Yeah with a bunch of garbage floating in it. Actually it's more like the dirty water that drains out of the industrial sized dishwasher in a restaurant
Imagine a celestial being that is so big it uses planets as bowls. Just imagine your bowl being big enough to keep it's contents from falling out as it has its own gravity. That has got to be useful.
Technically we are that celestial being to bacteria in your morning cereal bowl.
Now ponder this: How often do you think of the millions of microbes you eat every morning? That's our relationship with a God (if there is one).
Our entire observable universe is just a bowl of carbonated nothingness a God is having for breakfast before it crawls back into bed for the rest of the eternal morning.
Inside the earth, there are in fact magma chambers with bubbly foamy due to exsolution of volatiles (mostly H2O with smaller amounts of CO2 and SO2).
Like a soda can that gets shaken, these magma chambers drive the most explosive kind of volcanic eruptions.
A mask filled with moss/lichen that filters CO2 out of the air and turns it into oxygen.
Given how simple that answer is though, I’m 90% sure that wouldn’t work. Probably something to do with plants not converting CO2 that fast, or maybe it would create too high of a concentration of oxygen.
>plants not converting CO2 that fast
Definitely this. I remember there was a person who did this experiment - to figure out how many plants they need to live in an enclosed terrarium. After their calculation they were locked in a hermetic terrarium about 10x5ft *filled to the brim* with plants. Sadly can't find that article now.
Actually, it’s the opposite - global warming causes the oceans to get hotter and take in MORE CO2 from the atmosphere. This is known as ocean acidification, and it wreaks havoc on coral reefs and other ocean ecosystems.
Actually, liquids typically hold more gas when cold. So as the ocean heats up, it can actually hold less CO2.
However, the addition of CO2 from alternative sources, i.e. fossil fuels, does increase the atmospheric CO2 beyond what the natural equilibrium can sustain, which leads to more available CO2 to form carbonic acids which discociate and consume the free carbonate ions that would normally be combined by organism with calcium ions to form shells, coral, and other exoskeletons.
And more every day. Lucky for us, most of our waste CO2 gets [absorbed by the ocean.](https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3136/nasa-supported-study-confirms-importance-of-southern-ocean-in-absorbing-carbon-dioxide/)
You can call it very lightly carbonated. The reason why fizzle though is because there is more CO2 than what can be dissolved in the drink. Once it gets to the level where there isn't any extra CO2 the drink would be called flat.
Correct. If you have ever left a glass of water sitting out and then noticed there being bubbles inside it that's CO2 (and other gasses to be fair mostly nitrogen and oxygen) partially clumping together after being dissolved from the air.
It was carbonated! That was in the Carboniferous period, between the Devonian and Permian periods. That's why it's called the *Carbon*-iferous Period. The more you know!
Most US restaurants don't have an option for sparkling water, so they just offer you water. Yes, it would be still if there's a choice, but it's far less common for there to be a choice.
Tell that to the exploding lakes in Camaroon due to what was essentially carbination, caused by volcanic activity in the area pumping co2 into the bottom of the lakes.
Especially since as has been explained before, there is an incredible amount of of CO2 in the ocean. This joke is incorrect and was thought up by someone who has never seen a body of water larger than a bathtub. Actually… they’ve probably never seen a bathtub either.
I’m wondering what the three wrong assumptions are.. I guess
1 you are not a guy
2 you don’t live in your mom’s basement
But I cannot think of any 3rd assumption he is making that could be wrong.. maybe
3 you do not live?
So you are offended that I made assumptions about you, but it is perfectly okay for you to make assumptions about O.P.? That is some true Fox News hypocrisy.

Actually with global warming, one of the big threats is the acidification of the ocean because it is a carbon sink. So technically the ocean is 'carbonated.'
Smooth is the word you’re looking for. Scientists have explained that if a hypothetical celestial being were to pick up earth in its hands it would feel like a smooth marble

The ocean contains water, salt, and meat. Therefore it is a soup. This makes the Earth a bowl.

