Water into Wine

I thought we are 70% water

The show directly addressed this with blood bending, maybe not as viscerally as I've seen online but it definitely did. Like if water benders can build enormous ice walls they're definitely the most dangerous benders in Avatar. They could absolutely rip a person's soft tissues off their bones if they tried. It's just seen as so morally wrong that few benders even think about it. Like how we generally view mutilating a body in our societies or other strong taboos.

Also reminds me of the lactokinetic in Misfits. He appeared harmless, but if you had consumed any dairy products that were still in your body, he could kill you instantly.

It's not untrue that it boils off, but dilution is the bigger factor by a wide margin. When I use wine to deglaze, it will be 100ml. That is then turned into 2 or 3 liters of sauce, so a dilution of 1:20, 1:30. Or, expressed in percentages, 3-5% of the sauce would be wine if none of it evaporated - 14% alcohol would be reduced to less than 0.5% just by dilution.

To get a similar reduction from evaporation, you'd need to boil off 95% of the alcohol, assuming none of the water is also evaporated, which it will at the temperature of deglazing. I don't know the exact ratios here, but even a 75% net alcohol evaporation (which I think is generous) would leave you with a 3.5% alcohol (light beer) before dilution.

I have seen actual numbers for this, probably an Adam Ragusea video. I'll check if I can find it, he's also good with scientific sources besides his own experimentation.

Same way you learn the water content of any vegetable. Weigh it, then stick it in a kiln at 100 degrees for a few weeks, then weigh it again.

Which makes no sense considering there's a war going on. The fire nation goes around burning ppl alive. The last thing I would care about is the moral high road when my opponent genocided a bunch of monks.

If you could control the percentage and get rid of those pesky wine parts, this would be a damn useful power, kill, incapacitate or make drunk depending on BAC.

Excellent against superheroes, most of them are lightweight tea totals, although a mean drunk Superman would be a bad day. Might be tricky to judge the level with the Supes from The Boys though...

I didn't see that coming. Nice surprise at the end.

Earth benders can do the same with the iron in blood

Air benders can blow up your lungs

Firebenders can remove the heat from your body or boil your blood

Maybe he just has ABS

Somewhere there's some catacombs with dessicated corpses. I think it might have been Prague. So you could weigh some of them and take an average.

Lamentable, we had the finest Tupperware back in those days you could see fish flake shards of micro plastics scratching off.

This is actually (spoilers for terrible movie Scales: Mermaids Are Real) the climax of the movie Scales. Mermaids can control water and their blood heals people in that movie, so hunters are trying to get their blood and then one guy tries a last ditch bad guy move and the main character pulls all the water out of his body and he horrifically melts.

Kind of made me side with the hunters at that point it's a horrifying power.

Wine is 80-90% water. So that can be turned into wine with a wine base. And so forth. What is the end result?

For anyone not aware of them, there's a rather intense set of Behind the Bastards podcast about it.

Truly grim.

Now we're at least 10% plastic, so that drove the other numbers down.

Ethanol poisoning apparently
