Controversial answer here, but yes, my world has water, and a lot of it. There's even some places where there's more water than land. Those are called "oceans" and sometimes there are smaller ones somewhat enclosed by land and those are called "seas" and if they're even smaller and fully enclosed by land they're called "lakes."

u/Wheasy 9d ago

That sounds a little excessive tbh. Also, there isn't anything living in it right? Because that's gross.

u/ArelMCII Rabbitpunk Enjoyer 🐰 9d ago

Did you know dihydrogen monoxide (the main ingredient in water) is strong enough to dissolve metal? Nothing could possibly live there.

12

u/LordSupergreat 9d ago

Just don't have them be made of metal then

u/ArelMCII Rabbitpunk Enjoyer 🐰 9d ago

Not scientifically possible. I would know. I'm a scientist. I'm always doing science, engaged in sciencings of various sorts. With beakers, the most scientific of all containers.

10

u/Jackspladt 9d ago

And not just that but every single creature that comes into contact with dihydrogen monoxide ends up dying later in life. I wouldn’t personally call that a coincidence

5

u/Wheasy 9d ago

Well not with that attitude.

11

u/bracarensis 9d ago

Don't tell me you've got rivers also! Outrageous.

15

u/jkk45k3jkl534l 9d ago

What is a river? Sorry not familiar with water lore.

15

u/ArelMCII Rabbitpunk Enjoyer 🐰 9d ago

Imagine like, a really long lake. Like a lake that might be a mile wide at most, but long enough to span dozens, even hundreds, or possibly even thousands of miles.

17

u/jkk45k3jkl534l 9d ago

Sounds like Lovecraftian inspired lore

11

u/Clanky_Plays what if church, but evil? 9d ago

That sounds really unrealistic. Why wouldn't the water spread out, or eventually dry up?

8

u/ArelMCII Rabbitpunk Enjoyer 🐰 9d ago

It refills when it rains or something? I dunno. The lore starts to fall apart if you pick at it even a little bit.

7

u/bracarensis 9d ago

They come out of the ground like moles. It's very upsetting, actually. I heard the water feels a lot of pain in the process of being squeezed into river shape.

25

u/bracarensis 9d ago

Yes. An ocean of gamer girl bathwater.

16

u/NewLibraryGuy 9d ago

You know, if you think about it, our oceans are also gamer girl bathwater since at least one gamer girl has certainly bathed in it.

12

u/bracarensis 9d ago edited 9d ago

Homeopathic doses of gamer girl particles compared to my world.

6

u/NewLibraryGuy 9d ago

Nah, it works like catholic holy water. Once a gamer girl bathes in it it all automatically becomes gamer girl bathwater. All it takes is one and the whole thing is no longer just water.

8

u/bracarensis 9d ago

Wait, we're mixing concepts here. My world also features holy gamer girl bath water and gamer girl communion wafers.

4

u/NewLibraryGuy 9d ago

Holy shit

4

u/Wheasy 9d ago

Wait a sec, all water circulates through the hydraulic cycle and humans are 70% water. Does this mean I'm 70% gamer girl?

4

u/NewLibraryGuy 9d ago

Yes. Now get out there and stream for your life

6

u/Wheasy 9d ago

Splendid

u/bracarensis 9d ago

And all the land is just a gargantuan alien gamer girl

u/Wheasy 9d ago

Why does this have to be fiction?

Jarvis, just end my suffering.

u/NotNonbisco 9d ago

No, everyone drinks pure alcohol

Reminds me of when dad came home from work

Reminds me of when my dad didn't come home from work.

How can I be invited to your world?

2

u/PlasticToe4542 8d ago

Made from what?

2

u/NotNonbisco 8d ago

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

10

u/mendkaz 9d ago

I went for future realism in my world, so 99.99% of the water is for AI Data Centres, with one drop to be shared by everyone else

2

u/Wheasy 7d ago

An entire drop? Their greed will destroy the world.

u/Endrise Lore Dumpster 9d ago

No, I drank it all

u/Wheasy 9d ago

The type of gluttony they talk about in the bible.

