Water now boils at 176 degrees! Doom! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 664728  New Zealand01/25/2011 03:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am at sea level. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 664728I just boiled water and watched the temperature on an industrial thermometer (belongs to husband) and a digital candy thermometer (belongs to me) The bubbles started to leave the bottom of the pan at 60 degrees C (140 F) I stirred to disperse the bubbles (did not stop the light boiling) A full rolling boil began @ 70C (160F) It was at a full boil (could not increase as temperature increased) at 80C (176F) Normally, I think most of the posts here are crazy (but entertaining) but this one is true. I was able to replicate on the other side of the world at sea level. Pressure here right now is 1014hPa and my cows are all lying down |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1216165The temperature of water from a solid, liquid or gaseous state wouldn't change if you were on another planet on the other side of the galaxy! Which is likely to be where Opie is. Dumbass!! Atmospheric pressure is what causes water to boil at a particular temperature. On Mars, it would boil at a much lower temperature than on Earth, for example. |

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States01/25/2011 03:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used this thermometer [link to www.amazon.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1064613The water boiled at 176. Then I thought why waste the water? I should boil an egg. Spam alert! This is hardly a commercial for it...who the fuck wants to buy a prebroken thermometer? BUT WAIT! There's MORE! If you order in the next 30 minutes we'll send you two, THAT'S TWO, BROKEN THERMOMETERS for the price of one!! And the first one hundred callers will receive a FREE egg timer at NO EXTRA COST!! Visa and Master-card accepted. Shipping and handling extra.. HURRY! CALL TODAY!!! LOL What if I don't want the handling, can I get shipping and fondling instead? Oh, and the egg timer doesn't have that annoying bell on it right? Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

| upstateny User ID: 750445 United States01/25/2011 03:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just to clarify. I did not use any salt in the water. It was RO water. about 3 cups in a stainless pan. Natural gas stove. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1064613I'm at 1332 ft, RO water boils at just about 211-212 (rolling boil). You better get a new thermometer Last Edited by upstateny on 01/25/2011 03:56 PM You can always tell a SHILL by how many posts they make on things they don't believe in. |

You have clearly discoverd water contaminated with a toxic sludge of chemtrails,lithium,and A-1 steak sauce. To verify this discovery, please boil the "water" , place in a three ounce glass - and drink as fast as you can. If you don't die - report back.  |
