Soooooooooooo I made some ice. I poured the water from the filtered pitcher into the ice tray and placed it into the freezer. I go into the freezer a couple hours later to get some more ice and this is what I find.

Someone please tell me how ice freezes UP. I took this with my ipad so the quality is really shitty but how does an icicle form upwards???

While most substances contract themselves when freezing (shrinking by decreasing their volume), water does exactly the opposite and expands. That is why a glass bottle of water in a freezer may actually break if not thick enough to withstand the pressure generated by the increasing volume of water.

When a thin crust of ice forms, it can trap a tiny bubble of liquid below. As the freezing goes deeper, the water tries to expand until it reaches a tiny hole in the lower layer of the ice crust.

The bubble tries to go up, but the road is blocked by the hole, so as it begins to solidify, it is forced up through the hole and starts freezing around the edges. Step by step, the droplet shrinks by freezing and the only way the remaining liquid can go is up.

As it climbs, it forms a hollow spike filled with water, until it freezes completely. The spike can grow quite long and thin, as the only energy required to lift the water comes from the expansion of the water itself, during the freezing process.

its because the aliens are trying to harvest the water off of our planet and some of your water in your ice try must have been pulled up from the aliens during the process it froze and now you have that.

Anti-gravity! Genius!

See I love the response, but why do I want to smack people when I see long responses?

Due to the increase in availability of information these days, which in part is due to the advancements in technology, our attention spans have been drastically altered, and while it might take only 2 to 3 minutes to read such a "long" response, hearing someone say it in a youtube video while fancy graphics fly across the screen and titties bounce up and down in the background with the words PHY and SICS sharpied on each one...well, that keeps us more entertained than just a bunch of words. It is also one of the largest hurdles writers have to face in this day and age; how to keep a reader hooked whose mind is being warped to desire information and entertainment at a speed much too fast than that person can read. It started with radio all the way back in the day, then TV took that over, then the internet...what's next? Virtual reality? Either way, this here is another long informative block of text just to piss you off, eat a dick : )

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
