If the air were colder, it would also be more dense and therefore more would fit in the glass. But this whole discussion is pointless. It's a semantic argument, and saying that things are always (or never) full makes the word 'full' meaningless. Neither argument aligns with how the word is used, therefore they are both wrong.

Well another showerthought, we don't even know like 99% of the people who live within a couple block radius of us, unless you're in a particularly friendly village or suburb. There could be amazing people living one street over from you for years that you will never meet.

My great grandparents were already dead when I was born and the only thing I know about them is that one of my great grandmothers said that she's seeing devils on the wall( first time when she saw a TV). So yeah, literally live your life to the fullest and stop fucking caring about what others say, in 100 years from now you will barely be a distant memory in your descendants mind.

True, but my name is attached to different items hosted in a few different museums, one of which being the Hungarian national museum.

So while nobody will know who I was as a person, they will at least have to look at my name every now and again.
