Water

Me: That doesn't seem right. OH. Oh, I am stupid.

That is a masterfully crafted mansplaining trap.

Chappeau.

There is only one star in our solar system - the Sun.

It's 2 > 1, so correct two hydrogens versus one star: Sol

There are more memes estimating the size of the universe than there are stars in the galaxy.

With greater hydrogen comes greater responsibility.

Most people have more balls than there are stars in our solar system.

Number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water (H2O): 2
Number of stars in our (ENTIRE) solar system: 1

That's the joke.

Petition to classify Pluto as a star

I skipped reading the word stars, and I thought it was deliberately wrong to rile people up.

Iits not a lot, but it's crazy that it happened twice.

My autopilot brain kept skipping over molecule and missing the joke lol.

There are fewer hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are fingers on my hand.

Check and mate.

There actually are more molocules of H2O in 10 drops of water than there are stars in the observable universe.

Also interesting: If you were to take your nerves out and lay them end on end you would die.

Actually interesting fact

Your height is closer in scale to a light second than the size of an atom. And yet atoms seem more approachable than light seconds. Fascinating stuff!

Ken M made a similar joke a while back right?

"You are technically correct, the best kind of correct."

Ok I had to think about this for a second.

This is especially true for blind people.

I couldn’t find the clip, but first thing that came to mind was the StarTalk Live with Buzz Aldrin and John Hodgman.

Hodgman: “maybe they’ll find H 2 2 2 2 O!”

Edit: crap, I have to call myself out. I failed to read completely, thought the screenshotted poster accidentally changed one part of the comparison, instead of deliberately changing both parts. If the original was molecules in a cubic inch of water vs stars in the observable universe, I read this post as atoms in a molecule vs stars in the observable universe.

Apologies, I discovered I was a fool and was excited to share my discovery.

Woah!

I have as many assholes as stars in our solar system, even though it seems like more to Lemmy.

There might even be more hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water, than there are universes we live in!

Reminds me of the time someone on Xitter said that there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in our Galaxy. They got ratio’d pretty damn hard for it. -_-
