That took me too long.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Please explain...

Am I missing a very obvious joke, besides the wildly false claim?

Edit: I just read it below. I'm dumb.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago

Nothing false about it.

How many stars are there in the solar system?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Yeah, I know. Hence my edit.

[-] [email protected] 61 points 9 months ago

H~2~O ...so, 2 hydrogen atoms in one water molecule.
How many stars in the entire solar system ? Well, the answer is one 😋

[-] [email protected] 40 points 9 months ago

Can confirm. When I look up all I see is a single star and it hurts my eyes real bad when I look at it.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Hey guys, look at this big dumb dumb. He's never seen the moon before! There's obviously two stars in the sky

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

But the moon and the sun can't be in the sky at the same time. Otherwise it would be night time in the day!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Actually, if it's a new moon, they can.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

never heard of private jets before? I hear lot's of stars own one.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

So there's this giant floating orb in the sky and we're not supposed to look directly at it yet no one questions this‽

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I wish people would stop pretending like we live on a ball orbiting a star. We live on a disc, and Australia is on the tails side, and we each have a star, like a sexy flaming-ball-of-gas Sandwich..

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Good, good, that the best test for star identification

The monster math?!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It was a classroom smash.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

You could argue that it's based on semantics, though. If you go by a different definition of star, more colloquially, planets like Venus and Mars are visible as "stars" in our solar system.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

Dihydrogen Monoxide should be banned.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

And hydric acid too!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

It's too late. ALL world leaders are in BIG DHMO's pocket. They claim it is ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE and pay "scientists" to parrot this nonsense. WAKE UP PEOPLE. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

!Hydro [email protected] is coming for you

[-] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

The funniest part is nobody officially recognizes this as a name.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Define nobody. I've heard this joke from at least high school and I'm over 40. My teacher pulled it on my class, and probably every class he had.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Go to any institution and scientific journal. You will never see this name. Nobody uses it aside from like you just said jokes and whatnot officially its never used. It's scientific name is water. Good luck finding this in anything published for peer review.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Ah, I didn't realize you meant it that way. I have no argument against that, nor do I desire to have one.

[-] EmoDuck 24 points 9 months ago

Bullshit.

Hydrogen atoms per water molecules: 2

Stars in the solar system: Sol, Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Timberlake, possibly even more...

[-] ThrowawayPermanente 24 points 9 months ago

God damn it

[-] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Ignoring the joke.

A metric cup is 250 ml.

250 ml = 250 g (the density of water is intentionally 1.000 g / ml)

Water ~= 18 g/mol ( H 1.008 g/mol, O 16.something g/mol)

250 g / 18 g/mol = 13.8 mol

13.8 mol * 6 * 10^23 atoms/mol = 8.33 * 10^24 molecules of water

And there are two atoms of H in one molecule of water, so 1.66*10^25 atoms of hydrogen in a glass of water.

That's a lot

[-] EmoDuck 12 points 9 months ago

The craziness thing about all of this is that there is actually such a thing as "a metric cup"

[-] Classy 5 points 9 months ago

It's crazy how much stuff is out there. https://www.universetoday.com/36302/atoms-in-the-universe/

[-] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

At least twice as much!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

There's also more hydrogen in a glass of water than oxygen.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Only if you're counting atoms. There's more oxygen by weight.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Don't mol shame.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

There are more reposts of this meme than there are stars in the entire Solar System.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Well, that’s true in our solar system.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Ours is the only Solar System, named after our star Sol. Others are generically called star systems or stellar systems.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Who else counted the fingers before reading the text? I save you the hassle, it's 5.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Toyota hydrogen V8 for the win !!!
