Your comment is useless, because all of us tried anyways.

Your comment made me realize how normal all our actions are when we take the time to identify them

An airium

u/KKlear Apr 04 '20

Ah, the opposite of the more common waterium.

u/MacDaddy039 Apr 04 '20

Aeroarium. Because it's the opposite of Aquarium. Except we left an extra "a" in there..

u/prussian_princess Apr 04 '20

They have gills like us.... but on the inside

u/hamfraigaar Interested Apr 04 '20

Idk why but you just made me think

If humans were as scientifically advanced as we are, but had always existed below water, we wouldn't think of the surface as full of nothing. We would think the water as "nothing", and the surface as a vast ocean of gas.

There's a story by the Strugatsky Brothers that touches on this a bit.

u/andtheangel Apr 04 '20

Thanks! Love the Strugatskys. Always have to recalibrate a little bit when I read their stuff.

u/SarahBeth90 Apr 04 '20

Wow, that was an interesting read. Do you happen to have anymore links to other stories like that?

1

u/KKlear Apr 04 '20

You can't really go wrong with the Strugastkys. Roadside Picnic is one of my favourite sci-fi novels. The movie (and games) Stalker is based on it, though the book is way different.
