    But the question is, is it hydrogen oxide or hydroxide?

      Sounds like you’re describing hydrogen peroxide, as pairs of individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms don’t exactly like to exist alone, so they pair up as H2O2

              Guess again. Think nitrogen bonds in exothermic redox reactions.

    Since hydrogen is a gas in its natural state, isn’t it technically “chilled, rusted hydrogen” because it is a liquid which has less energy than gas?

      Well that’s just your room temperature and pressure bias talking. All states are natural states, subject to environmental conditions.

      Its oxidized, so its corroded. AKA, in simple laymans terms, rusted.

        Rust is commonly referred to oxidation on iron, uncommonly to oxidation on other metals. Never to non-metals.

            Except you aren’t talking “frozen” hydrogen. You’re talking “molten” hydrogen.

            Even by your made up definitions, you’re wrong.

              I think hydrogen is arguably a metal but its 2/3 for not a metal depending on which definition you use.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