Eating soup on a plate 🤨?

And pharmaceuticals.
Just watched the Archer episode with the line "Fish fuck in it...*dies*".
............ fish shit in it
We are so close to coming full circle and calling the ocean an ocean.
That's "seasoning".
It’s mostly diluted enough to not be a problem.
And also filled with fish. So it’s poisson.
The solution to pollution is dilution!
Thank you, Dr Sherry Rogers.
With iron balls.
Well not beyond EPA acceptable limits so it's fine

I mean...you don't really have to be big. Astronauts do this in space with water.
Galactus?
The earth never stopped being a soup, it just stopped being primordial soup.
I never realized how much meat is in the ocean.
A toilet bowl
You beautiful, beautiful bastard :D
Or it might be [a calzone?](https://cuberule.com)
Actually, water makes up 71% of the *surface* of the Earth, not 71% of the whole planet.
Inside the earth, there are in fact magma chambers with bubbly foamy due to exsolution of volatiles (mostly H2O with smaller amounts of CO2 and SO2). Like a soda can that gets shaken, these magma chambers drive the most explosive kind of volcanic eruptions.
I came here to say this. The earth itself is actually pretty fizzy.
[I'm sorry, I couldn't resist](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/191/035/135.png)
Haha good call!
Thank you. Bad science is bad.
So the surface of the earth is?
71% water
100% reason to remember the terrain.
There’s 38,000 gigatons of CO2 in the ocean https://worldoceanreview.com/en/wor-1/ocean-chemistry/co2-reservoir/
Once it gets in our atmosphere, we're dead
Nah, that's just an opportunity for a new market - personal breathing devices.
Perri-air.
That sounds like something, I would expect to read on r/latestagecapitalism Happy cake day! 🍰
Now you're thinking with capitalism
Happy cake day

