The ocean is absolutely carbonated. What do you think fish are made of?

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Also, there is shitload of bicarbonate ion in the ocean.
That is not accurate. The earth is 0.02 % water. Oh and that makes at least one stupid alien invasion movie even more stupid.
You mean the one where water is toxic for the aliens?
Wouldn't that 0.02% make it more likely they visited earth without realising the surface is covered in water?
You know, ignoring the fact that hydrogen and oxygen are some of the most common elements in the universe and water is the most common molecule.
There is at least one where they come here to take our water (Oblivion, otherwise an OK movie). The "water is toxic movie" (signs?) is, of course, somehow even more stupid. Man that movie was crap all around.
