't talk about like... the rotation of the earth, or the constant movement of the tectonic plates. It seems to me that new materual coming up out of a fault is Quite Hot and shock cooled upon contact. The substrait beneath the water itself is constantly edging along microns at a time. I imagine that's gotta send some energy into the water that causes churn. I'm not saying the anchoveys don't help, I'm just surprised that in looking for the cause of motion for a large mass of water, we don't look at the proverbial container its sitting in and what forces its contributing from below. Like... idk, the kinetic energy from the entire mass of the planet spinning?
