Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

I wanna drink this icy cold liquid, or would it freeze inside of my throat before heating up enough to turn back into normal water?

Reading the figures on the paper, the water is supercooled to a chilly 225K (-48°C).

Best case you get a brain freeze.

Worst case

The supercooled state is unstable. It would probably crystallize into a solid in your mouth as you chugged it. Yikes.

So long as no one makes ice 9, we'll all be good.

well, ice vii can exist naturally at room temperature -- in some diamonds.

Um, It already does that in my refrigerator; it's fun to put really pure water in the freezer, let it get really cold, then thump the bottle so it freezes into ice instantly.

These physicists can verify my claim via Zoom, I suppose...

This is quite different! The issue being studied here is that water can separate into two different liquid forms, rather than liquid water and solid ice. Think like how oil and water don’t mix when you pour them into a glass, but they are both water

OK, now that's seriously interesting! Thank You! (Made me want to actually read the article!)