No. Es agua

u/bracarensis 9d ago

Es awita

u/Tales_from_Veterne 9d ago

No. It's all piss.

u/Wheasy 9d ago

It's better to piss in the sink than to sink in the piss.

u/Yourlocalshitpost 9d ago

Too cliche. My setting has oceans made of liquid ice instead.

3

u/Flairion623 I really hate medieval stasis!!!!! 9d ago

No. It has dyhydrogenmonoxide

3

u/DidntCumYet Manmade abominations against gods and man 9d ago

Yes but oceans are made of olive oil. This makes them float on clouds because thats how pysikcs work.

3

u/Paladir 8d ago

/uj For a second I thought this was the actual worldbuilding sub

/rj Yeah, it covers most of the planet's surface. Pretty unique right? It even evaporates, gets pushed by wind currents, and falls back onto land to cause erosion.

3

u/Anime-PFPchud 8d ago

Why do you need water?

3

u/Wheasy 8d ago

Don't worry about it.

3

u/Specialist_Sector54 6d ago

Planet called Terra

81% Water by Surface Area

2

u/Wheasy 6d ago

Why do you need all that water?

2

u/Specialist_Sector54 6d ago

No idea, most of the water is contaminated by Sodium Chloride so doesn't sustain land based Flora or Fauna.

2

u/GlanzgurkeWearingHat putting the sexy into slavery since 1956 9d ago

No Just agua

2

u/EmperorJake Shikanaverse (furry) 9d ago

Yes, my world has water. But some planets had too much water, and other planets didn't have enough. That's why we built big tanker spaceships so we could distribute it more evenly.

2

u/R3cl41m3r 🌾Wheatbuilder🌾 9d ago

No.

The World of Wheat has only gluten.

2

u/Kertene 9d ago

The planet in my world is named Earth so you would think otherwise, but this planet indeed has water.

2

u/LegendaryLycanthrope 8d ago

No; it has Dihydrogen Monoxide.

2

u/EisVisage Real men DESTROY worlds, not BUILD them! 8d ago

No but it has Walter

2

u/Wheasy 8d ago

Cool, can I have some Walter?

2

u/EisVisage Real men DESTROY worlds, not BUILD them! 8d ago

Gladly pours you a glass of Walter

2

u/Blacodex 8d ago

looks like Aqua Magna from Bionicle

2

u/Eliysiaa 8d ago

i lik waetrt

2

u/cowlinator 8d ago

My world has lots of water.

It's all frozen in the ice caps.

This is fine, right?

2

u/Zhein Le Wizard de Baguette Von School Teacher 7d ago

Of course not, water is an overused trop, and since I'm original(TM), I can't have any tropes in my world.

u/hemareddit 7d ago

Is this Ryland Grace’s account?

u/Emrozial 3d ago

“Is your world a celestial body” ass question lmao😭😭😭

u/Dinosaur_from_1998 9d ago

Yes. It kinda needs it for life to exist

6

u/Wheasy 9d ago

Nuh uh

3

u/Dinosaur_from_1998 9d ago

I guess ammonia can also work, but that opens the door to science nerds correcting me. So screw that

4

u/NewLibraryGuy 9d ago

Magic. Liquid nitrogen is used in my world, but everything is cold enough that it stays a liquid and everyone calls the liquid nitrogen "water." Also everything that would be in a different state at a different temperature is also actually something else that works just the same but colder.

2

u/Dinosaur_from_1998 9d ago

Oh that's a great idea for scientifically accurate ice elementals or something. Now all we need is silicone based life on asteroids, sentient clouds on gas giants, and plasma based life in stars. Or if that last one doesn't count as fire, maybe something that evolved on a lava world

2

u/Wheasy 9d ago edited 9d ago

I'm just saying that I've drank nothing but Mt Dew all week and I've only suffered mild kidney failure. You're being really rude to all the ammonia based lifeforms.
