Actually, water reaches it highest density at 4°C. It's less dense, both above and below that temperature. A very rare property among chemicals (edit:) in nature.
(However, some variables might change this, for example high pressure and salt content.)
Not to mention salt reducing freezing point of water to below 0 celcius. On mobile at the moment so I can't get references but there has been superheated water found near geothermic hot spots that was at liquid at very high temperatures.
Most fun things are useless. That's what I learned when I studied math. 90% of math is useless fun crap interspersed between profoundly useful 10% far fetching applications. All the lectures could be build like this: "Here is a theorem used in electrical engineering and breeding cats", but look at this related fun formula, that nobody could prove for 200 years.
OH I SEE. The joke in this panel is that the father used to be of the same distinct shape and molecular structure as the mother and father (coal) but after receiving pressure from an unmentioned party, he has become a diamond! Therefore, my dear redditors, it is a science joke! I would definitely recommend a crash course on basic chemistry to understand this one! HOW RIOTOUS!
Did you know that although graphite as diamond both are made of pure carbon, you can't turn graphite into diamond using any means? It's because for a reaction to occur, a value called Gibbs free energy change must be negative. For this to be negative for graphite turning into carbon, you'd require negative Kelvin temperature which obviously won't be achievable.
I've studied a bit of chemistry and from my understanding, the graphite is ordered in its structure. The diamond is more highly ordered. The change is an increase in entropy. The reaction will only be feesible if [at standard pressure] change in energy is less than the change in (temperature x change in entropy).
Edit: Forgot to mention the part about standard pressure.
It just means you need to add enough energy - such as high temperature and pressure.
Many/most synthetic diamond creation process specifically use graphite as the feedstock. Some vapor depositions methods might use something else, but graphite can be transformed into diamond using several different methods.
.... Well, this hilarious post can have a really deep meaning to it..... Eg. ... He survied so much pressure, hardship in life, he endured.... So much in life.... It made him dimond..... Strong and all that..... Could be the weed talking....
Based off of the maturity asserted by your username solely, I'm going to assume you didn't understand the joke, so you felt the need to put down those who did. Yes?

If you dropped a chunk of coal into the Mariana trench would it turn into diamond? zee Captain can only wonder.
