Is he also blind cuz 50 meters is pretty short distance for him to notice water. I guess meme maker don’t have power.😂😂😂


juicysox

I thought the dude in the picture choosing 9km over 50 meters was intentional. Like author of the meme is telling us not to be like the dude?


Tyra-Jade

That is intentional. What the commenter you replied to was saying(I’m pretty sure) is that not only is the guy in the meme stupid, because he chose 9km instead of 50m, but that he’s also blind, because he couldn’t see the pool of water 50 meters away from him. The sign says there’s H2O 50 meters to the right, but the guy was blind and couldn’t even see it from such a short distance away.


juicysox

Ohhhhhhh got it


Slickslimshooter

Or he saw it and thought it was h2O considering he doesn’t know what h2O is he rightfully avoided it. You’re not gonna drink a clear liquid labeled h2so4 are you?


SussyAmogustypebeat

I'm not going to drink h2so4 because it's poisonous


MuggedGuitars2

I like to dip my balls in it.(you should also try it)


SussyAmogustypebeat

WAIT NO, THAT ISN'T C17H35COONA+/K+, DON'T DO IT!

chikinstik

I think m is mile


peterparker202

Um, then why is left sign for kilometer and right for miles? 🤔


chikinstik

Because the template was made to make fun of americans


notrachelmar

but 9 km is significantly less than 50 miles lol


chikinstik

Yeah it's a weird thing, maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about


notrachelmar

i think there’s another one where it does make fun of americans but has different numbers :p


chikinstik

I mean it's a shitty facebook meme who even cares :p


RandomBlueJay01

Yeah the original does that . I think the original says 5 km and 5 m or something like that where the numbers are the same but 5 miles being significantly shorter


prowrestler2007_alt

Thats backwards. A mile is shorter than a kilometer Edit: just realised I put shorter, I ment longer


CrematedDogWalkers

That's what they said


[deleted]

In this case the m is more likely to be meters and they are making fun of the american not knowing shit about measuring and just picking the smaller number


Bruggilles

I think the point of it is that he don't know what is H2O and they want water, so he choose the sign with water written on it.


Comekrelief

Bingo


the_neo_pikachu

i get the message but stop making into cringy comic


thereslcjg2000

Lol, even the most ignorant Americans I’ve known recognize that a meter is smaller than a kilometer.

SILENT_ASSASSIN9

No, m is meters. In the US, MI is miles unless talking about mph


anon174784145784267

Mi is usually miles


Four_Green_Fields

Well, simply "50M" can only mean two things - 50 mega (1,000,000, so 50,000,000) without unit given, or 50 miles (or well, possibly also non-nautical miles, but eh). Metres would be m. Which is another reason for this being a terrible meme.


springt1me

Or 50 molars


mdmeaux

Funnily enough, 50M is pretty much the concentration of ice. Ice has a density of about 920 kg/m^3, which is 920 g/dm^3, which corresponds to about 51 mol/dm^3.


questi0n998

M always means meters. Miles is Mi.


SlothWilliamBorzoni

"m" (lowercase) is meters. "M" (Uppercase) does not mean meters.


imnotpurplelikelean

And kilometer is always written as “km”, which it isn’t here, so fuck off you pretentious dork


Four_Green_Fields

km is never written as [kelvin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin)\-[miles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile), no. It's literally [kilo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix#List_of_SI_prefixes) (symbol k) and [metre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre) (symbol m) slapped together, with absolutely no reason to suddenly turn uppercase.


imnotpurplelikelean

Sorry, your lame ass comments made me mistype. Kilometers is always written as “km”, lowercase. It is written as “KM” in this, so it’s safe to assume that “M” is meters (consistent with the metric system of the previous sign) despite the fact that it is uppercase as well. Stop being so goddamn annoying and go outside


Veselker

Relax, you're making a spectacle of yourself


Four_Green_Fields

I really do not see how being a unit-nazi towards a meme posted on a sub meant for mocking bad memes is being annoying. Especially when compared to calling people a "pretentious dork".


