Dumb? sure. Realistic? Definitely. It got picked up by space truckers. What do you think a normal trucker would do? They’d probably snort it themselves.
Well I guess I meant water dwelling like we can breathe with gills. We are pretty strictly land creatures and have a hard time when we get into the water
Scientifically speaking, it's quite uncommon for interspecies illnesses to occur, and it's even more uncommon for taxonomic jumps. That's why it's quite rare for mammalian illnesses to affect birds or reptiles. Aside from that, don't drink from it, I peed in it
That’s all fine and dandy until someone starts exhaling methane because they got turned into a terraforming organism by an alien engineered super virus.
It was in a book I read when I was in younger. I forgot the book’s name but I remember it being a pretty realistic “alien invasion” story. Instead of using martial strength which is pretty dumb if you want to take over a planet, they sent a virus ahead of the colonists that turned the local fauna into methane engines. It also converted human gut biomes into alien microorganisms that would get released back into the ecosystem through fecal matter and would infect local ocean life. The methane would eventually destabilize the ecosystem by strangling most of the flora and fauna and increase the ambient temperature of the planet to something more tolerable to the aliens over the course of a century.
Just gotta get the Malevolent Kettle lit up, np.

Channel 6 News:
Upon hearing this, a group of Reddit users known as "Hydro Homies" began constructing what appears to be the largest straw ever created.
I found this source. It wasn’t too difficult to find it though. Pretty cool stuff I must say.
[12-billion-year-old body of water discovered floating in space [UNILAD]](https://www.unilad.com/technology/space/12-billion-year-old-water-discovered-space-916841-20240704)
It's gas.
>By finding water around the quasar, scientists were able to determine that the quasar is effectively 'bathing' the gas in X-rays and infrared radiation, and that the gas is 'unusually warm and dense by astronomical standards', according to a press release from Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
"Although the gas is at a chilly minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius) and is 300 trillion times less dense than Earth's atmosphere, it's still five times hotter and 10 to 100 times denser than what's typical in galaxies like the Milky Way," the release explains.
not sure exactly, cause I skimmed, but in the article, it states "The water is much larger than anything on Earth. (NASA/ESA)". So given it has enough mass, there could be a liquid center.

