Scientific reasons aside, imagine if seas and oceans were fresh water instead of salt water. What’s the worst that could happen? ~

Science majors and other such brainiacs, stay away from this one; let the starry-eyed dreamers have some fun.

    Fine, I'll put aside my degrees for a few moments and don my fool's hat.


    We'd all be drinking Oceania-pur (The official carbonated ocean water of the Coca-Cola/Pepsico Olympics).   Dare to go off the deep end ... drink Oceania-pur.

    ... there wouldn't be enough salt to preserve / flavor food.

    Life as we know it would end.  I don't think we could exist without saline in the mix.

      Think outside the box: suppose that the oceans and seas have fresh water, the lakes, rivers and streams have salt water.

    Someone asked this question about a year ago. I shan't answer it, though....I am a science geek. (I don't have an answer anyway.)

    That would be liberating for poor countries who have difficulty accessing fresh water... THey could find it everywhere in the world, as long as they are close to the sea.