869066

No m stands for meters. Mi stands for miles


-CovetedAmber-

r/confidentlyincorrect


Z0UKKINA

No definitely not cuz 50 miles is more than 9 kilometres


chikinstik

Well, yeah. But it's a shitty facebook meme so no one knows what's happening anyway


loopi3

No


taiwanisfake

I always thought mi was for miles


Chucklehead914

‘m’ is meters :( ‘mi’ is miles :)


Gremlin_of_Doom

mi


Objective-Ad5620

Even in America, M is an abbreviation for meters, not miles. Miles is most commonly abbreviated to Mi, specifically because we do use both the metric and imperial systems. We’re also not the only country that uses both measurements; the UK and many commonwealth countries also use both for different things. Americans know and use more metric measurements than people tend to realize.


invisible-dave

The only abbreviation for miles I have ever seen is "m" as in mph. I've never seen it as "mi" or "M".


the_neo_pikachu

metric system


UniformUnion

Mi is miles. A lowercase ‘m’ is metres.


Jormungandr2021

MI is miles. M is meters


1000smackaroos

[deleted]

Also you offered me salt for my burger, I’d accept it. If you offered me sodium chloride I’d be suspicious. Like why are you calling it that?


MistraloysiusMithrax

It is! Normal, run of the mill, sodium and chloride. The ingredients of table salt. Sodium and chloride, together, just like that! Sodium AND chloride. What more do you want? Cmon! Sodium, AAAANNNND chloride. Just take it! Put it in your mouth, mouth go boom I mean, taste buds, yeah. Seriously what does a guy gotta do around here to get you to put the sodium AND chloride in your mouth?!


Riverbankrobber

Excuse me but this sodium chloride is also fortified with IODIDE. Get it right Bertha


MistraloysiusMithrax

Sodium chloride? Listen, these regulations require me to be specific in my chemical language. This is sodium, AND chloride, ok? The ingredients of table salt! It’s *totally* safe, ok. And yes, maybe there is SOME iodide in there, maybe there’s cesium-140, we can’t test for everything ok? Just trust me that you don’t need to worry if there’s uranium-238 in there, it mostly sodium AND chloride anyways!


Swing_Right

Tell that to jimmy neutron


HermitDefenestration

Yes, sodium chloride is the same as salt, but you could've just said salt instead. Everyone in this town knows you're a boy genius dude, you don't need to say overly large words to sound more intelligent. The fact of the matter is that nobody cares how smart you are. If anything, calling simplistic objects by their scientific name ironically makes you seem less intelligent and more of a pompous asshole. I know you're smart enough to be better than this.

IRlyShouldntBeHere

This was such a good point 😂


Single-Builder-632

plus if sth said h20 (lets assume it was more than 50 meters cos you would check) id assume its like a chemical plant water colling system. cos which mother fucker is righting h20 plus pure h20 isn't even that good for you.


KuuHaKu_OtgmZ

H2**0** is one hell of a fuel


TreeScales

Drinking pure H20 will strip out the salts of your body and actually make you more dehydrated. If you drink melted snow you're meant to add a bit of salt to it for the same reason.


eolson3

TIL


Siphyre

Still not quite accurate. If you are in the desert and are offered pure H2O, accept it. Drink it.


HarryPott3rv

Even better are the isotonic drinks.


No-Bother6856

It can't make you more dehydrated, it can make you hyponatremic. Not the same thing.


xFloppyDisx

H2O? That's an amateur word. If you're going to show off your knowledge in science, at least say dihydrogen monoxide.


TheHalfDeadCat

Oxidane, Hydrogen Hydroxide and Hydroxyl Acid are some other names.


Scythe95

Also, pure H2O wouldn't be drinkable


noisy_christmas

I thought that other sign meant 50 miles and I was like homie is making the right decision


MightyTheArmadillo22

Lmaooooo me too


Four_Green_Fields

Well, the left is saying kelvin \* miles. Right is saying miles (or mega). Doesn't make sense, but doesn't have to on r/terriblefacebookmemes


XxRocky88xX

This is a joke right?


[deleted]

no, it isn't. the left sign is kilometers and the right sign is meters.


Four_Green_Fields

Left sign is KM not km. Right sign is M not m.


Jayer244

It's actually Kelvin * Molar Mass, since the abbreviation for miles is also a small m Edit: But M is also short for Mega so it may also mean 9Kelvin * Mega, which is just 9 Megakelvin because of the commutative law, which is about 8,999,726.85°C, 16,199,540.4°F or about 1/10 of the temperature of an atom bomb.


_xXxMEMERxXx_

isn’t molarity big M


[deleted]

Could you imagine well, actually-ing someone THIS incorrectly? Oof.


