          It’s almost impossible to see the last two words because your brain is already reeling from the rest of the statement. It took me a few tries to finally parse it.

      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”.

        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 (1*10^11 to 4*10^11). A mole of water has 6.022*10^23 molecules in it, each of which has two hydrogen atoms in it for a total of 1.2044*10^24 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.

        Wasn’t thinking moles, not that technical, but it sounded plausible vs. the number of stars in the Milky Way.

        Wait…

      The glass of water is a bit misleading. Your brain starts thinking about all the water molecules inside. That’s all.

    • Number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water (H2O): 2
    • Number of stars in our (ENTIRE) solar system: 1

    That’s the joke.

      That’s actually just the first part of the phrase. The whole thing is “je ne suis pas français, chappeau”

      edit: Ok this was supposed to be a joke about mansplaining something you know nothing about, but we fell into Poe’s law.

        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?

          I didn’t get that behavior, but no significant result to explain the expression either.

          But on the topic of weird behaviors, try to get copilot or meta AI to make a sign or an image for you with a phrase in a different language than your own.

          They always translate it, I can’t get them to keep the exact text at all.

        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”

        Edit: i should add, that as far as i know, a chappeau is a type of cap or hat? Right? have to google that.

        edit2: yes, a hat. The origin of the use I know for it is probably a salute where you touch your finger or hand to the hat, or lifting the hat.
        Here saying “hat” seems to be enough :D

          Only if they are good things. 2 people trying to stab you, not greater than 1. Pessimism, the negative perspective. Only in math do we hold onto those darn dashes

            This guy is right, we need an asterisk.

            We need the same number of stars in our solar system equivalent of CCs of asterisk in here, stat.

            From the Hollywoo rule of attackering protagonists, more attackers mean more ways to foil them by misdirection and mutual banging each other, therefore 2>1.

              Plot armor set at 100 but if suddely someone gets a lot more screen screen time and is told how important they are to to people, they get a -75 to their armor for the next 20 minutes of runtime.

              Much like that 5 minute gap in a romcom where their int. hits 0 for 5 minutes and they fail to be able to ask a single question and just steam roll what they act like is a tank into a square but really ends up being that it was a misunderstanding.

    There are more memes estimating the size of the universe than there are stars in the galaxy.
