    Hey guys. In high school I graduated with fantastic grades in physics. I have a BSc in Chemical Engineering. Can somebody explain supercritical fluids to me please

      A fluid gets too hot and compressed that it forgets it’s supposed to be either a liquid or a gas, so it decides to be both.

          A supercritical fluid is a fluid that shows properties of both a gas and a liquid. It happens because the pressure and temperature of that fluid happen to be in the region where the line between liquid and gas becomes blurred, and you can’t tell where one state ends and the other begins.

          As far as I remember, a supercritical fluid can still be compressed to some extent, though being supercritical already puts it somewhat near it’s physical limit.

    Someone should make a phase diagram as well. With temperatures on the Y axis and percentage of being gay or straight on the X axis. Like we do fora alloys

      There is no gender triple point because there are only two genders /s

      Just kidding, ther obviously is a gender triple point, I just didn’t want to admit that my knowledge is too limited to know anything about it.

        Solid = conforming

        Gas = non-conforming

        Fluid = either or both depending on the person at the moment

        Super critical = ignores gender as a concept entirely in their self-definition; OR, considers themselves a gender that is based on different standards entirely, like certain religious positions in human cultures where a spiritual leader is considered to be neither/no gender

          Don’t fluids conform to the shape of their container? In a sense both fluid and gas would be conforming but solid wouldn’t be because solids don’t conform to the shape of their container.

            I can’t say I have ever considered myselfgender fluid due to my gender perfectly fitting the shape of its container (ie me)

      The gender triple point, aka gender superposition, is where a gender can be calculated and estimated, but not observed. Attempting to observe the gender changes it to a different state.

      In layman’s terms, this is also called “mind your own fucking business, your obsession with my genitals is fucking weird and creepy.”

            Absolutely fucking not. I’m way more drunk than bigFab. I’m already handing out pamphlets that say “Vote TheFartographer for a fart in every pot and gas in every ass”. I don’t know what it means either, but I definitely voted for you.

              Shit, I voted for you! I’ve handed out pamphlets that say “TexasDrunk: stealing daddies since 1997 and playing triangle in a punk folk cover band tomorrow.” I’ve offered to fart in a lot of pots and it’s been pretty unpopular so far…

                It’s only unpopular because you’re doing it to get them to vote for me. They all know I’m no good.

                On an unrelated note, what are you doing up so late? I’m only up because I’m about to head to SA. My buddy has an extra Saturday ticket to Space Con and I’m going to drunkenly and shamelessly flirt with Kate Mulgrew since I don’t think Eugene Cordero or George Takei will be there.

                  HOLY SHIT, FUCK YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER CARED ABOUT!

                  I wanted to go to Space Con and decided that it was simply too expensive, especially just a couple of weeks after going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show live. I hope it’s amazing and that the entire guest list actually shows up. A few years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rick Moranis showed up for their first cons and everyone assumed that Alamo City Comic Con was just pulling our leg, so I wouldn’t totally discount your favorite celebrities being there.

                  And I’m up late cuz it’s the weekend and I gotta find some way to fuck myself over. Might as well be fucking up my sleep cycle.

                  The Freeman Coliseum isn’t way too far from me, so DM me if you wanna meet up and mutually murder each other or say hi or something.

      Transcendence of gender as a concept entirely

      I am I, gender is a social construct I no longer need. My gender can be perceived in infinite variations depending upon the observer.

      All 3 states exist at the same time, rapidly alternating between them.

    Does this mean I can specialize in critical gender theory? Wait until the conservatives hear about this one.

    Look, all I want to know is at which pressure/temperature I turn into a dragon. And how risky is this, considering spontaneous unicornization?
