I learned a rhyme once that's relevant:

Danny was a scientist, but now he is no more, for what he thought was H2O, was H2SO4

Suprisingly mild and not very reactive. And I wondered if this even exists.

Uranium - it makes things safer!

Thanks. I was wondering if it was a liquid or not. Crystaline solid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ok, but definitely don't drink it if it's liquid then.

Reminds me on this chemist joke:

A man brought his chemist friend to the bar for a drink with the other friends. When asked what he wanted, the chemist decided that since she's the designated driver, she'll order water. "I'll have some H20, please!" the chemist said, with the man replying "I'll have some H20 too!"

The man died of ingesting hydrogen peroxide.

And the joke's alternative anti joke punchline:

The bartender served them both water, because he fully understands everyday human interaction and translated the request as intended.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, for as much as you use the chemical formula for water in your everyday human interactions, anyway

The bartender didn't mind, since he has a sense of humor and understood he worked in an entertainment facility where people derive fun from saying and doing goofy things with friends and acquaintances, and this isn't even be the weirdest thing he has heard a patron say this week.
