That’s actually just the first part of the phrase. The whole thing is “je ne suis pas français, chappeau”
victorz@lemmy.world 3 days ago

Seems to me like it was the last part of the phrase.

je ne suis pas français, chappeau
I tried googling this to see if I was missing some reference or something and it led to strange google behavior I’ve never seen before… When I search “je ne suis pas français, chappeau” without the quotation marks, Google automatically changes the French to English in the search bar when I hit the search button.
Anyone else experienced this? For what possible fucking purpose would that exist?
mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
Huh, this is an interesting intercultural communiaction trap.
In my area, this is just used as a shorthand/slang/idiom for “nice, i respect that” or in place of a nod or “thank you”

Celebrities contain more than one hydrogen, true.

- Number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water (H2O): 2

There actually are more molocules of H2O in 10 drops of water than there are stars in the observable universe.

“Observable universe” isn’t how much we can see, rather how much it is theoretically possible to observe by any physical means.

NaevaTheRat@vegantheoryclub.org 3 days ago
Also interesting: If you were to take your nerves out and lay them end on end you would die.
Actually interesting fact
Your height is closer to a light second than the size of an atom. And yet atoms seem more approachable in scale than light seconds. Fascinating stuff!
ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 days ago
How do you define “closer” here? I’m about 1.8m removed from the size of an atom but well over 299 thousand kilometers from a light second.
anindefinitearticle@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
You’re comparing them linearly, a comparison for which the statement is false.
The statement is true multiplicatively/logarithmically/unitarily.
Atomic radius is ~ 1e-10m
Light second is ~3e8m
As a ratio, your height can be measured as 1.8e10 atomic radii, and a light second can be measured using only 1.7e8 humans who are 1.8m tall.
Does that help?

Remimds me of the time someone on Xitter said that there are more trees on Earth than there are stars in our Galaxy. They got ratio’d pretty damn hard for it. -_-
pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 days ago
Going by the top Duck duck go results for “how many stars in our galaxy” and “how many trees in the world”:
“According to Jos de Bruijne, a scientist at the European Space Agency (ESA), the current estimate is between 100 to 400 billion stars.”
and
“There are an estimated 3.04 trillion trees in the world.”Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 3 days ago
That’s why it’s so crazy it was that that person was shat on so hard.
Not finding the actual Tweet yet, but here’s a video covering it:
Pandantic@midwest.social 3 days ago
Yeah, if you think of it, stars are relatively rare in a galaxy when compared to living beings which are born to procreate. But once you go out to universe, it becomes true.

There might even be more hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water, than there are universes we live in!

So do we not count the mini suns being created at places like Livermore Labs? 🤔
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
We can’t make plasma dense enough to have significant convention over radiance, and the longest active run is only a minute or so. We’re a good way away from plasma stable enough to be called a star, although it’s getting closer. Hydrogen bombs are probably the closest we have so far.

qarbone@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I very slowly zoomed in on the actual words in the post.
Started off processing “molecule” as “mole”, “solar system” as “galaxy”, and thinking “ha, don’t know if that’s true but it sounds both plausible and neat”.
TootSweet@lemmy.world 3 days ago
There are definitely more hydrogen atoms in a mole of water than stars in the Milky Way.
The Milky Way has somewhere between 100 and 400 billion stars according to Wikipedia (110^11 to 410^11). A mole of water has 6.02210^23 molecules in it, each of which has two hydrogen atoms in it for a total of 1.204410^24 hydrogen atoms.
10^24 / 10^11 = 10^13 which is ten trillion. So, a mole of water has roughly ten trillion times as many hydrogen atoms as the Milky Way has stars.
shalafi@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Wasn’t thinking moles, not that technical, but it sounded plausible vs. the number of stars in the Milky Way.
Wait…
selokichtli@lemmy.ml 3 days ago
The glass of water is a bit misleading. Your brain starts thinking about all the water molecules inside. That’s all.
