If water had no polarity, life as we know it could not exist, so the mess in your apt would be the least of your troubles
we probably would have no troubles at all
i wonder how many actors they went through to film that commercial.
A two micrometer thick layer of water would evaporate nearly instantaneously, I’d think.
Without surface tension, water would evaporate much faster in general. Probably could set out a cup of water in the morning and it would be gone by bedtime.

Your own body would basically be a fog cloud of evaporation all day until you were dehydrated like a skeleton in a salt flat, which is exactly what you would be, since no life anywhere could exist.
water in noita be like:
Look at this guy bragging about his level floors. Smh
If y’all have worked with silicone oil, yea it works kinda like this (depending on viscosity).
It creeps up out of containers, it creeps up walls. It gets everywhere.
nods like sand
I swear that shit must have negative surface tension with how much it gets everywhere
Hmm i think that would actually be better as the water where basically non existent caus it’s so spread out. It would just instantly evaporate no?
Petrol is kindve like this but it evaporates so quickly. What weighs less than petrol? Is the rate something evaporates related to the weight?
If you want to test it you could just seal your room, tape the windows and doors and keyholes, then let enough petrol evaporate until the air is saturated. Then you can test spilling it on the floor without fear of evaporation!
Doesn’t alcohol (like isopropol) have like zero surface tension? I know it evaporates super fast which is one of the factors that makes it a good cleaning agent.
That’s actually exactly why it’s a bad cleaning agent, at least for sterilization purposes. It evaporates before it can kill any microbes.
Yeah if you’re using high percentage isopropanol it’s less effective. I think the current recommendation is 70% for sterilization purposes as it remains in contact longer. Higher percentages is more for its use as a solvent or cleaning electronics.
I thought the 70% was recommended because it helps maintain membrane fluidity or something like that
Yeah or something with hydrophilic properties with the water help destroy microbes. I love reading about chemistry but keep forgetting.