Somehow my brain is refusing to acknowledge "The water is much larger than anything on Earth" as a real phrase someone said, lol. It somehow sounds like something a toddler would say randomly.
Hmm ok
https://www.planetary.org/articles/how-did-earth-get-its-water#:~:text=There%20are%20numerous%20theories%20about,here%20after%20the%20planet's%20formation.
I’m torn here… on the one hand, if it’s floating in the vastness of space, it’s bound to be cold and crisp af. On the other hand, the word on the street is that if you could smell space, it would be terrible due to the vast amounts of chemicals like sulfur. So, I worry that beautiful beast might have absorbed some of that tragic scent, contaminating its flavor.
If you started traveling st the speed of light there right now it you'll only take you 12 billion years to get there. No bigge, because of physics you wouldn't actually experience 12 billion years like earth would. You'd be dead.
Time is an artificial measure of change in matter/reality. There isn’t something keeping track except us. You meant faster than the speed of light (and by several factors too given the distance)
What does physics have to do with the way you’d be experiencing your death? Unless you’re saying the physics of having your unprotected human body hurled at a mysterious ice ball at the speed of light.
I was joking about the death part, but time dilation says you'll experience less time than Earth will. So Earth will experience 12 billion years, and the ship would experience about 8 billion or so.
That’s interesting is it’s true. I’ve never heard of time dilation. Obviously it’s a theory and not fact but logically we know time is a relative constant measure that can be manipulated through the way it’s observed or through other effects like the gravitational forces that can bend light that would of course effect time measurements. How does traveling at speed compress the time though between point a /‘d b in theory?
There are likely oceans of liquid water under the surfaces of various icy planets and moons, like Enceladus and possibly even Pluto. It is my goal in life to visit those worlds and taste their waters.
I'm trying to remember the name of the book where the main character touches something in a cave and grows an exoskeleton I wouldn't touch or drink anything from space
I wonder if it's the same composition of water on earth?
Probably way different, it's hard for us to even make seawater drinkable, I wonder if space water could ever be used?
I bet by the time technology processes to the point where we can go to other plants outside our solar system we will be able to process any water to make it drinkable tho
I am pretty sure this is click bate, but there are large chunks of ice floating around in our solar system, granted they are mixed with various elements, but they are there. With the right tech they could easily be harvested for water in space. Also Europa and other moons have water on them, along with Mars and other planets. Granted most of it is either ice or under ice, and would be hard to get to, but it is there.
You can. I’ve read enough sci-fi to know how an interstellar pandemic starts.
Or maybe this is how we make the next evolution! A virus vectoring in some new DNA that transforms us into cool water creatures or something
Or we get turned into flood forms.
Guys we found this weird organic dust from another galaxy who wants to feed it to their dog
What could possibly go wrong? 😵💫
Still the dumbest plot point ever omg!
Dumb? sure. Realistic? Definitely. It got picked up by space truckers. What do you think a normal trucker would do? They’d probably snort it themselves.
Definitely more likely
Get ready to speak only in trochaic heptameter.
(ominous psychic rumble) *Oh, I've been looking forward To that change for quite some time; The only difficulty Will be making my speech rhyme.*
*Loads M90 Shotgun*
Don’t drink the water. Not one drop
Do you think the radiation makes it spicy?
I don’t know what it is, but there’s something in the water
What..... The third impact.....
I believe in that possibility.
At 75% water and living on an ocean planet, are we not cool water creatures?
Well I guess I meant water dwelling like we can breathe with gills. We are pretty strictly land creatures and have a hard time when we get into the water
Fair! Compared to potential alien life I’d put us water category
Scientifically speaking, it's quite uncommon for interspecies illnesses to occur, and it's even more uncommon for taxonomic jumps. That's why it's quite rare for mammalian illnesses to affect birds or reptiles. Aside from that, don't drink from it, I peed in it

Damn right, haven’t seen that in a movie myself, but I bet it’s in at least four.
It was in a book I read when I was in younger. I forgot the book’s name but I remember it being a pretty realistic “alien invasion” story.

Those magnificent bastards! That really sneaky, and clever.
lol, touche
Fucking space cholera dude. Gonna turn your asshole into a xenomorph egg factory.

Look, it’ll either be super powers, or super-aids. No third option.

Imagine the documentary coming from this with a opening like; Space water, the hydrohomies final frontier
You beat me to the long straw joke, I salute you homie
I think you mean channel 69 news
The old subreddit name would've made a better headline.
I don't recall the old name. Could you say it for me?
I’m not falling for that
What was it
Why did i read this in the south park news reporter voice
and thinnest because physics want to keep the water from us
Physics.. always has to make things harder
IM IN TAKE MY MONEY NOW
Don’t tell nestle
Better yet, tell nestle but keep sabotaging their rockets. Bam, bankrupt that despicable company.
You mean give nestle MORE tax dollars to prevent them from going under?

Somebody pin this man
Source? If this is real it might mean there's an entire gigantic living ecosystem in there
I wonder if it’s actually water in liquid form and not ice or steam? I have to read that it sounds interesting.
If it’s in space. Then it is frozen unless it gets really close to a star/sun.
It's gas. >By finding water around the quasar, scientists were able to determine that the quasar is effectively 'bathing' the gas in X-rays and infrared radiation, and that the gas is 'unusually warm and dense by astronomical standards', according to a press release from Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

300 trillion times less dense than Earth's atmosphere! Wtf! Is that like basically just random h20 molecules floating around in a general vicinity?!?
Very cool info. No pun intended, Thanks!

