cool. now we just need the nuclear power to do this!

and even if we don't we just need the nuclear power...

why do they hate nuclear power D:

Is that nearly 100% efficiency really believable? I'm no engineer, but that's a pretty tall claim for any process.

Wouldn't that situation eventually reach steady state again? What with the combusted hydrogen eventually feeding back into the ocean?

"ARMAMENT EXPERTS AGREE: POTENTIAL SUBTERRANEAN TERRAPIN ATTACK POSSIBLE, TURTLES MAY BE STOCKPILING HUMAN WEAPONS"

The body would go here, but when I went to use the theoretical room of monkeys banging on keyboards, ScienceAlert and TMZ had it booked solid for months.

And for my source, let's go ahead and assume that I can convince a minimum of two r/NonCredibleDefense dwellers that some turtles can indeed field assemble certain brands of handgun.

Lol, do a little Google search for something called a potash tailing pile. Gigatons of free salt, usually a little contamination of potassium, clay, various carnalites, and sometimes some chemicals from the milling process, but still about 98% salt.

The problem is that salt is so INCREDIBLY cheap, it's not worth refining to get that 2% contamination out. It's usually cheaper to mine it in a more pure form, and then ship it a thousand kilometers to where it needs to be sold.

Sucked. Intoooooo. A Baaaaageeeeel.

This tracks with everything that I know about space.

Different aliens. :/

That's an extremely alarming prospect. I hope you will expound.

This feels right to me. - A Scientist

Gas giants are just stored alien farts. Their planets smell perfect all the time.

Whenever I see an article that says something "may", I always add "or may not" in my head.

Much better, thanks.

People in the US are killing off endangered species because they want their water softeners.

Discharge doesn't get sprinkled over all the water on earth, it comes out of pipes in real places. Those real places can't handle brine because it will kill everything around. Carthage anyone?

It's obvious you don't know anything, accept it and move on.

Ah, I did not realize hydrogen splitting was such waste heavy, hence the emphasis on “green” hydrogen, which was the thing I did not comprehend. Thank you, kind person.

OP definitely believes….

There is limit to the solubility of salt. It depends on the temp along w/ other factors. Even today there is much more salt/minerals in the oceans than water can hold. Extra salt/minerals turn into depozits. However that does not mean the brine is a problem. While the extra salt/minerals are solidifying, the brine wreaks havoc on the fragile ecosystems.

No it’s all actually just one big giant bagel. An everything bagel to be exact.

This theory (however absurd it may be) could lead to some analysis of black holes with data and who knows, maybe we discover something different entirely.

I'm totally stealing that. That's hilarious.

We're not taking locally here. They claim we will change the ocean but it's basically a closed loop.
