Is H2O4U chemically possibly? I feel like you could make a chain out of the oxygens and put hydrogen at both ends but I don't hear anything more that O3
Hm... I'm guessing that adding Uranium to that would make it quickly oxidize, and instead of H2O4U, you'd get mostly U3O8 (the most stable Uranium oxide) and a bunch of H2O and Hydrogen gas.
I wonder if there's any Uranium-containing compoud that would be safe(ish) to drink... (In small amounts, of course.)
It would have to be something that holds onto the Uranium atoms very tightly and also passes right through you without getting absorbed. Hmm... But the radiation aspect is always going to be a problem. No matter what other atoms it's bonded to, Uranium will still be emitting a bit of alpha radiation -- no big deal when it's outside you since the outer layers of skin block most of it, but when it's inside you, there's nothing to block that radiation from damaging the cells of your digestive tract.

Little Johnny took a drink but now will drink no more
For what he thought was H2O was H2SO4

Neat, I've never seen that version before. The one I know is:

Fun fact: unlike some other site that shall not be named, Lemmy's markdown can do subscripts!
plateee@piefed.social · 23 pts · 48d
Really? It's the squiggly to make subscript? I thought that was used for strike through?
charonn0@startrek.website · 22 pts · 48d
Two squiggles for
strikethrough; one squiggle forsubscript; and no squiggle for you!grue@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 48d

where's the reference for these?
grue@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 47d
I don't think it's complete, though; some you just have to discover for yourself (or guess from familiarity with Markdown on other platforms).

Strong acids are weak, you'd notice the boiling acid flavor and spit it out with the rest of your mouth lining right away.

Doubt you'd die from drinking a bit of sulphuric acid, probably would spit it out as soon as you notice your tongue is burning anyway.

you could still get badly hurt if you swallow faster than you can spit it out

Johnny was a corporate stooge,
but Johnny's words untrue;
what Johnny sold as H2O
was H2O4U.

Johnny knew not water
For he forgot vater
My father is he who speaks through me
And thus I express simply
That ain't water I just drank
It's getting dark, I'm gunna have one last wank

Not as written. But uranyl peroxide is a thing.
There’s UO
4·4(H2O) studtite and UO4·2(H2O) metastudtitehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranyl_peroxide

This is what i missed about old reddit the most.
Love it 😘

yeah lots of minerals can contain water. it's known as water of crystallization

I don't want to be guy who needs to read the NMR spectra of this stuff.

Is H2O4U actually possible to synthesize? Is it stable?
Would it be a liquid at any reasonable temperatures?
Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 26 pts · 48d
Tetraoxidane (H2O4) is very unstable by itself, and I doubt adding a uranium into the mix would stabilize it

And a lot of heat. If I had to guess, I'd bet on that being a... "rather energetic" exothermic reaction.

What is heat but shaken atoms?
fartographer@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 48d
Surely if you shook the bottle well, the ingredients would recombine like a vinaigrette, and the intended flavor could be appreciated.

Wouldn't that be uranic dihydrogen peroxide?
I'm pretty sure dioxide peroxide is not a thing.

Listen here, you piece of shit, the original image is h2o4u which reads as water for you. Stop inventing words