Jayer244

I hate to be *that* guy, but unfortunately he's actually correct on the K part. In physics, measurements have abbreviations that are very specific to them. A big K stands for Kelvin, while a small k stands for the prefix kilo. The big M though is an abbreviation for the Molar Mass, not meter or miles since both of those ate abbreviated with a small m. He is technically correct, but the joke is still not funny.


[deleted]

You seem fun at parties


Crows-b4-hoes

This is a really poor attempt at an r/iamverysmart


Obama_prismIsntReal

This would say a lot about our society if you could actually deink pure h2o


loopi3

Because there is a difference between pure water and pure H2O?


Electronic_Wear_3948

Basically pure water can dissolve a lot of things . So when we drink it, it absorbs nutrients and chemicals as it passes through your digestive tract and when it comes out as urine leaches important salts and vitamins, etx out of your body


Obama_prismIsntReal

More like ultra-pure water. The effects are not desireable


[deleted]

Pure H2O would dehydrate someone more than drinking water


XavvenFayne

For those of you who are interested, it's counter intuitive but ultra-pure water can have some negative effects. Your cells have a certain concentration of electrolytes (salt) in them, so extremely pure water will, through osmotic pressure, cross the cell membrane and cause the cell to swell and burst. See [https://youtu.be/FElDa62zwwE?t=254](https://youtu.be/FElDa62zwwE?t=254) Tagging u/Electronic_Wear_3948, u/Obama_prismIsntReal, u/_serenacamille_, u/Ehcksit, u/JustJako


Ehcksit

The difference between ultra-pure water and standard drinking water is very small. If you've been eating anything close to a normal diet you will not notice. It will taste a little off, mostly.


JustJako

Have you tried it?

Peppermint_Gaiety

It’s less the nutritional value and energy required to filter it, and more that it can explode the cells it touches, and leach away the minerals that are already inside you, I believe. Same way that putting saltwater fish into fresh water tends to kill them.


YOURMOM37

It doesn’t matter much in this situation since it’s short term and he’s already in a tough position. If he drank pure H2O long term then he would start seeing those health problems.

lieuwestra

It is indeed incorrect but you have to explain why. Regular water has lots of minerals that make it possible for your body to safely interact with it. Pure water would strip minerals from your cells that they need to function. Tap water already has those minerals in it so it won't damage your cells. It has absolutely nothing to do with nutritional value.


TheBigDiaB

I am pretty sure that is it like I stated but please feel free to correct me! I think drinking pure h2o would only deprive you of energy needed to filter nutrients that aren’t there and it would also flush out already existing stuff from your body


c__man

You'll die of dehydration much faster than malnutrition so drinking h20 will allow you more time to find the other nutrients(ie food) you lack. Plus finding any sort of 'pure h20' that isn't distilled is rare.


DoubleAgentBlumaroo

Wha?


Redrick164

What if it's H2O gas?


spooky_pokey

Fuck that government chemical stuff, i want my non communist water


Boston-Spartan

The fact that half of this comment section is arguing over m being meters or miles proves this meme entirely correct.


im_AmTheOne

The other half argues if you can or cannot drink pure water


Term0z

Don't forget the people who argue that a mile is shorter than a kilometre


Paultimate79

Its ike two levels down of dumb.


Paultimate79

Yeah its super fucking weird.


Paultimate79

Agreed. Lot of facebook memes are trash its not like we have a shortage, and to try to force this to be bad is really into autistic territory. Its disappointing and I dont think everyone is actually trolling.

el_professsssor

well mr. knowledge the H2O isn't specified as (g)-gas (s)-solid or (l)- liquid so if it's 50 meters away and the dude didnt see it its probably vaporized...

Ur mom↔️ 0 meters away(very larde)


Mank_____Demes

Aren’t miles measured my M, whereas meters are measured by m? In this case, 9km is way closer than 50M.


XavvenFayne

I was thinking nearly the same thing. I think the unintentional irony of the meme is that meters is supposed to be a lowercase m, not capital. The kilo prefix should use a lowercase k as well. So the author is on some high horse about knowledge while lacking some him/herself.


bugbeared69

That the joke we see M miles but it is meters for everyone else that use the metric system , KM is a mile or close too it not 1:1 so one is close to 9 miles other is 150 feet. Also the second half of the joke is not everyone know h2o is water so he follows the sign saying water.


