If you're calling me, you should already know whose phone this is. Leave a voicemail and I probably won't call you back. Text me and I might answer!

If I can't set it down or pick it up, how am I meant to fill it or empty it or wash it?

[whateveraspidercan]

None of those are requirements for something to be a bowl though. It's already full

[wolf_blood]

How are those not requirements of something being a bowl?

[whateveraspidercan]

The Dust Bowl wasn’t a bowl you could pick up

[wolf_blood]

...I adore you.

Perhaps I disagree with the Dust Bowl being called a bowl as well.

[whateveraspidercan]

I adore you too! What brought that on though?

Okay in that case your fight is with historians or something

another one I didn't know I hadn't replied to

[wolf_blood]

you being perfect for me brought that on.

Except no one claims that when they coined the term Dust Bowl, they meant "something you would eat soup out of." And you currently are claiming that the parts of the earth that contain the ocean do count as "something you would eat soup out of it."

Re: another one I didn't know I hadn't replied to

[whateveraspidercan]

Oh well I'm glad I'm perfect for you then

But it was called the Dust BOWL because of the geographic area being a "bowl". So geography can be a bowl

Re: another one I didn't know I hadn't replied to

[wolf_blood]

But you weren't talking about geographical bowls, you were talking about soup bowls.

Re: another one I didn't know I hadn't replied to

[whateveraspidercan]

If a geographical location can be a bowl and that bowl is filled with water, meat, and vegetables then it can be a soup bowl

[wolf_blood]

1) I do not agree that a geographical location can be called a bowl, but regardless, the ocean would not be a geographical location that could be called a bowl. The definition of a geological bowl is: "a natural formation or geographical region shaped like a bowl." The definition of a bowl bowl is: "a concave usually nearly hemispherical vessel : a rounded container that is usually larger than a cup."

For reference, the ocean floor: [img]

That is not concave or hemispherical.

[whateveraspidercan]

The key flaw in your reasoning is that is says USUALLY

[wolf_blood]

Oh, honey. You could do better than that.

[wolf_blood]

I feel like now is the right time to point that part of your original argument for it being a bowl was "It’s a big concave dish! That’s a bowl!" and now you're saying it doesn't have to be a concave dish and that is not arguing in good faith

[whateveraspidercan]

I so am not! Overall the ocean is concave!

[wolf_blood]

Not according to every picture of the ocean floor I can find on google

[whateveraspidercan]

How does the water stay in then?!?!

[wolf_blood]

...

I mean whether or not it completely does is probably a little debatable because evaporation, rain, whatever, but... something doesn't have to be concave to CONTAIN things, that's not my argument, my argument is bowls are concave, ocean floor is not concave, ocean is not a bowl

[whateveraspidercan]

It curves inward, higher on the edges than the middle. That's a bowl

[wolf_blood]

[img]

[whateveraspidercan]

That shape is literally called a dish

[wolf_blood]

Is it? I really didn't know that. Anyways, plenty of things are called dishes that aren't bowls.

[whateveraspidercan]

You still haven’t said a single thing to show the ocean couldn’t be classified as soup

[wolf_blood]

I told you, I don't disagree with that bit

[whateveraspidercan]

You just disagree that the ocean is a type of bowl?
