#2This reminded me about "How can the Bumblebee fly even though it's not aerodynamically capable of doing so? Because no one told it about this limitation". Upon some search, for an accurate quote, I learned that this is a myth, and that Bumblebee flight does not violate the laws of physics [0]

Do they do this when you put food in the tank? Funny you mention it because I just noticed my snails doing this the other day… it sounds weird but I have engineers come to my house just to see it because they don’t believe it

#7I vaguely remember there's a science fiction story about an underwater civilization where the buoyant force servers like gravity for us. Since the force points outwards, for that civilization, the planet is "up above" their head and the space is "down below".

That’s such a great idea for a story, especially if you start thinking about the size of the oceans, connecting to inland lakes via river networks, etc.
