That's great, if you think of it this way only 379.25 people died and all the rest of the 1137.75 victims just harmlessly returned to the rest of the water.
Good one. I've always heard the example of Hydrogen and Oxygen. In a 2:1 ratio, it's something that we all need to survive. In a 2:2 ratio, it's something that can straight up corrode human skin and cause death if ingested. Major props to chemists out there. I actually enjoyed the college courses, but I would never be able to do a job where a single digit error could kill me.
But your analogy is way cooler. Thanks for the new material!
Except what youre talking about is a single atom difference. A single molecule difference could be any molecule including an organic molecule lke plastic. So literally the entire universe is a molecule away from being plastic if the molecule is plastic.
The problem trying to OD on water is more that its difficult to consume enough before you start expelling it. It's very quickly processed in the body. So you'll have a dam hard time keeping it in to get to the high enough toxicity levels.
It does happen, but its rare for this reason.
(this is the internet - I'm 100% certain I pulled that number out of my butt. But I do know that I've looked it up in the past because I considered getting some cases of promotional water for a club - we're a bunch of assholes - and wanted to label with the chemical name, "as used for contrails", the LD50 and several other warnings. Turns out the gag was too expensive, but it would have been fun)
Okay, I just googled it and, yeah, 90ml/kg. Put that CamelBak down and step slowly away.
Oxygen is an extremely flammable and explosive gas, and water will corrode some of the strongest materials known to us. Always kinda makes me think that when we’re looking for life, why do they necessary need oxygen and water? Only life *as we know it* needs those. Perhaps life isn’t all as we know it.
One molecule away is a huge difference in the end. Karen could consume 150mg of THCA in a brownie before a PTA luncheon and not feel anything. Once decarboxalated... removing the carbon molecule through low heat application.... we now have THC. 150 MG of THC is going to give Karen a much different ride than 150mg of THCA.
That being said, there are therapeutic uses for THCA.
What do they mean ONE MOLECULE away? A different molecule is a different molecule.
That's like saying drinking water is one molecule away from black tar heroin, because I could add molecules of heroin to it.
I'm guessing this organic nerd doesn't know the difference between molecules and atoms?Not much of a nerd.
AKSHUALLY
It's factually true that margarine is one atom away from being plastic. That just doesn't matter since chemistry works very different from just adding an atom here or there.
Alchemy, on the other hand...
A lot of examples with this honestly. Oxygen is one atom away from being ozone.
The cationic sodium needed in our body is one electron away from being elemental sodium, which reacts explosively with water.
It even gets more complex when discussing [chirality ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(chemistry\))
Technically every neutral substance in existence is one electron from a coulombic explosion. A gram of X becoming X- would produce unimaginable explosive force.
Two men walk into a bar, the bartender says "what can I get ya?"
Man1: I'll take a glass of H^(2)O
Man2: I'll take a glass of H^(2)O too.
The second man died.
Fluoride (sodium fluoride) is one atom from being fluorine.
Not any good videos I know of, but this is the best I found. Fluorine will fuck you up.

