Really makes you think rule
(lemmy.world)
it makes me think, but just not that hard.
It made me think much harder than I should really admit
Gets pretty deep the more you think about it. There are 0 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Does that mean the sun is a negative star?
What I'm saying is, life has no meaning.
I tought a water molecule is 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen? Or does it not count as an atom anymore when it's part of a molecule?
Technically molecules consist of ions, not atoms. Though now that I look it up, they're used more or less interchangeably in English in this context.
Dosen't that depend on the type of bond between the atoms? Ions are created only if there is a ionic bond. Water has covalent bonds so it dosen't create ions.
I would argue that all ions are still atoms. More importantly, not all water molecules ionize under regular conditions, the vast majority in fact remains in molecular form.
Yes, ions are non-neutral atoms. However, the polar bond in H₂O technically means that the atoms in the molecule are ionized.
Did you know we found a planet that’s entirely populated with robots.
And one entirely populated by dead robots
Venus, the old potato.
God fucking damnit
I wish there was some sort of award or acknowledgement whose gravitas was just one tier higher than an updoot so that I could give it to you right now for your flawless communication of the feeling this post created in me.
2 > 1, unless you count Pluto as a star, because if I just want it enough then it surely counts.
It's 2023. Pluto's whatever you want it to be!
Pluto for President!
To be fair there is so much star in the solar system by mass, the rest of it is pretty much a footnote.
Mostly harmless.
noway