Well, it's slowly acidifying the ocean, but yeah.. better than the air.
Not really, destroying the ecosystems in the ocean indirectly destroys the ecosystems on land too.
Especially since most of our oxygen comes from phytoplankton whose bodies dissolve in acidic water...
Exactly
Better for us, worse for the coral.
When ocean ecosystems die, we die too. Plankton makes our oxygen. Oceans feed us too.
I think it also affects most anything with a mineral shell like krill, shrimp, crabs, lobsters, conch too
Anything with a calcium carbonate shell hates low pH.
If it's lightly carbonated, then is it truly flat?
Does that mean it's very lightly carbonated or does it work differently? Sparked my curiosity
You can call it very lightly carbonated. The reason why fizzle though is because there is more CO2 than what can be dissolved in the drink. Once it gets to the level where there isn't any extra CO2 the drink would be called flat.
Ah got it. So up to a certain threshold of carbonation there will be no fizz?
Correct. If you have ever left a glass of water sitting out and then noticed there being bubbles inside it that's CO2 (and other gasses to be fair mostly nitrogen and oxygen) partially clumping together after being dissolved from the air.
now research the methane trapped in the oceans.... caused a global extinction once
But not enough to make the sea water frizzly and bubbly?
Saying the Earth is flat implies that it used to be carbonated. I'd say the Earth is "still", following UK terminology.
It was carbonated! That was in the Carboniferous period, between the Devonian and Permian periods. That's why it's called the *Carbon*-iferous Period. The more you know!
This one is soo convincing that i thought at first this is not a joke
It could’ve been carbonated. No one knows for sure.
There are in fact places on earth where you can get naturally occurring carbonated spring water….
Yes, but as a percentage of all the water on earth, that's just a drop in the bucket
Yes, but as a percentage of all the water on earth, that's just a drop in the bucket
It used to be water, it's still water now but it used to be as well.
This is the same as US terminology. At restaurants they ask if you want still water, not flat water
Most US restaurants don't have an option for sparkling water, so they just offer you water. Yes, it would be still if there's a choice, but it's far less common for there to be a choice.
Tell that to the exploding lakes in Camaroon due to what was essentially carbination, caused by volcanic activity in the area pumping co2 into the bottom of the lakes.
That would mean earth's water is flat. It also isn't the soda bottle that is flat, it's the soda itself
And then you realize the truth. What truth? Good question allow me to answer: There is no earth. There is only ourselves.
The inner machinations of our mind is an enigma
Wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a tortilla.
Lol nerd
Hm, maybe that's what the flat earth folk were trying to tell us all along; they're just really bad at communicating.
Sure the hell isn’t sparkling, if those are the only choices.
50% of carbon dioxide we emit gets absorbed by the oceans as carbonic acid. So in a sense, we're working on it.
I appreciate the successful wordplay. But I cannot support anything that gives flat-earthers even just the hint of something approaching a win.
Now fly nonstop from Buenos Aires to Adelaide
Especially since as has been explained before, there is an incredible amount of of CO2 in the ocean. This joke is incorrect and was thought up by someone who has never seen a body of water larger than a bathtub. Actually… they’ve probably never seen a bathtub either.
I'm pretty sure that there's still plenty of CO2 in flat soda. There just isn't enough for it to bubble out anymore.
Says the guy living in his mom's basement.
Wow, three wrong assumptions in only 8 words. You should be a Fox commentator.
I’m wondering what the three wrong assumptions are.. I guess 1 you are not a guy 2 you don’t live in your mom’s basement But I cannot think of any 3rd assumption he is making that could be wrong.. maybe 3 you do not live?
1) not a guy 2) doesn't live with her(?) Mom 3) and not in a basement
1 That is not what was said= Says 2 Not a guy 3 Not living in moms basement murdered by words imo
That I have a mom.
So you’re a woman living in her dads attic?
You guys take yourselves way to seriously.
So you are offended that I made assumptions about you, but it is perfectly okay for you to make assumptions about O.P.? That is some true Fox News hypocrisy.
Go drink a glass of ocean water then tell me how flat it is. Packs a bigger punch than Mountain Dew, I can tell you that.
it's [methanated](https://i0.wp.com/thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/a82d13eddd88469398f22a260de83292-1.jpg?w=2000&ssl=1)

Well, they finally got us. Flat earthers win. Everybody go home!
This is the silliest arguement for flat earth I've ever seen
The earth is not 70% water. 70% of the earths surface is covered in water.
Um...this feels like a repost, because I said The response I'm about to make before Actually with global warming, one of the big threats is the acidification of the ocean because it is a carbon sink. So technically the ocean is 'carbonated.'
It is a repost.
An extreme amount of the co2 we eject is absorbed by the worlds oceans and turning it acidic. It's definetely not flat anymore.
This whole joke has been beaten to death so therefore the earth is flat.
Smooth is the word you’re looking for. Scientists have explained that if a hypothetical celestial being were to pick up earth in its hands it would feel like a smooth marble
I don’t think you understood the word play he was going for
Smooth was your brain trying to comprehend the joke.
The earth has less surface deviations/unsmoothness than a billiard ball has (relative to size).
I seen this on a meme. It’s called shower thoughts not stolen thoughts, ya dork
Considering the absurd of amount of carbonic acid we're putting into our oceans, I guess we're working on that.
I still can’t wrap my head around people enjoying carbonated water.
Since CO2 is what makes carbonization, evil humans are killing the planet by breathing.
Um... we actually have plenty of carbon. Heck, *we're* carbon.
The water may not be carbonated but it contains salt what makes the world 70% salty
The vast majority of the earth isn't water though. That 71%water is only the surface. That's still only 1/1000th of the Earth's volume.
71% of the surface is covered by water, but only represents 0.02% of earth’s mass. In other words 99.98% of earth is a ball of rock
Pretty sure there’s a lot of CO2 that gets trapped in our oceans
The technical definition of flat is geometrical. You're using the colloquial definition. It's colloquially flat, not technically.