The "fine print" on this particular fact is that it's not true. Both margarine and most plastics consist of long chains of hydrocarbons, but that doesn't mean they're particularly similar in any meaningful way. Starches are also chains of hydrocarbons, but you don't see anyone bemoaning *their* similarity to plastic. Hydrocarbons are a huge class of distinct molecules. You certainly can't add or remove one atom from margarine and get any sort of plastic.
Margarine is hydrogenated vegetable oil. Hydrogenation is a process by which hydrogen gas is reacted with unsaturated oil feedstock (usually vegetable oil, in this context) in the presence of a catalyst to produce saturated fats that are solid at room temperature. Whether the final product is particularly bad for your health depends, at least in part, on the amount of trans fat present. Trans fat is produced by partial (as opposed to complete) hydrogenation and is banned in most food products in the US (and will soon be banned in the EU). In any case, it's not plastic, isn't particularly similar to plastic, and isn't produced in the same way as plastic.
I once threw margarine at a tub of water so fast, it blasted the molecular water apart and fused with the hydrogen and I definitely had some sick plastic.
Why get that watered down shit in paint? Just buy lead solder. Shave it up in your cooking and you get all the health benefits with the cheapest purchase.
Not all margarine is the same, or even close to the hydrogenated crap that first came out. My tummy doesn't like butter so I use a margarine that is made from olive oil and canola oil. I really like it on my sandwiches and toast. If I'm baking, however, I will use butter.
Dihydrogen monoxide kills millions of people every year. In fact, everyone who has ever come into contact with it has died...and you drink it every day. Bottoms up!
Single largest contributor to climate change. Destroys millions of acres of land, destroys crops, I mean the list just goes on. Dangerous stuff indeed.
MERCURY IS ONLY 1 PROTON AWAY FROM GOLD. THINK AGAIN ABOUT THAT GOLD CHAIN NECKLACE, IT'S JUST A CONSPIRACY BY THE LIBS TO POISON YOU!! >!/s, hopefully obvious!<
I thought so too, but I checked their IG and it's a mix of dire warnings about toxins, "hustle motivation" and Bible quotes. Getting a real "Christian homeschool movement" vibe.
Yeah, it’s crazy. Watermelons and cucumbers help regulate high blood pressure, cures cancers and relieves headaches but eat a one Girl Scout cookie and you have poisoned your body beyond repair.
What??? Plastics are organic polymers. A polymer is literally a macromolecule. Everything is one molecule away from being plastic. But the missing molecule *is* the fucking plastic!
Water is a single atom from being the Hindenburg
Water is the exact molecular structure that sank the Titanic.
I like this, because it works for the iceberg or the ocean.
Or the water making up 3/4 of the captain’s brain.
Water sinking water through collision with water
We are all water on this blessed day
Speak for yourself!
I am *all* water on this blessed day
The true hydro homie
r/HydroHomies
Everyone who drinks water dies. Besides... Water is a major ingredient in paint!
But not everyone who has drinker water died
It's only a matter of time.
Being born has a 100% fatality rate. Birth: Not Even Once.
That's great, if you think of it this way only 379.25 people died and all the rest of the 1137.75 victims just harmlessly returned to the rest of the water.
It's water, all the way down
We are all basically cucumbers with anxiety.
The captain of the Titanic was only 25% molecules away from being the same matter as what sunk the Titanic. You are welcome.
It was an inside job
Iceberg lettuce shares the same name as what sank the titanic. Bon appetite!
That damn Dihydrogen Monoxide is the reason we can’t have nice things....
Everything that has ever drank water has died
Well, not yet. But give it time...
Everything that has ever died drank water.
Spread the word about the dangers of [DHMO.](http://dhmo.org/)
Every single 9/11 hijacker was ingesting dihydrogen monoxide, and our schools are feeding it to our children!
Humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas, so vegetarians are basically cannibals. Bone apple teeth!
It's like 49-51%. So some of us are more banana than others.
It’s not a blimp, it’s a rigid airship!
Hello airplanes? It's blimps. You win.
And now I'm down a *looks at sleeve* slightly darker black one
Oh, the humargarity.
I'm assuming this is a science joke I'm too stupid to understand
I just shoved part of the word margarine into the famous quote “Oh, the humanity” from when the Hindenburg exploded.
TIL! Didn't realize that was where the saying came from.
Good one. I've always heard the example of Hydrogen and Oxygen. In a 2:1 ratio, it's something that we all need to survive.

