There’s more cells in our brain than brains in our entire body.

    And I really hope it stays that way, at least until it's not my problem to worry about anymore.

    Is there another star coming soon?

    No, but they're changing water so it only has one hydrogen atom

    As I said, I really hope not. Doesn't really matter what hypothetical situation you talk about, if it involves another star being in or close to our solar system, it's gonna end badly for us.

    I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.

    But I suppose if it just saunters by slowly and pulls us out of our usual orbit, maybe we have a few days or weeks of mass confusion and suffering?

    I assume it would be very fast and painless if it just comes charging in.

    Even if it comes in very fast, you're still talking about many months of forewarning, perhaps even many hundreds of years if it was a "normal" star instead of something like a brown dwarf.

    There are more hydrogen atoms on your finger than in the entire glass of water

    Sure, now go try to explain this to all those scientists creating mini black holes at the LHG.

    Ours is the only solar system anless some other alien grots named their star Sol.

    The article "the" in "the solar system" means that we are talking about one specific solar system. It's left for the reader to decide which one should be assumed, but in this case it's actually clear that ours is meant.

    That means, it's clear that the meme is talking about our solar system, not some other solar system somewhere nor some bunch of solar systems.

    But there are more hydrogen atoms in that star than there are in Earth's water!

    And hydrogen plus oxygen plus energy equals water...

    So if we oxygenate the Sun...

    What do you mean? Our Solar System has the same number of stars as a water molecule has oxygen atoms.

    There are more quarks in a single helium atom than planets in the solar system.

    We should never forget the hydrogen Bob that ended the beautiful country of Samholy, that famous Samholian country just 2 miles west of SanDiego's Petco Parker. One cup of pure water contains more than enough hydrogen to do that and more. Samholy, ah yes the beautiful country of Samholy.

    by this logic there are more water than stars

    my work:

    water = hydro (aka)
    stars = stars (ok like that)
    more hydro than stars
    ipso facto 💁
