This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sounds like the same thing that happens at 0°C with very pure water that stays liquid, but shake it and bam! It insta-freezes.

Sometime water bottles display this trait in temps just below freezing. Liquid water in the bottle but break the seal and pop! Frozen

Doesn't have to be pure for that! I've seen it happen with those cheap plastic sleeve popsicles. It's kind of fun flicking them and watching the ice radiate through.
