I am so sick of shower thoughts that are people just ignoring definitions of words and using other words instead like it’s some mind bending reality shock. No, birds FLY through the air because that is the DEFINITION of flying you dweeb.

But spoons are just tiny bowls to get food from the bigger bowl, man!

WRONG. Spoons are tiny ladles you degenerate. If you need a tiny bowl go get yourself a cup.

Ladles are just small bowls on a stick

Air is a mixture of gases also qualifying as a fluid, so I see the logic here.

A more interesting question would be in the absence of gravity, would you sink in a liquid or remain on the surface? (Surface tension/buoyancy issue)

Some birds fly through the water.

The common merganser, for instance.

Apparently, swimming inherently requires a liquid.

Centillionaire,

They are so high, swimming way above the clouds.

Air doesn’t float, it just doesn’t sink as hard

AliasAKA,

Fish don’t really swim, they are flying through the water.

That is essentially what penguins do, yeah.
