Backyard tinkerer and wannabe Engineer: I'll just use this glass jar I used to drain some gas as the thing to drink my water now ..... this is water right?
Not if you need to stir it.
100% Full with 50% volume occupied by Dihydrogen monoxide molecules and 50% volume occupied by a mixture of molecules in gas form, colloquially refer as "air", which contains, according to the statistical data recorded by analyzing the gas molecules in the air in the Earth's Atmosphere, 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other trace gases.

Scientific paper writer
Ah, it's this time of the year again.
(version 3)
Does this work?
If you looped it or created a doubly linked list what would happen?
Realist: Guys, I think this is piss.
I keep piss bottles in my solvent cabinet
After a long romp, a fairly new g/f went into my kitchen, grabbed a 1 gal bottle of white vinegar from the fridge, poured herself a glass and tried to chugged it while I was still in bed recovering. -She had the nerve to think I tried to poison her (for half a minute)!
Read and use labels. lol
Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge? I keep the gallon jug in a cupboard and smaller container just on the counter
Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge?
Imagine the trouble if it rots!
How much vinegar do you use????
It's good for toilet bowl cleaner, weed killer (including poison ivy), wiping down a large cutting board (not used for meat), fruit and veg wash, descaling / removing water marks, rainbow stains or chrome / nickel residue in pans, it softens fabrics if added to laundry, is used for mayonnaise, salad dressings, sticky rice, deodorizing, and combined with baking soda has been the only thing that worked for a clogged drain. It's also cheap in the gallon size and practically free for people on SNAP. (a lot)
That beaker does not look half full to me. Many like 1/3rd full, or at least somewhere between that and half full.
The pedant
My mother in-law is a lab scientist. She says this is accurate.
Literalist: The volume of the container is ~50% water.
There's no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn't a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I'll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver's licence..
What's in the uncharacterized volume?