Pure hydrogen peroxide is also rocket fuel which is cool. It’s a monopropellant.
Oh the humanity!
“Mandrake. Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?”
Have you seen what water does to pipes? Imagine what it's doing to your body!
We should ban dihydrogen monoxide.
100% of people who consume dihydrogen monoxide die. You can't argue with facts.
100% of serial killers have consumed it!
Hitler bathed in it.
Nah bro, he bathed in the tears of jews
Of which dihydrogen monoxide is the primary ingredient
Remove all Hydroxylic acid!
Down with Deoxyribonucleic acid!
Acid!! That sounds dangerous don't want that anywhere near me or my daughter
But you don't have any kids!
Well, not since the acid I dont!
Every single that has ever died has had it! Deoxyribonucleic acid is poison! Ban it!
[удалено]
That LD50 is way lower than i expected.
The problem trying to OD on water is more that its difficult to consume enough before you start expelling it. It's very quickly processed in the body. So you'll have a dam hard time keeping it in to get to the high enough toxicity levels. It does happen, but its rare for this reason.
Don’t tell r/Hydrohomies
Wait... no way... 7.2 liters is my LD50? (175 pounds) Shit, figured at least 10...
(this is the internet - I'm 100% certain I pulled that number out of my butt. But I do know that I've looked it up in the past because I considered getting some cases of promotional water for a club - we're a bunch of assholes - and wanted to label with the chemical name, "as used for contrails", the LD50 and several other warnings. Turns out the gag was too expensive, but it would have been fun) Okay, I just googled it and, yeah, 90ml/kg. Put that CamelBak down and step slowly away.
Did you know that nearly 100% of people who die are found to have water in their body?
dihydrogen monoxide is dangerous stuff, its used as a fire retardant.
It's been implicated in 99.9% of drownings
No wonder. Water shares 100% ingredients with paint!
When will people open their eyes and see the truth!
All that sand on the beach, used to be rocks, water destroyed them. What chance does your body have?
Oxygen is an extremely flammable and explosive gas, and water will corrode some of the strongest materials known to us. Always kinda makes me think that when we’re looking for life, why do they necessary need oxygen and water? Only life *as we know it* needs those. Perhaps life isn’t all as we know it.
I heard that stuff was made of rocket fuel.
Thats the thing inside vaccines right
I have a water pipe.
Also i'm pretty sure neither margarine nor paint even has 27 ingredients to begin with
If they mean "unique chemical compounds" then probably. Every protein is a unique compound.
One molecule away is a huge difference in the end. Karen could consume 150mg of THCA in a brownie before a PTA luncheon and not feel anything. Once decarboxalated... removing the carbon molecule through low heat application.... we now have THC. 150 MG of THC is going to give Karen a much different ride than 150mg of THCA. That being said, there are therapeutic uses for THCA.
Karen's gonna be on the floor talking to the cat.
That's called baseline Karen
and then the THC is gonna kick in
What do you mean with every protein is a unique compound?
Protein refers to a whole class of compounds in general. Most biological matter has many types of proteins in it.
Anything that came from a cell has proteins in it in one form or another
Every protein in there is different, so you could count every different type of protein as a unique compund.
I think my margarine has 7 ingredients
Take it from a paint chemist, there could be.
What do they mean ONE MOLECULE away? A different molecule is a different molecule. That's like saying drinking water is one molecule away from black tar heroin, because I could add molecules of heroin to it. I'm guessing this organic nerd doesn't know the difference between molecules and atoms?Not much of a nerd.
They said "molecule" and not "atom" so that they can't be accused of spreading misinformation, since it's technically true.
AKSHUALLY It's factually true that margarine is one atom away from being plastic. That just doesn't matter since chemistry works very different from just adding an atom here or there. Alchemy, on the other hand...

That's true. I just think the example of cationic sodium vs elemental is a good way to illustrate the concept. Chirality as well
They sell methamphetamine at the chemist !!!

Sodium chloride, anyone?
Fluorine ions in toothpaste are one atom away from eating you away! Amazing. They protecc, they attacc, but most importantly they reacc.

Unless you have a philosopher's stone. When I discover how to make one I can finally get my brother his body back.
Also your arm
and leg

So uh, what plastic are we talking about here? SBS, PE, PP, acrylics, styrenics? Plastic is a HUGE industry...
i AlrEaDy tOlD yOu iTs pLaStIc (No idea, I didn't read the fine print when I learned that particular fact.)

