So, fyi my degree is in ecology, but my understanding is that local inconsistencies in temperature cause areas of uneven heating, so I'm certain areas the liquid is moving up, causing it to move down in adjacent areas that are cooler, which sets up little circular currents. The distribution of them, though, is pretty random.
The visible bits are just the gunk that's always on the bottom of cider jugs
User visits community for people to post photographs they take, encounters posted photograph, gets upset
why comment something useless like this? It's a cool pics posted to the pics comm what else is necessary?
I thought it was interesting, unlike your comment.
For the same reason your snarky remark was?
Things don't need to be necessary to exist, interesting is enough
Even if it isn't to you, it is to me, which i wanted to share with people in case they might also find it interesting
Exactly, so why bother?
Why not? Life is short.
And that is why they posted.
Oh okay.
This was a productive conversation. I learned something.
Talk to you later.
God, I fucking hope not...
LMAO
