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

My bum is itchy and my finger stinks.

There are more hydrogen atoms on your finger than in the entire glass of water

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I used the glass of water to wash my stinky finger.

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

There are more hydrogen atoms on the floor than used to be on your stinky finger!

Big if true :3

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

by this logic there are more water than stars

my work:

water = hydro (aka)
stars = stars (ok like that)
more hydro than stars
ipso facto 💁

[–] HexadecimalSky@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

Think about....do the math, there are less stars in the sol system than there is hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That is a great response for anyone who doesn't know what words mean!

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 days ago

Thanks! I put an amount of thought into it!

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

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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 0 points 4 days ago

And neither includes Pluto. Much to my disappointment

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 0 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

We really need Jupiter to step up its game.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

Well, yes.... And...?

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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...

SOMEONE GET ME KEVIN COSTNER AND A FUCK-TON OF OXYGEN TANKS! WE'RE MAKING A SEQUEL

same with alligators as school taught me

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ans the same amount of Oxygen atoms.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What do you mean? Our Solar System has the same number of stars as a water molecule has oxygen atoms.

[–] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh, i thought you meant the same number of oxygen as hydrogen

Well there are water molecules in the picture ...

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 days ago

Maybe it's a glass of isopropyl.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

Are we not counting Taylor Swift?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 days ago

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...

[–] omniman@piefed.zip 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And that hydrogen becomes piss from a Goth mommy 🤤

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)
