Yes.

Pretty weak response. What would a good comeback have been?

All the same great war crimes you know and love, now with half the calories!

That’s what I thought!

Ouch owie my bones

I did a little research and the answer is pretty interesting!

Originally, chemists assigned hydrogen a mass number of 1, and used that assumption to derive the masses of the other elements. Today we definine “1” as being 1/12 of the weight of Carbon-12 (which is very close to the average weight of hydrogen we use today)

As to the relative frequencies, they can be different at different points on earth, this Chemistry SE answer goes into a lot more detail.

If you have never done “stoichiometry” before it may not be obvious but the periodic table average weights are essential for going from “I have x grams of substance” to “I have x number of atoms/molecules of substance” and from there you can use the equation of your target reaction to precisely predict the outcome of a chemical process. If you were doing very high precision chemistry, the differences in isotopic ratio in your sample vs the standard values could introduce an error but I would guess most of the time it is insignificant.

The atomic weight shown in the periodic table is what we measure based on the isotopic frequencies prevalent on earth. Different celestial bodies can (and do!) have different isotopic frequencies based on the conditions of their formation

Stay shanty, Lemmy

Who is “we” and why do they get to decide whether other countries exist?

This is the way. All your threads are belong.

Certain substances can change your life from a single “trip”

With MDMA the promise and peril is… absolutely no interpersonal walls AT ALL. No masks and no fear. Be careful who you trip with.

You are welcome!

Link, good sir?

Hello fellow traveler, have you heard of the federated Instagram alternative called Pixelfed? This crowd would probably be more likely to follow/boost you on there
