    Right so its the water that causes it to break because of the surface tension of the water.

    Sounds like you are arguing against my phrasing while agreeing with what i understand. Im confused why we seem to be in a disagreement.

    Maybe you can school my dumb ass though, can you eli5 what would need to happen for you to say it was the water that does the work on stopping bullets?

    I wonder relatively what speed those shells would have to hit the water yo behave like bullets and shatter… You wanna revive myth busters and we can find out? Maybe in honor of Grant on his birthday or something would be cool.

    We just need a lot of money, some military connections and a way to put the team back together for it

    It is the water breaking it. The water doesnt compress so the water doesnt absorb enough of the kinetic energy fast enough so the bullet fractures. As i understand it anyway. The 50cal is travelling a lot faster so a lot more force is applied on the bigger rounds.

    Later on they did a dynamite fishing one and we learned being in water when a large enough shockwave hits is VERY bad for internal organs of squishy creatures in it

    Ive told people this many times, we need to create more room for failure. From school, to jobs, to building businesses, to loans, to health.

    If we can try something because if we fail we can try something else, we would find a hell of a lot more to care about in this world.

    And the most important thing we would care more about is ourselves








  • Is this phrasing helpful or hurtful.

    Its making it sound like patriarchy isnt a nebulous web of consequences.

    If its giving people the idea that the patriarchy is something akin to a politcal party or movement then we should probably stop unintentionally giving people the wrong target to hit.

    Its a thing of a billion selfish decisions and consequences going back thousands of years.

    You cant just name it and scare it away, you have to understand how it still exists and set the path for self correction when decisions are made that affect and effect people broadly.

    It cant be fixed by making gender based corrective rules or legislation, its by adopting good practices when making policies for people you wont ever see or hear from because they arent born yet. Hilariously to me, im kind of saying wont we just think about the children.

    Like climate change and pollution its not the world today we can fix, its fixing today so the world can be fixed later

    And thats why its so hard, everyone is arguing about what is first thing we should already be doing but arent

    We need to just start making choices now whenever we find the opportunity, that we wont have to revisit tomorrow.

    And that means finding common ground so we can start agreeing on somethings and making some decisions like that today.

    And im not smart enough acheive that, and it looks like around the world we are all having a hard time finding choices that arent getting unmade by the next people who get to make decisions
