You might think the next Games Done Quick speedrun is months away, but if so, we know something you don’t. The spinoff starring GDQ’s lady speedrunners, the Frame Fatales, has once again begun its half-yearly run. In the winter it’s called the Frost Fatales speedrun. In the summer, which is still right now, it’s called Flame Fatales. The Fatales events aren’t as gargantuan as the main GDQ events are — they do not run 24 hours, signing off at around 9 Pacific each night, and they are streamed remotely instead of hosted from a hotel ballroom. But they’re still just as fun to watch and they’re just as important. Flame Fatales benefits the Malala Fund, a non-profit that works to secure free, safe, and quality education for girls around the world. Flame Fatales will open its first day with Jet Set Radio Future, followed by Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Blue Prince (using the same “bingo” format they’re using tor today’s SGDQ playthrough), The Disney Afternoon Collection, G-Force, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage, Yoku’s Island Express, and Link to the Past. Subsequent days will feature titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Rift of the […]

I find it interesting that women are more prone to visible tears because of smaller tear ducts. That explains why in daily life, women often seem to shed tears more easily than men. When it comes to underwater crying, though, those tears would not roll down the cheeks, so it becomes invisible. That invisibility changes the way crying is perceived by others. On land, crying signals distress or emotion to those around you. Underwater, you could cry and nobody would notice. That detail makes me think of how environment influences emotional communication.

The experiment in the sink made me laugh a little, but it also proves something important. Human bodies are not designed to stop producing tears just because we are submerged. Tears are automatic. What I question is the suggestion that whales might cry in a similar way. Their sounds could be emotional, but we cannot equate human crying with whale vocalization. That feels like a stretch to me. Humans are unique in producing tears for emotional reasons. Other animals do not.

As someone older, I connected most with the section about reduced tear production in adults. Dry eyes are a real issue for many people I know, myself included. It is true that aging changes how often we produce tears, and this affects daily comfort. Artificial tears help, but they are not the same as natural tears. Underwater crying is a curious concept, but for older people, the bigger concern is simply keeping enough moisture in the eyes at all.

I have to say, this was one of the most unusual but fascinating episodes I’ve seen. The show asking if humans can cry underwater might sound silly at first, but the way it was explained made me stop and think. As a long-time fan, I love when the series mixes science with emotion. They did not only talk about crying but also about the health functions of tears. That part about tears killing bacteria in minutes really stuck with me. It reminded me of why I enjoy this show—it never talks down to the audience, but it also keeps things simple.

This episode made me appreciate tears in a new way. I used to think crying was embarrassing, but hearing how tears carry stress hormones out of the body was eye-opening. This show teaches me and comforts me at the same time.

I think this episode will be remembered as one of the strangest but also most educational. Many fans will joke about crying in the pool, but behind that is a serious reminder about eye care. The blend of humor and science is why I never miss an episode.

I’m impressed by how detailed the show got. The breakdown of tear layers—the mucus, aqueous, and lipid—was simple but powerful. As someone who wears contacts, I finally understood why sometimes my eyes feel scratchy. I’ve watched this show for years, and episodes like this keep me loyal.

I have always wondered if crying underwater is possible, and this article gave me a clear answer. Yes, the tear glands do not stop working underwater, but the tears mix with the water so they are not visible. For me, the more interesting part is how crying itself helps with emotions and stress. I sometimes feel better after crying, even if I do not want anyone to see me. It is like a private form of healing. If someone were to cry underwater, it might even feel more personal, almost like hiding your tears in the sea. However, I agree with the warning that it can be dangerous. Breathing patterns change when we cry, and if you are in the ocean or a pool, it could increase the chance of swallowing water. So yes, it is possible, but it is also risky.

Reading about tears during sleep surprised me. I did not know we produce basal tears at night to protect our eyes. That information actually connects back to the main question. If our bodies do not stop producing tears while we sleep with closed eyelids, then why would they stop in water? The only difference is visibility. Crying underwater is not about whether tears exist, but about whether others can notice them.
