Or fully-hydrogenated oxygen.

That works too 👍

Every person that died drank it before their death. Coincidence? I don't think so!

I think its neat too! Hydrogen bonds ftw.

Nitrogen bonding is more fun.

Found the huffer

Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 155d (6 replies)

Guess again. Think nitrogen bonds in exothermic redox reactions.

Guess again. :(

Edit: Nitrous Oxide is not exothermic in humans, for the medicine or the fun. Its an NMDA receptor agonist.

Since hydrogen is a gas in its natural state, isn't it technically "chilled, rusted hydrogen" because it is a liquid which has less energy than gas?

Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca · 28 pts · 155d

gas in its natural state

Well that's just your room temperature and pressure bias talking. All states are natural states, subject to environmental conditions.

Wow, you make a good point 👍

In all seriousness, you should watch out for a related chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. DHMO claims thousands of lives every year!

That's why I drink beer 🍻

jrs100000@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 155d (2 replies)

Many breweries add DHMO directly to their product without disclosing it on the label.

over_clox@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 155d

Damn, I thought they filtered all that out with fish bladders or some shit like that. Fuck, well today I learned.. /s 😂🤣

450 Canadians drown every year, and only Doug Ford is brave enough to address this tragedy.

another quintessential shower thought. I approve.

BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 154d (2 replies)

But the question is, is it hydrogen oxide or hydroxide?

over_clox@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 154d (1 reply)

Sounds like you're describing hydrogen peroxide, as pairs of individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms don't exactly like to exist alone, so they pair up as H2O2

So you can burn water!

These are the brilliant chucklefuck ideas that keep me coming back to the real internet, no AI slop here, you make a serious point 👍

and sugar is just deficient garlic

Delta_V@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 154d

aka hydrogen ash

twjolson@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 155d (6 replies)

Well, at least you got the hydrogen part correct.

over_clox@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 155d (5 replies)

Its oxidized, so its corroded. AKA, in simple laymans terms, rusted.

twjolson@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 155d (4 replies)

Rust is commonly referred to oxidation on iron, uncommonly to oxidation on other metals. Never to non-metals.

over_clox@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 155d (3 replies)

Hydrogen, fully frozen, has been declared as a confusing metal..

I dunno 🤷

twjolson@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 155d (2 replies)

Except you aren't talking "frozen" hydrogen. You're talking "molten" hydrogen.

Even by your made up definitions, you're wrong.

CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 155d

I think hydrogen is arguably a metal but its 2/3 for not a metal depending on which definition you use.

over_clox@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 154d

Hey, I wrote the post, I get to mention other states of matter at other temperatures as well.
