Second time i see this, still funny :)
It's true
Mmm... Yeah!
Made me think for a second.
Is the joke that there is only one star in our solar system? The sun?
yes, ... and only 2 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water (H2O)
I was sure of the 2 H atoms but wasn't sure if the sun was the only star. Thanks for the clarification.
This joke doesn’t work on tatooine
I don’t trust the liberal science agenda so I did my own research. Using some back-of-the-napkin math and my telescope, I’m now blind from looking at the sun through a telescope. This is being transcribed by my trad wife. My results:
2 > 1
This one checks out, folks.
What, you don't believe in the Nemesis hypothesis?
Because that would bring it up to... hang on, let me get my calculator...
Two stars in the solar system.
Fascinating proposal, professor. Thankfully I can adjust my equations quite easily:
2 ≥ 2
Curses, foiled again!
There is not a single thing about this comment chain that doesn't bring me joy.
Thank you for your service.
You must be a terrorist because that's MUSLIM MATH! Those are not Christian numbers and feel it necessary to report this comment to the FBI, the Federal Biblical Investigators.

I just saw that series recently. What a wonderful show.
It really is a wonderful show. I watched it again recently because it's that time of year, so this was on my mind. 😁
I had never seen it before, but I watched it all in one evening while my wife and daughter were out and then I watched it all again with them the next day because I knew they had to see it too, and it was just as good a day later.
That's so nice to hear. Hopefully it becomes a yearly tradition to watch it.
We introduced it to our daughter this year. She was a little scared but enjoyed it nonetheless. I caught myself wishing there were more shows like it, but it's so unique and that's probably why I love it so much.
I love this because even though I read the words, I interpreted it to mean something else for a second. (atoms and galaxy) Be careful when you read things and don't assume you know something.
Jupiter and Saturn are brown dwarves, and fit many definitions of "star".
They are both large enough to have developed a hydrogen plasma core furnace that dissolves the rock and ice that was once their core. They are more than just a hydrogen atmosphere, down to the core they're a big ball of plasma undergoing all of the same physics as stellar tissue, except the pressure at the center isn't enough to ignite fusion.
Uranus and Neptune, meanwhile, are likely too small for this, and maintain a fluid ice layer and rocky core beneath their hydrogen envelopes. There is not enough hydrogen for it to take over these worlds. Therefore, they are planets, not brown dwarf stars.
Jupiter and Saturn, however, have grown large enough for the hydrogen to have turned to plasma and dissolved and supplanted their cores with a plasma furnace.
The solar system has three stars. We are not too early to explore other star systems. We know of many planets around Jupiter and Saturn. The extraterrestrial planet with most earth-like atmosphere and surface geology that we know of is Titan, and it's in our neighboring (sub) star system. Huygens and Juice and Europa Clipper and Dragonfly are humanity's first missions to planets around other stars.
Jupiter and Saturn are not brown dwarves.

Here they are on Wikipedia's list of Y-class brown dwarves.
Jupiter and Saturn are in fact brown dwarves.
Stellar classes are OBAFGKMLTY, from most to least massive.
You got me. Had to whatever the thought equivalent of double take is.
Doubleponder.
If i had fallen for it, i would have had a quarter ponder :)
Had yourself a thinkythink
As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years..

I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”
Always tomorrow.
Wut?
I have no idea how I ended up here. Swear to god I was on the post about the trolley, saving people, and small talk. No shit. Never even seen this post.
As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly. We've all been there.
This happened to me once too. The Lemmy gods brought you here. You are now a part of the meme
And now I’ve posted it in the correct location.
No this post was the correct location. Don’t second guess yourself. You were always meant to be here!
This is one of the most fascinating comments I've ever encountered on Lemmy
And this prove what exactly...??
that stars don't have hydrogen atoms
