But it does correlate for a given volume. Given that Momo has the same physical dimensions and shape as a human, if she were the same mass, she would float. She doesn't. Therefore, she has a higher mass.

If I remember correctly the specific gravity of the individual components also plays a part since we as humans have a specific gravity almost identical to water we float. If the composite specific gravity of AI chassis is just a little bit higher they might sink a little bit.

I liked how the comic would exactly be the kind of images couples posts to their friends on social media, as a cutesy relationship collage. As in we're seeing exactly what they want to share.

Gauging on Faye's more serious expresion makes me think if she's thinking 'don't fart' and is trying her best to keep it in. (where is my mind, lol)
--- Quote from: Bad Superman on 22 May 2018, 13:00 ---A cybernetics expert named Maddox wants to experiment on Data, mostly by disassembling him, which poses the very real threat of Data's destruction. Maddox continuously treats Data like a machine, denying him basic human rights (as displayed, for example, by him entering Data's quarters "unannounced and without permission"). When asked by Picard why he seems to care so little for Data's personhood, Maddox ultimately says this:
"You are imparting Human qualities to it because it looks Human – but I assure you: it is not. If it were a box on wheels I would not be facing this opposition."
- Maddox, to Picard and Louvois

I saw Ted 2 yesterday and that looked to be the same issue almost.

That makes my aspie brain wonder if there is such a thing as public parts.

I would think that means she's no airhead.

As a mature man, my father was quite fit and had very little body fat. While he was very comfortable in the water, and very capable at swimming, he had to work hard at staying afloat (the phrase "sinks like a stone" comes to mind). He often joked that it was easier for him to take a few deep breaths, sink to the bottom, and walk back to shore than it was to swim back. So, yes, the specific gravity of a persons body would affect how (and even if) they float.
