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

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.
krashmo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey guys, look at this big dumb dumb. He’s never seen the moon before! There’s obviously two stars in the sky
riskable@programming.dev 1 year 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‽

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…

Good, good, that the best test for star identification

Dihydrogen Monoxide should be banned.

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

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

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.
ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
God damn it
EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Bullshit.
Hydrogen atoms per water molecules: 2
Stars in the solar system: Sol, Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Timberlake, possibly even more…
Kayel@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Ignoring the joke.
A metric cup is 250 ml.
250 ml = 250 g
Water ~= 18 g/mol ( H 1.008 g/mol, O 16.something g/mol)
250/18 = 13.8 mol
13.8 mol * 610^23 atoms/mol = 8.3310^24 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@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
The craziness thing about all of this is that there is actually such a thing as “a metric cup”
Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
It’s crazy how much stuff is out there. www.universetoday.com/…/atoms-in-the-universe/
critical@reddthat.com 1 year ago
At least twice as much!
Aceticon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There are more reposts of this meme than there are stars in the entire Solar System.
joyjoy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
There’s also more hydrogen in a glass of water than oxygen.
TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 1 year ago
Only if you’re counting atoms. There’s more oxygen by weight.
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Don’t mol shame.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Well, that’s true in our solar system.
doctordevice@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Ours is the only Solar System, named after our star Sol. Others are generically called star systems or stellar systems.
Spzi@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Who else counted the fingers before reading the text? I save you the hassle, it’s 5.
thepianistfroggollum@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
Alright, I know where they went wrong here. There are more hydrogen atoms in a glass of water than stars in the universe.
There are about 1.58 x 10^25 hydrogen molecules in 8oz of water, so there would be twice that many
Dave@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
Is it wrong? I’ll do some complex math, so feel free to ask follow up questions.
Hydrogen atoms in one molecul, of water: 2
Stars in the entire solar system: 1
2 is larger than 1 [citation needed]
thepianistfroggollum@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
I’m sorry for your poor reading comprehension.
TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 1 year ago
a hydrogen molecule is H2, this is about water
4am@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Did they read “a mole” and misinterpret it as “molecule” when writing the headline?
hakobo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The solar system only has 1 star, so it’s accurate
Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I get the joke, but from the earth looking out, the other planets are all stars as well.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
Not really. Stars twinkle; planets don’t. That’s the easiest way to tell if you’re looking at a star or a planet reflecting light.
chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Might depend on language also. Being a weeb, my example is going to be Japanese, where Hoshi(星) can mean both star and planet.
Looking in wiktionary, sometimes this can be translated more to “heavenly body” but the source seems to have been about twinkling things in the sky. Still, I’ve definitely heard what would translate to “this star” being used for the planet the speaker lives on.

Toyota hydrogen V8 for the win !!!

That took me too long.

Please explain…
Am I missing a very obvious joke, besides the wildly false claim?
sj_zero 1 year ago
Nothing false about it.
How many stars are there in the solar system?
