Talk:2784: Drainage Basins

For anyone else who didn’t recognize “Alex Mack” and was confused when the first result on Wikipedia was an American football player with seemingly no reference to the joke at hand, I’m pretty sure this is referencing “Alex Mack” from “The Secret Life of Alex Mack” which was a Nickelodeon TV show in the 1990s. One of their powers is turning into water.

I know of her by way of reading Diane Castle's work, The Secret Return of Alex Mack, which basically took over the Alex Mack fanfiction scene. Hadn't heard of the original until then. 172.68.66.96 03:56, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

I need to point out: Turning into a puddle of liquid is not a superpower. Anyone can do that. Turning back into a solid human again afterwards is the tricky part. ~ Xxj (talk) 04:12, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

I think turning into a puddle of liquid at will counts as a superpower. 172.69.134.132 04:23, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Most things which a typical person does are typically done at will (other than breathing, sleeping, sneezing, and posting comments on the internet). ~ Xxj (talk) 04:52, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Man I thought this was about the kid who jumped off the cruise ship on a dare this week and got pulled under, and was really weirded out that he would joke about that, really happy to see I was dead wrong. 172.68.168.144

"approximately twice the volume of a typical human being"—that implies there was already a witch in the lake previously. After we add the wWotW, there are two dissolved witches. 162.158.94.3 04:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

It's Utah. On the basis of that alone, I'm surprised that there was only one. Vikinghelmet99 (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

The first witch was famously house-struck, not 'melted'. (Then sublimed, though perhaps condensed/redissolved off-screen the next time it rained.) 172.69.79.187 09:33, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Oz is "famously not in Kansas" -- ha! Nicely done.

I didn't know what Drainage Basin was. I first thought it meant which ocean will come and cover this part of land if global warming continues. 2503: Memo Spike Connector (talk) 06:33, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

If it goes badly enough, that'd be the Neo-Panthalassic Ocean... ;) 172.70.86.8 09:13, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
