A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Heating causes evaporation even if boiling isn't technically achieved.
Like how salt pools will evaporate out water despite the earth not constantly being at 100° C.
It's impossible to heat something in a sealed container?
But, regardless, by that definition, all liquids are evaporated liquids, because all liquids evaporate at least a little by the time you get it in your pie-hole.
No, but pasteurization technically is done with an open top container
And, yeah that is technically correct, hence it being in showerthoughts
Let me introduce you to the concept of vapor pressure. The volatility of a material depends on the temperature. Even cold water will still evaporate slowly. Instead is being a binary things, the vapor pressure will increase gradually as the temperature increases.
This means, that you can empty a glass of water by just waiting. You don’t even need to boil the water to make it evaporate. It’s already evaporating very slowly, even in room temperature.
Therefore, raw milk straight from the udder, is also evaporated milk.
