Cross these two together and you have a Canada Goose. Aka, the cobra chicken.

I’m sure they’re tasty

Marinated Canada Goose? Like, maybe some vinegar+orange zest overnight… 🤔

You wouldn’t want a confrontation with a Canada Goose. They scary AF.

Likely a typo. Out and Our often autocorrect to each other, and the keys are next to each other.

But once again this proves: the best way to start a conversation on the internet is to be nearly correct. Bad memes start more conversations than perfect memes haha.

Sort of. The triple point doesn’t really exist at standard atmospheric pressure. The true triple point is somewhere around 600Pa pressure – or a out 0.6% of atmospheric pressure. You can achieve this in the upper atmosphere, on Mars, or in a vacuum chamber where you pull the pressure down to that point.

There is such a thing as vapour pressure in our atmosphere which is different than the triple point. You see this as humidity. But this isn’t truly gaseous water – rather it is more akin to liquid water molecules held in a gaseous solution (the atmosphere being the solvent).

Water vapour isn’t really applicable here, unless you’re talking about very low pressures. Although you could consider it a component in a mixed gas, it’s not really gaseous water. The true gaseous form of water is steam. Water vapour is more like water that has been dissolved in the atmosphere.

By analogy: sugar is solid at room temperature. But you can dissolve it in water. Have you converted the sugar into a liquid? No. Because sugar is a liquid only at temperatures above 160°C. But the resulting mixture is liquid.
