That is a masterfully crafted mansplaining trap.

Chappeau.

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.

just the first part of the phrase

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?

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.

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.

Thanks, I never would have been able to understand 2>1 if you hadn't written up that amazing power point slide.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 45 points 6 days ago

It's 2 > 1, so correct two hydrogens versus one star: Sol

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 5 points 6 days ago

O sole mio!

What about celebrities?

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Celebrities contain more than two hydrogens, true.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

I skipped reading the word stars, and I thought it was deliberately wrong to rile people up.

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 14 points 6 days ago

Iits not a lot, but it's crazy that it happened twice.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 14 points 6 days ago

My autopilot brain kept skipping over molecule and missing the joke lol.

[-] don@lemm.ee 11 points 6 days ago

There are fewer hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are fingers on my hand.

Check and mate.

[-] murtaza64@programming.dev 8 points 6 days ago

Ken M made a similar joke a while back right?

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

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

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 in scale to a light second than the size of an atom. And yet atoms seem more approachable than light seconds. Fascinating stuff!