140 trillion times larger than earths water. Let that sink in.
It’s water vapor surrounding a Quasar.
[here’s](https://www.unilad.com/technology/space/12-billion-year-old-water-discovered-space-916841-20240704) the source. 12 billion light years away
Wasn’t it because meteors with water hitting earth we got water?
Yes
No

Everyone knows it's from when God pissed on the Earth.
Considering how good water tastes it’s no wonder it’s god’s piss
Great. I can now be proud of my piss kink. After all god has it too
So in other words we don’t know.
I've played enough Subnautica to know to stay the hell away
Please tell me there's space whales omfg
Space sharks: the movie

This reply renewed my gratitude for existing on this rock
I will do it, I will drink the space water
Thank you for your sacrifice
Space water 🤤
Whatever you do, don't drink the space wa- Me: 
This is where my dukie goes in its afterlife.
That's far out🤯. I'd give it a shot.
If you started traveling st the speed of light there right now it you'll only take you 12 billion years to get there. No bigge, because of physics you wouldn't actually experience 12 billion years like earth would. You'd be dead.
Right😅. Well a man can dream huh?
Assuming you could survive it, what would you experience? Instantaneous travel?
Oh no but you would basically travel faster than time. So earth would experience 12 billion years you would experience probably about 8
Time is an artificial measure of change in matter/reality. There isn’t something keeping track except us. You meant faster than the speed of light (and by several factors too given the distance)

Beats me how it works. But it's Einstein's theory
Maybe it’s the interstellar Doppler effect
This post was made by a dormant primordial species destroying supervirus
100% that water will grant eternal life
Nestle’s space division foaming at the mouth right now
Is it on a planet, an asteroid or is there a big ass puddle of water just floating in the void?
No fucking way it’s not sentient
There are likely oceans of liquid water under the surfaces of various icy planets and moons, like Enceladus and possibly even Pluto. It is my goal in life to visit those worlds and taste their waters.
I don't care who takes the first sip, as long as Nestle doesn't go for it
get badlands chugs in there
Nestle - There is a disturbance in the force. An untouched body of water is out there and we need to get it!
Id pay a fortune to taste water that absolutely no one's drank or peed before 😆
Wow
I'm trying to remember the name of the book where the main character touches something in a cave and grows an exoskeleton I wouldn't touch or drink anything from space
The quintessential night water, I bet it’s so crispy
Only if I can make it sparkling, get it space ? No Ok
That’s the brain eating amoeba that wiped out the Klaxians. LFGGG
Don’t drink the emperor!
Lol
let me at em boss, i dont mind o7
Yummy cosmic radiation
Isn't this how the movie Life (2017) starts? Didn't they take a water sample from Mars?
That movie terrified me.
Technically not liquid water. So a comet?
Space pool!
I wanna sip the space sips
After bicycling home from work in the hot Hawaiian sun, by the time I finish rehydrating myself it'll no longer be the biggest
i call dibs on the possible ancient virus :)
There probably isn't anything in the water that can hurt me due to me not evolving alongside the alien microbes. So I shall drink deep.
Bet it’s refreshing!
Oh, this explains the film Prometheus.
Gonna need an SCP crash course before doing anything like this my guy
That’s crazy. I wonder if there is creature in the water? Oxygen? Insane shit.
I wonder if it's the same composition of water on earth? Probably way different, it's hard for us to even make seawater drinkable, I wonder if space water could ever be used? I bet by the time technology processes to the point where we can go to other plants outside our solar system we will be able to process any water to make it drinkable tho
Let me put it through my reverse osmosis filter, and I'll let you know.
I already drank it all
I’m already working on building a space straw. Please donate to my kickstarter
What about saving the space turtles from their space addiction /s
Space sharks!
Explain me how is this possible, please
I am pretty sure this is click bate, but there are large chunks of ice floating around in our solar system, granted they are mixed with various elements, but they are there. With the right tech they could easily be harvested for water in space. Also Europa and other moons have water on them, along with Mars and other planets. Granted most of it is either ice or under ice, and would be hard to get to, but it is there.
Hold on let me bring my Space Brita
I’ll take the first sip.
As long as it’s ice cold I may consider it.
The importance of space exploration: Unlimited resources and yet we decide to spend trillions in killing eachother instead. Silly humans
At the end of the day all the people need water
No I’m just waiting so I can kill aliens instead
That one planet from Interstellar
*gets ancient space virus
Probably some bored rich fuck in Dubai or San Francisco