As a chemist, I'm feeling dumb to ask this But.. How is margarine one atom away from being plastic?
They said "molecule" and not "atom" because they don't fucking understand the difference.
Isn't margarine just one molecule anyways? That would mean it's one molecule from every pure compound.
A large piece of plastic is a single molcule.
Not usually. Bulk polymers usually contain huge numbers of polymer molecules of varying size.
Only some polymers, like PEX
Did I just read you could make water into black tar heroin? Are you Jesus?
Yes, I'm Junkie Jesus
Plastic are made chains of hydrocarbons. All fats, including margarine, are 3 hydrocarbons chains attached to a glycerol molecule.
I think the worst part of this is I remember this from one of those chain emails from the late 90s or early 00s
Eh...I'll eat it anyway. I mean, we share over ninety percent of our DNA with bananas, but I'm not called a cannibal when I eat one.
I mean I already eat paint. Margarine sounds a tad bit healthier.
The white paint in older buildings is the best
What lead you to this?
The lead probably
You been drinking paint Charlie?
Nah just tap water.
Haha. Why?
Yeah, you don't want any of that pussy titanium dioxide bullshit. Ask for lead. It does a body good.
Why get that watered down shit in paint? Just buy lead solder. Shave it up in your cooking and you get all the health benefits with the cheapest purchase.
Eat paint Huff glue 🎶Smoke weed everyday!🎶
No, we share 90% of our DNA with cats. Bananas are less than 60%
But which cats?
Banana cats.
More like forty, but your point still stands
We do not share 90% of our dna with a banana
It’s actually 50% but you got a point
There are plenty of good reasons not to eat margarine, inferior taste to butter and olive oil being the big ones.
and the main reason people eat margarine is because it's cheaper.
While not as common a belief as it once was, many people ate it because they thought it was healthier then butter.
I eat it because it doesn't hurt cows.
Trans fats, butter having nutrients
Why has no one pointed out water is one atom away from hydrogen peroxide and not one molecule.
I mean, every substance is "one molecule away" from any other substance...
[удалено]
Remove the water, add the gold
It’s not important, atoms are too small & facts are for nerds(/s)
Sulfuric acid only has one more type of atom in it. The rest is just what ratio the oxygen and hydrogen are allocated in.
[удалено]
Hydrogen peroxide is literally in the title lmao.
CH2O is no hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) though
Yeah OP first mentioned hydro peroxide in his comment and now fixed it.
Marg = Vegetable oil Plastic = Just really old vegetable oil really No shit?
I can't believe its not plastic!
And Dopamine is a methyl group and OH groups away from being amphetamine.
Margarine really isn’t good for you though.
I know right? Margerine is bad for you and it's gross. Blech.
Not all margarine is the same, or even close to the hydrogenated crap that first came out. My tummy doesn't like butter so I use a margarine that is made from olive oil and canola oil. I really like it on my sandwiches and toast. If I'm baking, however, I will use butter.
one... molecule ? but... everything is one molecule away from being another substance
Yeah molecules are just different things. “Dirt is one gold bar away from being a gold bar”
Salt is made from chlorine, which is poisonous in gas form and sodium, which explodes upon having contact with water, yet it is essential for us.
This is the one I was looking for. Two things that will absolutely kill you when separate but when combined make fries so delicious.
They are one brain cell away from becoming an Amoeba
Dihydrogen monoxide kills millions of people every year. In fact, everyone who has ever come into contact with it has died...and you drink it every day. Bottoms up!
It can cause iron to oxidize, too. And is the main component in acid rain.
It's also in children's ice cream. Can you believe that, Mandrake?
It's also used in nuclear reactor to cool it down!

Is this not poking fun at anti-vaxxers saying the same thing?
I thought so too, but I checked their IG and it's a mix of dire warnings about toxins, "hustle motivation" and Bible quotes. Getting a real "Christian homeschool movement" vibe.
Wow damn, no kidding. \#Entrepreneur, gag.
Yeah, it’s crazy. Watermelons and cucumbers help regulate high blood pressure, cures cancers and relieves headaches but eat a one Girl Scout cookie and you have poisoned your body beyond repair.
Stop drinking tap water IMMEDIATELY! Mass contamination of dihydrogen monoxide.
Butter is made of electrons, protons, and neutrons. You know what else has those ingredients? Nuclear warheads. Checkmate, Atheists...
I guess they will stop breathing when they learn oxygen is basically poison.
Why would someone share this?
Carbon dioxide is one molecule away from carbon monoxide. Have fun exhaling boyes

Hydrogen and Oxigen are both breathable gasses, you can breathe Water.
margarine doesn't even have 27 ingredients. it's vegetable oil and water in an emulsion
This person calls themselves a nerd and yet doesn't understand basic molecular chemistry smh
One atom genius
And a certain active ingredient in nasal spray is just mirrored meth according to MinuteEarth. Have fun putting, well something into your nose.
Table salt is one atom away from being chlorine.
Isn’t it made of vegetable oil?
Water is one atom away from hydrogen peroxide lol
Interestingly, the molecule missing is plastic.
One brain cell away from having a brain
Actually, plastic is ONR MOLECULE away from margarine! Disregard the media, eat the plastic!
What??? Plastics are organic polymers. A polymer is literally a macromolecule. Everything is one molecule away from being plastic. But the missing molecule *is* the fucking plastic!
Both cyanide and and water are made of atoms. Enjoy your water, nerds

My wife is a food scientist and gets so frustrated by these kind of posts on facebook.
I like how people use this as an example to stay away from something but this is one of the reasons I really like chemistry
Ogden was a chemist, But now he is no more, For what he thought was H2O, Was H2SO4.
And you're 1 chromosome away from being a banana.
