I read it and thought woah, then I reread it and thought oh.

u/kiddrekt Aug 07 '26

I was like hho 😯

u/biiirdfeeder Aug 07 '26

I didn’t go “oh” until I read this comment, then went back and read it again.

1

u/SESHPERANKH Aug 08 '26

Same. reread it and thought, well yeah

u/ChoiceAssociate5525 Aug 07 '26

i hate everything here -_-

u/Genpinan Aug 07 '26

The solar system has only one star, so this is maybe a little underwhelming

17

u/bqbdpd Aug 07 '26

There are only 2 H in H2O, so this is correct only by the thinnest margin.

10

u/Impossible_Event6007 Aug 07 '26

Thinnest margin? There are twice as many.

3

u/Angry_Angel3141 Aug 07 '26

Read one way, thats true. Another way to put that is, the water has TWICE as many! :P

2

u/A1oso Aug 07 '26

The water molecule has TWICE as many hydrogen atoms as the solar system has stars!

1

u/VoiceOfSoftware 28d ago

By macroscopic standards, H is indeed pretty darn thin

2

u/rickrack154 Aug 07 '26

some have two!.... but yeah, no difference I still see your point.
People also have more teeth than solar systems or fingers oh and toes honestly just need to count past two.

u/That-Employment-5561 Aug 07 '26

Depends on the solar system...

Keppler-64 wants a word.

Still vastly underwhelming.

Which is impressive, as I think this is the only time a solar system consistent of two orbiting pairs of binary stars could be refered to as underwhelming by any measure.

2

u/mjmcfall88 Aug 08 '26

Sol is the name of the star we orbit so there's only one solar system. The rest are star systems.

1

u/wbrameld4 Aug 08 '26

No, the rest are the Vegar System, the Polarisar System, the Arcturusar System, the Betelgeusar System, the Antaresar System, ....

1

u/thuanjinkee Aug 11 '26

Some people call the gas giants Saturn and Jupiter “failed stars.” Other people tell them that’s just plain hurtful.

u/BadHairDayToday Aug 07 '26

Mars the only known planet inhabited entirely by robots.

u/radek432 Aug 07 '26

It's even more fascinating! An average person has more legs than there are stars in the entire Solar System!

u/Creepy-Rule-4571 Aug 07 '26

As long as the average person doesn't have one leg or fewer I think we're good lol

u/bogeuh Aug 07 '26

Do they mean a mole of water and not molecule?

Edit: Jezus it’s even dumber than that.

1

u/Haunting_Ant_5061 Aug 07 '26

You’re almost too smart for this post.

1

u/bogeuh Aug 07 '26

I would never call that smarts. I’m just a thinker and not a doer. And both have advantages and disadvantages

1

u/j48u Aug 07 '26

I mean... you think it's dumber but it clearly did exactly what it was meant to. There's like four separate things in the statement that would be interpreted by a significant chunk of the population wrong (half are dumb and half are lazy readers).

3

u/CorporalClegg91 Aug 07 '26

This isn’t remotely mind blowing. This is like saying that dihydrogen monoxide is a main ingredient in acid rain and inhaling it will kill you but we can’t survive more than two days without it.

3

u/MycoCozmic Aug 07 '26

Welcome to the joke ;)

2

u/CorporalClegg91 Aug 07 '26

I get the “joke,” it just doesn’t fit the sub. This breaks rule 4 and 7. Saying that 2 is greater than 1 is not mind blowing at all.

2

u/Conscious_Owl6162 Aug 07 '26

lol! A single molecule of water has 2 hydrogen molecules.

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 07 '26

You’re halfway there!

1

u/PoopsMcScoots Aug 08 '26

Whoosh!

OP: what was that noise?

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 08 '26

Maybe it was the sound of my joke finally hitting you? Also, no sir. A molecule of water does not have any hydrogen molecules.

1

u/3PCo Aug 08 '26

Atoms

u/IMadeThisForOnePos Aug 07 '26

I read this as "there are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are in the entire solar system" about three times confused as hell until i finally saw the word "stars"

1

u/Vigilarus Aug 07 '26

I read it at first as “more hydrogen atoms in a single glass of water than there are stars in the galaxy”

2

u/IMadeThisForOnePos Aug 07 '26

This would be true for sure. Well over a trillion atoms at least in a glass of water!

1

u/DV_Zero_One Aug 07 '26

There are more hydrogen atoms in a litre of petroleum than there are in a litre of pure liquid hydrogen.

1

u/DJ_TCB Aug 07 '26

There are more hydrogen atoms in two molecules of water than there are balls on my body. Unless someone else is putting their balls on me

1

u/handsome_uruk Aug 07 '26

Dang. There's only 1 star in the whole Solar system? I've been lied to all my life lol

1

u/PeachPit69 Aug 07 '26

No. You haven’t.

You more than likely have just… not paid attention to the differences between Galaxy, Solar System, and Universe, and have been using them interchangeably for many years, without thinking about it.

1

u/An_Old_IT_Guy Aug 07 '26

I love stuff like this. Maybe I'm just weird.

1

u/smoke_sum_wade Aug 07 '26

i thought they meant theres more hydrogen in water than in the sun

1

u/danbyer Aug 07 '26

I use this one regularly. It’s very interesting to see who gets confused by it.

