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

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.

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

Is there another star coming soon?

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 16 points 1 week ago (5 children)

No, but they're changing water so it only has one hydrogen atom

Give a person a glass of H2O and they drink for a day. Give a person a glass of OH and they'll never have to drink again.

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...

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

Sure, now go try to explain this to all those scientists creating mini black holes at the LHG.

But there are more hydrogen atoms in that star than there are in Earth's water!

And hydrogen plus oxygen plus energy equals water...

So if we oxygenate the Sun...
