Or fully-hydrogenated oxygen.

That works too 👍

"You won't believe how many people each year die from asphyxiation due to this rocket fuel combustion byproduct!"

Have you already signed the petition to ban it ?

NO MORE RAIN! NO MORE RAIN!
Brawndo, its got electrolytes, its what plants crave!

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

Ice is just water in slow motion

Neatly arranged water

I think its neat too! Hydrogen bonds ftw.
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 155d
Nitrogen bonding is more fun.
over_clox@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 155d
Found the huffer
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 155d
Guess again. Think nitrogen bonds in exothermic redox reactions.

Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 155d
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
Well that's just your room temperature and pressure bias talking. All states are natural states, subject to environmental conditions.
over_clox@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 155d
Wow, you make a good point 👍
Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 155d
Disturbing, I know. Don't tell my wife.

In all seriousness, you should watch out for a related chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. DHMO claims thousands of lives every year!
over_clox@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 155d
That's why I drink beer 🍻
jrs100000@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 155d
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.
early_riser@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 155d
another quintessential shower thought. I approve.
BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 154d
But the question is, is it hydrogen oxide or hydroxide?
over_clox@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 154d
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
BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 154d
So you can burn water!

And salt is just evil sugar.
over_clox@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 155d
These are the brilliant chucklefuck ideas that keep me coming back to the real internet, no AI slop here, you make a serious point 👍
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 155d
and sugar is just deficient garlic
Delta_V@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 154d
aka hydrogen ash
twjolson@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 155d
Well, at least you got the hydrogen part correct.
over_clox@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 155d
Its oxidized, so its corroded. AKA, in simple laymans terms, rusted.
twjolson@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 155d
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
Hydrogen, fully frozen, has been declared as a confusing metal..
I dunno 🤷
twjolson@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 155d
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.
