Today, while reading some chemistry notes I came across the term "solid water". Completely stumped, I asked myself, "What the hell is solid water?" Then I heard my little cousin say "ice." I'm a 4th year science major in university. He still checks the closet for monsters. FML

It's okay, when you study so much you can have stupid lapses like that.

It happens. You don't really realize what some things are at first, even if it should be obvious.

I made the same mistake in Honors Chemistry this year. Except in front of the whole class. :/
So don't worry; You're not alone. xD

Hey monsters in the closet is a growing problem/epidemic. Don't make fun of your cousin for being smart and aware

because of the vast amount of information you have, you are allowed to forget the basics, that's common

It's not hard to get confused when you're reading chemistry notes, such as heavy water :)

In my opinion, solid water actually usually *is* quite hard.

So, I have a tough question for you, OP, but it might help you study:
can you tell me what liquid ice is?
YDI ;)

solid water or hard water in chemistry is act the name given to water containing dissolved calcium carbonate, so yeah, ur a retard

Well If you took chemistry you'd know that there is heavy water, solid water and whatever the likes. If he's a science
Mayjor it is easy to get all these names
Mixed up. Thumbs down for all your laughing at him because if he's in a university they are
Obviously studying more difficult material and it common to over think alot things.

Take it from a college senior majoring in chemistry, "solid water" is not a the same thing as "hard water." There are times when it is advantageous to use the phrase "solid water" instead of ice, such as when looking at an expanded phase diagram, since water actually has 11 different solid phases.

Pointing out when people confuse 'your' with 'you're' was once a decent reason to insult people; but now it's done so often and by so many people, it's just annoying. Give it up.

Was there not an FML about an American who went into a drive-through, told their order to a garbage bin, and then started yelling at that garbage bin for not answering? And you think Canadians are dumb?! BTW, figures an FML posted by an American would have happened in a drive-through. They need to stop being such gluttonous pigs.

When I officially learned that people say that, "solid water, liquid water" it really bugged me, and it was like "Why not call it ice? and WATER?" The reason they didn't in my class is because, in Astronomy, most of the time they aren't referring to H20. And you've grown up with it having distinct terms for the stage it's in. It's understandable a little kid would get it without thinking about it, they aren't programed yet. It happens, but it isn't an FYL or YDI. It's more like an I've never heard this term before and my younger cousin shed new light on the situation.

Exactly... I was doing a biology test, and one of the questions (this is college mind you) was "Where does the energy used for photosynthesis come from?" And the choices were something like:
a. water
b. sunlight
c. chlorophyll
d. mitochondria
e. Krebb's Cycle
f. Calvin's cycle
Now, don't get me wrong, I knew exactly what photosynthesis is; it's the means of converting sunlight to sugar... However... I was thinking this was a trick question that was seeing how much attention we paid to calvins/krebb's cycle, so I randomly guessed between one of the two.
Naturally, had I not overthought it, I'd have picked the right answer (sunlight).
a. water

Yeah, I agree. Remember, in chemistry we have terms like "dry ice" to refer to something that is *not* H2O. Personally, I'd get "frozen water" much more quickly than "solid water," as "solid water" might mean "water with one element added that solidifies it."