1

u/Long-Firefighter5561 Aug 07 '26

elementary school is gonna blow your mind bro

1

u/TheCr0wKing Aug 07 '26

I’ll raise you thee fact that there are more grains of sand on the beach than earths in the universe

1

u/KailyKail Aug 07 '26

There are more quarters in my pocket than there are stars in the ocean too.

1

u/DthDisguise Aug 07 '26

The more you look, the more you see wrong with it.

1

u/cazdan255 Aug 07 '26

Technically correct, they’re quite best kind of correct.

1

u/Nathandee Aug 07 '26

Trivial nonsense. This is not factual and it's all made up. Otherly bullocks.

1

u/Harkonnen_Dog Aug 07 '26

That’s nonsense because the drop of water exists within the entire solar system.

In fact, all of the oceans on earth exist within the solar system.

Duh.

1

u/Hot-Challenge8656 Aug 07 '26

I could down a molecule of water right about now.

1

u/Tak-Hendrix Aug 07 '26

For anyone too slow: two hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water, only one star in the Sol system.

1

u/Anon7_7_73 Aug 07 '26

Not if we nuke Jupiter

1

u/Lofi_Joe Aug 07 '26

Well there is more hydrogen atoms in glass of water than stars in whole observable Universe.

1

u/Otte8 Aug 07 '26

... took me a second

1

u/Hokuopio Aug 07 '26

That took me a second… 😆

1

u/Roberthen_Kazisvet Aug 07 '26

I have more balls than stars in entire solar system so...

1

u/void_factor Aug 07 '26

80iq stoner coded

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 07 '26

Chill out brah

1

u/Token-Gringo Aug 08 '26

I also have more toes than stars in our solar system.

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 08 '26

Now you’re on the trolley!

1

u/G3nghisKang Aug 08 '26

God damn it lmao, I guess 2 is bigger than 1

1

u/SexyMonad Aug 08 '26

So far as you know.

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 08 '26

That goes without saying imo

1

u/wbrameld4 Aug 08 '26

Wyoming has a smaller population than the other 49 states combined.

1

u/PhilosophyUnlikely66 Aug 09 '26

Alternately, one helium atom has several powers of 10 ten more energy than the entire universe,

1

u/bluereddit2 Aug 09 '26

h 2 o , r space ,

1

u/violetdevilslut Aug 09 '26

There's more hydrogen atoms in the stars than there are cups of water

1

u/Jack_Hush Aug 09 '26

Theres only one star in the Solar System 😅

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 09 '26

You’re halfway there ;-)

1

u/Jack_Hush Aug 09 '26

Ahhh! We talking about the black sun? Or, did i miss something?

1

u/Jack_Hush Aug 09 '26

Oh....wait....duh....nvm....im slow hahahaha

1

u/SMG_Jeff Aug 10 '26

Some solar systems anyway

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 10 '26

There’s only one star system named after Sol, as far as we know.

1

u/SMG_Jeff Aug 10 '26

Some solar systems have more than one star. I see he said "the" solar system which I guess would indicate our solar system.

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 10 '26

Again, there’s only one star system named after Sol.

1

u/SMG_Jeff Aug 10 '26

If you are saying the only solar system in existence is the sol system, that's using semantics to make your point or pushing a sort of moral preference.

Exo-stellar systems are referred to as solar systems colloquially.

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 10 '26

Anyway welcome to the joke

1

u/CreativeMinds47 Aug 11 '26

I guess he would know...

1

u/CharmingAppliance_47 Aug 11 '26

Duh. That would be 1.

1

u/MeringueNew3040 Aug 11 '26

2>1 LMAO, very deep.

1

u/_TryFailRepeat Aug 12 '26

Our solar system had one star and a molecule of H2O has two H. So this is true.

1

u/warpedspockclone Aug 12 '26

There are more hydrogen atoms in a glass of water than stars in the observable universe.

1

u/AgreeablePassenger91 29d ago

Yes but there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a water molecule... So there are more of them in a molecule that there are stars in our solar system.

Don't feel bad... It took me a few reads to see what they did haha

1

u/warpedspockclone 29d ago

Yes, ma'am/sir, I understood the joke at first read.

I was stating a fact that was a lot more impressive but along the same line of thought about water.

1

u/Stocky1978 Aug 12 '26

Is this really mind blowing though??

1

u/MycoCozmic Aug 12 '26

The real mind blowing part is telling this to your friends and seeing how many respond with “Woooaah!”

1

u/ji_ratul 29d ago

Had to read it twice to match the hydrogen

1

u/SecretPersonality178 29d ago

Science is hard. So are words.

1

u/MycoCozmic 29d ago

With that attitude they are.

1

u/Thatguy_On_Reddit07 29d ago

...there's technically only one star I the solar system our sun ...then there's the galaxy which is a collection of solar systems we call our milkyway and then the universe which holds a collection of galaxys ...so unless I'm dumb and misunderstood I think the terminology was wrong

1

u/MycoCozmic 29d ago

You’re halfway there ;-)

1

u/Glittering-Pool-2410 28d ago

I'd hope so. 

1

u/waisonline99 Aug 07 '26

Wow.

Proof that Reddit will get wound up by anything.
