Jun 16, 2022 at 0:38 comment added Robert Robert @JBH This site is not a discussion board. You believe my question is the wrong kind of, Is x plausible. You're not willing to explain the problem with it, so your obligation is to vote to close the question. Threats are inappropriate.
Jun 15, 2022 at 21:48 comment added JBH @RobertRobert Do we have a problem? It's your job to actually read the tour material, read through the help center, read the tag wikis, and learn how to use the site. Not ours. Not mine. The purpose of my comments were (and are) to help you understand your obligations when using this site. If you prefer, since you haven't improved your question to meet the expectations clearly stated in the help center, I'll just vote to close your question. Where would you like to take this?
Jun 15, 2022 at 4:11 comment added Robert Robert @JBH Read the question before replying in order to not repeat things that already have been edited. Also it only says Tag wiki when you hover over the learn more section. Link would work better worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/tags/reality-check/info

Jun 10, 2022 at 8:09 comment added JBH @RobertRobert I understand why you used it. You don't understand that you used it improperly. Had you read the tag's wiki you would have found the following: "It should be noted that a reality-check against the Real World is off-topic because the Real World's rules do not require testing and are immutable." The purpose of the tag is to test world rules, not prove whether or not a fictional creature can exist in real life (it can't... it never can...). On the other hand, you are using the science-based tag correctly - to get answers based on science (aka, "reality").
Jun 9, 2022 at 10:48 comment added Trioxidane Isn't it better to do the refrigeration after it left the body? Spewing fire is the opposite. You don't hold something burning inside. You get something that is easy to ignite. Why not check what can be stored safely inside a creature that'll cool down immensely when in contact with air or another substance?

Jun 9, 2022 at 5:59 comment added Robert Robert @JBH Reality check was there because I needed to know if the creature would be viable assuming it was made in real life. I was trying to suggest ways the creature could fail using real world rules, because I want more from the answers than just "Can you do it in Real Life? Of course not." Please, if you know why it fails the reality-check, then give me that.

Jun 9, 2022 at 4:24 comment added JBH Finally, please note that asking if the Leidenfrost Effect will be a problem is a bit odd since you're creating a fictional creature that doesn't obey the laws of physics or biology as we understand them. Note, too, that I've deleted the reality-check tag. You're not using it properly. It's purpose is to test an application against your rules, which means you need to provide all the rules and the test case. Please read the tag wikis before you use them. Thanks!
Jun 9, 2022 at 4:19 comment added JBH Hello Robert, welcome to Worldbuilding. Our job is to help you create and consistently use rules for a fictional world of your own creation. Consequently, it's unclear what your question is. Can you do what your asking? Sure! It's your world and you set the rules. Can you do it in Real Life? Of course not. Can you explain your concern or the reason why you're asking the question? Or do you have a specific question? ("Is this a good idea?" Qs are notoriously vague.) Please note for future reference, asking more than one Q is justification to close the Q (you're asking at least three).
Jun 9, 2022 at 4:08 comment added Escaped dental patient. Hi Robert, what liquid and how cold? Also what sort of volume of liquid are you thinking, how big is the creature?
