    Or fully-hydrogenated oxygen.

    Since hydrogen is a gas in its natural state, isn’t it technically “chilled, rusted hydrogen” because it is a liquid which has less energy than gas?

      gas in its natural state

      Well that’s just your room temperature and pressure bias talking. All states are natural states, subject to environmental conditions.

      Wow, you make a good point 👍

        Disturbing, I know. Don’t tell my wife.

    In all seriousness, you should watch out for a related chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. DHMO claims thousands of lives every year!

      That’s why I drink beer 🍻

        Many breweries add DHMO directly to their product without disclosing it on the label.

    But the question is, is it hydrogen oxide or hydroxide?

    source
    • over_clox@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Sounds like you’re describing hydrogen peroxide, as pairs of individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms don’t exactly like to exist alone, so they pair up as H2O2

        So you can burn water!

    And salt is just evil sugar.

      These are the brilliant chucklefuck ideas that keep me coming back to the real internet, no AI slop here, you make a serious point 👍

      and sugar is just deficient garlic

    another quintessential shower thought. I approve.

    aka hydrogen ash

    source
  • twjolson@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Well, at least you got the hydrogen part correct.

    source
    • over_clox@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Its oxidized, so its corroded. AKA, in simple laymans terms, rusted.

      source
      • twjolson@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Rust is commonly referred to oxidation on iron, uncommonly to oxidation on other metals. Never to non-metals.
