We should never forget the hydrogen Bob that ended the beautiful country of Samholy, that famous Samholian country just 2 miles west of SanDiego's Petco Parker. One cup of pure water contains more than enough hydrogen to do that and more. Samholy, ah yes the beautiful country of Samholy.

There are more quarks in a single helium atom than planets in the solar system.

Ours is the only solar system anless some other alien grots named their star Sol.

The article "the" in "the solar system" means that we are talking about one specific solar system. It's left for the reader to decide which one should be assumed, but in this case it's actually clear that ours is meant.

That means, it's clear that the meme is talking about our solar system, not some other solar system somewhere nor some bunch of solar systems.

Sol, Solaris, Solarium? … The romans won.

There’s more cells in our brain than brains in our entire body.

Are we not counting Taylor Swift?

I've been living in the solar system for awhile, and lemme tell you, that rating's pretty accurate. Now if only I could find the manager to make a complaint...

I dunno. Samuel L. Jackson is a pretty big star. Scarlett Johansson too.

Don't do this before I've had caffeine.

My hyper caffinated ass read this 8 times before I realized it said star not planets and I was like wtf how many hydrogen are in a water molecule

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

And neither includes Pluto. Much to my disappointment

Well there are water molecules in the picture ...

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Maybe it's a glass of isopropyl.

Mind 🤯 blown

..Wait, what if the Sun had a distant companion star?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Our sun developed in a big cloud together with a whole family of other stars. They all share the same composition. They've tracked most of them. The closest is relatively close by and just a bit heavier than ours.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

just a bit heavier than ours.

How rude!

And I really hope it stays that way, at least until it's not my problem to worry about anymore.
