I’m not sure if this is a shower thought and I’m sure I sound like a complete tool, but thinking about it on a small scale makes a lot more sense. It’s like if you fill a bathtub to the brim and then climb in, the water will overflow. I have to imagine in SOME WAY having hundreds of thousands of ships in the ocean has to be affecting the water level. Is this already a thing or do the people reading this want what I’ve been smoking? 😂

technically, yes you are correct, every ship in the ocean IS raising the water level.
However the amount of water they are displacing is so minimal you would never be able to tell the difference.
