You have Fourier transformations. Why would you need a girlfriend?

If I were the sigging kind, that would be in my sig.  Believe it.

YOINK

I approve of your yoinking.

For context, my commentary on a Battle LA movie review (a shitty alien invasion film):

I watched it, it was... Bad. But popcorn-enjoyable bad, not terrible. I facepalmed when the guy said "they come for our water". No shit? Water is like the third most common element in the universe after hydrogen and helium! (don't quote me on that though) why bother invading a planet when they can harvest pluto's ice and simply melt it?

And the answer of a random guy to it:

water really is one of the rarest "material" in the universe, water in its purest state such as the form found on our planet is hard to find not frozen or dried up on other planets, and we have the largest stockpile of water in our known universe, at least the largest that's accessible, you laughed at a part in the movie due to your own ignorance soooooooooo FUCK YOU

First he's wrong, water is extremely common (just look at Europa, it's covered in 30km of the stuff. Or, you know, comets and asteroids and sh*t.). It's just the liquid water which is extremely rare. But to a technologically advanced civilization, it makes no difference. You just have to melt the ice... Why bother eradicating pesky humans when you can just harvest Europa?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Do you know how much energy it takes to melt all that damn ice?

[Xantalos]

But water's not an element.

[Sirus]

But water's not an element.

What I was about to say

[kaian-a-coel]

But water's not an element.

I should've said "molecule", yes. 

[Frumple]

Why bother eradicating pesky humans when you can just harvest Europa?

Because the eradication comes with a complementary mid-genocide meal and all the after dinner mints you can bother to leave unirradiated.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

But water's not an element.

I should've said "molecule", yes. 

You especially shouldn't have mentioned hydrogen, given that water is 33% hydrogen. And because its name literally means "water creating".

[Skyrunner]

water

find

dried up

Hmm, not sure you can find water if it was all dried up and flung into space. Hmmmmmm.


Also, that answer is incoherent and misinformed. Woo :v Earth pretty much has a thin film of water clinging to it! And 'accessible' is relative: the grocery store across the street is accessible to me but not to you who live in the States. Water is far from one of the rarest molecules, elements, or materials in the universe. That prize goes to elements like plutonium or above, synthethized by artificial processes and quickly decayed to lead. :V

[Loud Whispers]

Hmm, not sure you can find water if it was all dried up and flung into space. Hmmmmmm.

Nothing beats a bottle of anhydrous water.

'Yo Dave, what're you drinking there?'
'Air.'

[Putnam]

air has way too much water in it to be counted as anhydrous

Water is either 67% or 11% hydrogen, depending of if you're going by atoms or mass, respectively.

While I got my formula reading backwards, I'm pretty sure it would be 66% by atoms, not 67%.
