Liquid is a state of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape. When confined in a container and subject to a force such as gravity, liquids will adapt to the internal shape of the container in the direction of the force.[note 1] Liquids are nearly incompressible, maintaining their volume even under pressure. The density of a liquid is usually close to that of a solid, and much higher than that of a gas. Liquids are a form of condensed matter alongside solids, and a form of fluid alongside gases.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space I think your examples of a liquid are not technically accurate. But they are wonderfully illustrative of your point. Bravo
