Fun fact: There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system.

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 days ago

I bet it's double the amount!

[-] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

you must not be a radio star

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

So there's at least 2 hydrogen atoms in that water?

We're narrowing things down.

Shout out to the mole people in our precious sewers.

Well, that's just wrong. I can name at least 10 stars in the solar system.

[-] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 132 points 2 days ago

All these fools trying to add hydrogen to water when they should be focusing on dechlorinating table salt.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 days ago

Take my upvote, you scoundrel.

Bro, BRO! Check this out, get extra OXYGEN in H₂O₂!!1!

DOUBLE the oxygen!

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Even more oxigen and mineralization H~2~SO~4~

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 15 points 2 days ago

Johnny was a real good kid,
But now he is no more.
What he thought was H~2~O
Was H~2~SO~4~.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

The burning means it's working, right?

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

Drink that shit like it's rocket fuel.

H3O water refers to hydronium ions, which make water more acidic. However, stable H3O water in bottled form doesn’t naturally exist—water always rebalances to H₂O. Pure H3O isn't drinkable it's too acid, It's ionized water, without any specific features. It's a publicity trick to sell it more expensive, like also this one, low in calories.

[-] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 11 points 2 days ago

That's why I sell exclusive Deprotonated Hydronium™. It costs even more but it's worth it, and still zero calories. It's the best way to enjoy tasty ions, for a more balanced lifestyle.

Oh boy, I remember that! A blast from 2000!

Look at that publisher. I wonder what those guys are up to nowadays

What are you laughing at?

Reminds me when I saw "Gluten free" on plain raw bacon packages.

[-] Photuris@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It sounds ridiculous, but you’d be surprised how often wheat makes its way into vague ingredients such as “spices” (or less vague but seemingly benign ones like tamari, for example, or malt, or yeast), often unlabeled as containing wheat, barley, or rye.

If you have Celiac disease, you figure this stuff out over time. I’m glad to see bacon labeled as “gluten free” - it means I can trust it. Packaged bacon might have a seasoning or glaze applied to it. It’s so easy to get burned by stupid labeling (e.g., “ingredients: pork, salt, spices”).

If a terrifyingly minuscule amount of something could give you violent shits and debilitating migraines (an amount the size of a grain of sand will do it), you’d be cautious and suspicious of labelling as well.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 9 points 2 days ago

At that point idk how you could actually eat anything from a grocery store since everything there is likely processed in a facility that handles wheat. In fact, i would say meat products and farm to table produce are probably the only items at a grocery store that haven't come into contact with some sort of allergen.

I assume they mean H2. Y'all laugh but H2 and H2O are different things. You can have both.

[-] Cattail@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

H2 can be dissolved in water. Now idk if or why you want that... Seems like the water would be sour

Ladies and gentlemen, they’ve done it.

[-] ftbd@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago

MFers went ahead and invented acids

[-] Ooops@feddit.org 29 points 2 days ago
[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

As long as they don’t call it “organic”, that would kill my overly literal chemistry-nerd brain.

I have to assume it's just made sparkling with hydrogen instead of carbon dioxide. Heard about beer being hydrogenated in Japan several years ago and it had the side effect/party trick of being able to ignite your burps so you could belch fireballs.

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 days ago

Dissolved hydrogen is effectively acidifying it, no? That would be chugging fizzing acid. Must've been fun.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You get carbonic acid when carbonating water and some people like that taste, for some reason 🤷‍♂️

It's crazy tho how I was thinking similarly after posting the previous comment. If cabonated water gets the bitterness from carbonic acid, what would hydrogenated or nitrogenated water taste like? I've had Guiness and Pepsi Nitro. Both are made bubbly with nitrogen. And while the beer is good, the Pepsi just tasted like normal Pepsi, but like you had left it unsealed overnight.

Never had anything that was artificially hydrogenated, though. 🤔

Are you not drinking H3O?

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Still better than oxygen-infused water

This is the kind of bullshit they come up with when you don't allow them to put the good stuff in it.

Radium, that was the real thing, not this shit.

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago
[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Don't you know that 100% of all people who drink water die?
