What? You can literally see its bones under its skin. And it has teeth.

If the air were colder, it would also be more dense and therefore more would fit in the glass. But this whole discussion is pointless. It's a semantic argument, and saying that things are always (or never) full makes the word 'full' meaningless. Neither argument aligns with how the word is used, therefore they are both wrong.

Then 'technically' no glass in the world has ever been full.

Yes, because lungs are meant to hold 1 atm air. Glasses are meant to hold liquid.

That's the thing about semantic arguments; no one is ever right because definitions aren't rigorous. Words mean only what they are understood to mean, and a glass full of air is understood to be empty.

full
/fo͝ol/
adjective
- containing or holding as much or as many as possible; having no empty space.
A glass holding air could contain more if the air were pressurized, therefore it is not full.

It's 100% efficient. It doesn't move as much heat as a heat pump, but it's as good as a space heater.
