@gigabecquerel Wow. Nature is amazing.

@gigabecquerel :neocat_sip_glare:

@gigabecquerel hahaha

@gigabecquerel

That’s some heavy water.

@gigabecquerel my observations from downtown San Francisco confirm this

@gigabecquerel i was like ooooh. And then I was like wait a minute!

@gigabecquerel There are exactly 2 atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of water (H2O)

@gigabecquerel Even twice as much!!1!

@gigabecquerel i love it

@gigabecquerel Took me like 3 seconds... Nice one.

@gigabecquerel Although, there are as many of it as whiskey doses in my glass as a celebration for the weekend !

@gigabecquerel image description (you may be able to update your post to make it more accessible): hand holding glass of water with the caption “there are more atoms of hydrogen in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system”

@gigabecquerel isn't there just a single hydrogen atom in a water molecule?

@gigabecquerel

An image of a glass of water, the caption reads: "There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water, than there are stars in the solar system."

#alt4u

@isotopp

@gigabecquerel True

@gigabecquerel This was an evil mental rollercoaster.

@gigabecquerel

@gigabecquerel 😆

@gigabecquerel
So true !

@gigabecquerel

Is that meant to be"in a single drop of water"?

I thought there were two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule.

Pardon my ignorance if this is wrong or if this is satire.

@gigabecquerel @graydon Well done. Was this your meme or just passing it on?

@gigabecquerel
WOW! 😅

@gigabecquerel (mumbles something about OH- and H+ ions)

@gigabecquerel
I think you mean cup, not molecule

@gigabecquerel almost IgNobel standard...!

@gigabecquerel

I had to read through a lot of replies before I caught up to "... the solar system" bit.

Well played.

@gigabecquerel

@gigabecquerel

fusion not nuclear

@gigabecquerel 😮

@gigabecquerel And the number of takes I did on that ("Huh-- wait-- oh, right") is more than either.

@gigabecquerel In fact 2x more. Thankfully, they're not as big.

@gigabecquerel @DarrylAnderson
Molecule? Perhaps glass.

@gigabecquerel Not true for the Proxima Centauri System.

@gigabecquerel Mina-san, please remember to hydrate yourselves. 💧

@gigabecquerel But not more than bars in a twix

@gigabecquerel When the water molecule is really really large I guess they could all fit 😏

@gigabecquerel

Not wrong.

@gigabecquerel

I did the Patrick Stewart double take.

@gigabecquerel

@gigabecquerel really makes u think

@gigabecquerel really?

@gigabecquerel Literally twice as many, eh?

@gigabecquerel
And just how many stars in the solar system. The world may never know.

@gigabecquerel
🤔

@gigabecquerel even double as many 😲

@gigabecquerel

@gigabecquerel I'm so angry 😡🤯😅

@gigabecquerel that's funny. Does it satirize internet memes? Well, it does. But intentionally?

@gigabecquerel
@vicgrinberg
Wow, that is amazing!

🙂

@gigabecquerel

*double takes*

*triple takes*

@gigabecquerel lol

@gigabecquerel @cstross Troll!

@gigabecquerel What?

@gigabecquerel @lowqualityfacts :blobRofl:

@gigabecquerel IFLS

@gigabecquerel so much for ipv6

@gigabecquerel
Edit it and add alt text

@gigabecquerel that's staggering, isn't it?

@gigabecquerel tempted to use this thread as a source of "people I can safely ignore" block list

@gigabecquerel The "solar system" got me, I was thinking bigger, like "galaxy" and was stunned for a while.

@gigabecquerel 👏

@gigabecquerel lmfao omg i didnt realize

@gigabecquerel touché

@gigabecquerel this is very good.

@gigabecquerel 😂 So inspiring!

alt text: Avhand with a glass of water in front of a white background, text below reads: "There are more hydrogen atoms in a single water molecule than there are stars in the entire solar system."

@gigabecquerel I think @todayilearned should boost this..

@gigabecquerel In a glass of water, you mean? A water molecule contains only 2 hydrogen atoms.

@gigabecquerel Which is heavier - an ounce of lead or an ounce of silver?

@gigabecquerel lol

@gigabecquerel OMG AMAZING SO INSPIRING

@gigabecquerel true dat

@gigabecquerel
ewe

@gigabecquerel@chaos.social no there aren’t

[source: I asked an LLM]

@gigabecquerel I admit, I had to read this multiple times. Maybe it's better that I did not study chemistry, then.

@gigabecquerel 😆

@gigabecquerel 2>1 🙂

@gigabecquerel EXACTLY twice as many! Coincidence?!

@gigabecquerel
took me embarrassingly long

@gigabecquerel

This is genius.

Mind blown, reversed, unblown, stalled and refusing to restart, and then blown in a direction heretofore unknown.

@gigabecquerel @tuxflo think big!

@gigabecquerel let's calculate
An average glass is approximately 200 mL (200 cm³), let's accept that it's filled up full. The density of water on standard conditions is 1g/cm³, so it's 200g. The atomic mass of water is 12 atomic mass unit, so one mole of water is 12g, which means that there are about 8 moles of water in the glass.

@gigabecquerel In itself, that's a correct statement.

@gigabecquerel @lowqualityfacts

@gigabecquerel That was the good one! :))

@gigabecquerel @EverMama8_ And this is why it’s so hard to teach science these days.

@gigabecquerel *sad Jupiter noises*

@gigabecquerel Shocking if true! (editor: it is true :-)

@gigabecquerel Ik had hem door @Eetschrijver

@gigabecquerel

@gigabecquerel i mean, only just

@gigabecquerel Depends on the solar system.

@gigabecquerel Technically correct! The best kind of correct.

@gigabecquerel Ah, ya got me! Well done :-)
