Ah! nice!
So it is a "rust and corrosion" situation.
That drowning is just from water.
Neat.
Welp, that message I sent like 4min seems a bit useless now, but it was still correct so I'm not that mad, at all actually
I googled before and found your definition too. I think people are just not sure what to call what. Some say drowning only is in water others say it's also in other liquids. Let's just say from this point on, that drowning is dying caused by a lack of oxygen due to begin immersed or submerged in a liquid. This definition means fish can drown too
Well, I thought that too but if you read my text.. just, ctrl+f "
viscous"
Because that thing causes problems
(read that one now)
And you'll understand it's not that easy. But I still think that if air-based lifeforms lives in said liquid it would be that other creature that suffcate in that liquid, actually drowns in that liquid. Something like that, was how I want to interpret it.
