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

      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.

        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.

          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.

              Imagine living in a world wherein all food products might have at least a little bit of rat poison in it.

              Right. Imagine. Wild.

              Edit: I joke. American food safety standards are better than that. Not impressively better. But technically better.

    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.

          Best we can do is the original formula Coca-cola with red wine, cocaine, and caffeine.

          It’s the pause that refreshes.

          Story time! Courtesy of my 7th–grade Biotech teacher:

          Many years ago, he was working in a bio lab where they were studying the effects of drugs on the brain. Specifically, they were trying to isolate the specific paths and locations in the brain that these drugs would build up in the highest concentrations. That year, they were studying cocaine.

          Of course, you couldn’t be experimenting with cocaine on humans, because that would lead to everybody having too good a time, I guess, and the federal government wouldn’t stand for it. As such, they were injecting cocaine into rats. Now, giving these little guys the time of their lives was still not the purpose of the research, so they needed a way to easily find out where the cocaine was going in the rats’ brains. As such, they tagged the cocaine. In order to ensure the tagging didn’t affect the binding and distribution in the body, however, they had to tag it, not with a dye, but by making it radioactive, at which point they could use whatever Magical Machine™ to take a 3D scan of their heads and find the radiation (though It’s possible he was simply leaving out the bit where they dissected the rat brains to find where they were radioactive, which I now think far more likely)

          Unfortunately, aside from getting these rats literally blitzed out of their minds on a one-way-trip to the land of cheese and honey, no super-rats were created by what otherwise sounds like a plot straight out of an offbeat MCU movie.

          No, the practical upshot of this was that it was some poor sod’s job to actually mix radioactive cocaine into solution for injection. Since they needed to do it a LOT, they needed a lot of solution. So, in their infinite wisdom, they had the following setup:

          1. a refrigerator, where they kept the saline and radioactive cocaine (and whatever else they were using to make the solution)
          2. immediately to the right of the fridge, a fume hood, where they would actually do the mixing.
          3. atop the fridge, two unlabelled beakers: in one, the saline, ready for mixing; in the other, the radioactive cocaine solution, prepared and ready for injection.

          This was the point at which an entire crate of lab rats was toppled, releasing all of them onto the floor…

          Of course, the entire lab is suddenly in chaos. One person is trying to use a net they had prepared for such an occasion to catch the rats that are running around the desk area, while two more are trying to tag-team a rat that ran behind a bookshelf. My teacher, though, is chasing a rat. A rat that is running straight for the cozy space under the fridge. With all the alacrity of a wastrel postgraduate who has never heard the term “dexterity” outside the context of tabletop games, he runs headlong into the fridge, and suddenly feels a splash on his head and hears the shattering of glass on the floor below.

          While it didn’t take too long for them to pull out the Geiger counter and determine that he was not going to get a supervillain backstory (with the high of his life and cancer on the side), you can bet they labeled those beakers after that, and kept them in the fume hood.

          And that, dear friends, is how we learned about Lab Safety in my school!

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

          probably not!

          Yet that does not imply that any politician could be linked to any type of crime, of course… even convicted criminals and drug dealers are most likely innocent… don’t look for me…

          But be carefull with water!

    Why on earth drinking hydrogen-infused water increase athletic performance? I honestly doubt any claims made by this shit product.

    Edit: I am no chemistry expert, but wouldn’t most hydrogen just collect above the water surface and as soon the can is opened, it escapes. I don’t know if it happens or not, if I am wrong please correct me.
