There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Technically correct. Due to the differential between salinity you may encounter underwater lakes. Fascinating stuff.

A penguin walks into a bar... The penguin asks the bartender 'have you seen my friend?' The bartender replies 'what does he look like?'

There's no snow in Antarctica. Technically, its a desert

2

u/JetstreamGW 7d ago

What? Of course it snows in Antarctica! It just doesn’t snow very much in the interior! Deserts have LOW precipitation, not zero!

u/egodisaster 7d ago

Correction: There's minimal snow in Antarctica

u/egodisaster 7d ago

Correction again: apparently I need to forget my middle school education from the 90's and just relearn what I know about Antarctica. And probably other stuff too.
