Right. It is buoyant, but when additional mass is placed on it, that
additional mass overcomes the buoyancy and it is "pushed" to the bottom.

"pushed to the bottom" is not sinking, idiot. Sinking objects don't need
no push, they sink because they're pulled (gravity).

I tire of these games you are playing, floppy. Piled up ice sinks lower
into water because of the mass of ice. Crustal rocks gathered in a large
pile (a mountain, for instance) do the same just as buildings can if not
properly constructed. If this were not true, engineers wouldn't bother
worrying about whether or not a building foundation can withstand the load
placed on it.

Then explain how these ice cubes ended up in the bottom of the glass?
Did
God do it?

No, your God, whatever the name you give to your faith "does not do
it".
Main reason is that there are no God to save your ass. So quit praying.

Good. I don't believe in God, either.

So quit evoking it to save your ass.

Odd that ou say that, since I thought you were. You keep claiming that
something magical is putting more mass deep into the Earth, causing it to
expand. Since you refuse to state how this happens, I could only assume
that you think some omnipotent deity is the culprit. So where is the extra
mass coming from, Floppy?

Second reason is that ice does touch the bottom of the glass despite it
floats because your glass is too small in height to immerse 9/10th of
the total volume of icecubes.

So, gravity has no effect? None at all?

A guy asking such a moronic question as "gravity has no effect?" in an
observation related to the buoyancy principle is a plain moron. You are
a plain moron.

So I can assume that since you refuse to answer this question, but instead
respond with an ad hominem, that you don't actually know the answer to this
question. You don't know a lot of answers, do you?

This is never the case in the mantle, and that's why slab don't touch
the bottom of the mantle if they are less dense than the mantle, you
prince of morons.

Did I ever say that slabs touch or ever have to touch the bottom of the
mantle? No. I said that they sink into it,

It is the same, moron. If they sink they must go to the bottom of the
mantle.

Why? Ice doesn't sink to the bottom of the ocean, but is certainly does
sink below the surface if enough is piled together in the same spot.
