Not really related but this made me want to know if you could do a thing where you put people in a circle with IVs attached between them and circulate the blood from one person to the next?

It would be like a human centipede but with blood and it's a circle.

You may be familiar with hydrofluoric acid from the FOOF thread. If you arent, I recommend against looking up the wiki on it to spare yourself from knowing about hfl acid injuries

Bone issues are the dramatic but lesser of injuries from chronic HF exposure. Chronic exposure more seriously leads to heart disease from extended periods of hypocalcemia. The risk from acute exposure such as in the case of a transport worker getting exposed in that example, is heart attack due to hypocalcemia. Shock, as from a chemical or thermal burn, is often not a huge issue because such an exposure is probably going to cause a heart attack in short order but for gross enough exposure you can start worrying about the normal burn complications too.

iirc the ship sinking doesn't generate suction, but all of the air bubbling out of it can aerate the water and reduce its effective density. With enough air bubbles in the water, the density can be reduced to the point where people and life boats won't float in it any more. It's a bit like how quicksand is formed, but with air and water instead of water and sand.

Once the air stops bubbling the density will return and you'll float back to the surface, obviously, but that might be several minutes for a large ship.

At 3~6 times escape velocity gravity doesn't have a chance to react

Platystemon posted:

It’s phrased poorly, but the point is sound.

An object going straight up loses 9.8 m/s of velocity every second, at altitude zero.

If you go up 130 km in just two seconds, you lose less than 0.015% of your speed. That rounds to nothing.