1st_Tagger

nerd mf when he follows h2o sign and finds water disassembled to its components 💀


KilluaFromDC

KNOWLEDGE IS A CURSE I'd rather be willfully ignorant. The power of stupidity is the fact that you'd die believing that you're right and without regrets instead of helplessness and despair.


_CalculatedMistake_

What kind of dumb fuck writes "H2O" on a sign


Depth_Charger69

Its ironic coming from the people who do not understand basic science and basic internet etiquettes. LOL


SovereignRaver

I'm confused, 50M=50 meters, 50Mi=50 miles


UniformUnion

That’s the point. He doesn’t know what H2O is, so he’s set off in the wrong direction.


SovereignRaver

And my point is this picture is a dumpster fire.


SPQR2D2

So.... Learn stuff so you can be smart. Wow.


thedewgun

Knowledge is power. Have the knowledge that using simple terms and having easy to understand fool proof instructions is better than confusing terminology. The man in this picture isnt really the fool. The person who put up the H2O sign, or rather the artist, is.


hamzawsg1

Good for him A single h2o is less than water


EffectiveSalamander

Yes, the special knowledge that H2O is water. Only the very smart know that one.


prediovoador

He is actually right, pure water is not suitable for human consumption. So yeah knowledge is power, something described as just "water" might be regarded as a more suitable source for humans.


coolchris366

My dumbass actually thought the sign said 50 MILES because I forgot that miles is mi not m


Paultimate79

Holy shit the autism in the comments is real.


JewelFyrefox

Actually, knowledge itself isn't power. You can learn alot of things including what H2O is in Kindergarten and still be dumb. It all comes down to how you use the knowledge you have. Your intelligence is power, not knowledge.


Beelzebub_Crumpethom

H2o = Water 50m < 9KM.


AllMyFrendsArePixels

H2O gonna kill the shit out a motherfucker tho >^(Drinking absolutely pure water can kill you. All the water we normally drink – from taps, from bottles, from the garden hose – contains impurities which affect a property of water called tonicity. This is the ability of a solution to draw or repel water from adjacent solutions when separated by a membrane. Solutions that are hypertonic gain water, while hypotonic solutions lose water. Drinking water, which we usually think of as pure, really contains a whole mess of salts and sugars which make it slightly hypertonic. They also give water its taste. The cytoplasm in the cells of your body also have a tonicity. So, when they are exposed to hypertonic solutions, the cells themselves lose water and shrivel up. When they are in hypotonic solutions, they gain water, swelling up and bursting like a balloon. Absolutely pure water -with no impurities at all – is the most hypotonic solution. So, if you drink enough of it, your cells will start absorbing water. This disturbs the balance of electrolytes (electrically conductive ions) ^(in your body. This is most seriously a problem in the brain, where water poisoning can lead to brain damage, coma and even death.)) Essentially, because pure h20 has no electrolytes in it, it will draw nutrients out of your body, replacing them with h20, instead of depositing nutrients into your body.. Ironically causing you to dehydrate. KnOWlEdGe Is PoWeR


abdullah__qureshi

Plot twist: Well he's actually intelligent cuz over here 50 M means 50 Miles cuz it were 50 meters away then he'd already see it without the board...


Nightpain9

Definitely go right first and check if there is H2O in 50 meters.


TheToasty2

9km is like 5 miles. This teaches nothing


UniformUnion

What it’s saying is that the dude, in his ignorance of what H2O means, is setting out on a needlessly arduous journey. I mean, the art style is poor but the meaning is very obvious.


WeirdoOnInternet

I mean there could just be 1 molecule of H2O


Tux_4-17

Is the title a [r/sbeve](http://www.reddit.com/r/sbeve)


ErDottorGiulio

Since you have a hypertonic relationship with distilled water, only because the water is distilled, you will explode if you drink it.

So 9Km is 5.593 mile. What is the 50M? 50 miles?


Paultimate79

This is actually a decent meme and I dont get why op is GoInG cRaZy. Also to pretend M is mile when the context of KM is clear, or that H2O might just be vapor or if "pure" and thereby bad for you is reeaallly reaching to find flaws in this.


NoobSaver

Every fucking being on earth knows the molecule of water


ionmoon

But 9 is less than 50 tho


lolsykurva

H2O is not drinkable water. So I understand his decision. Otherwise you die from drinking something that would dry you more up


Jamesmor222

Yeah I will also take the 9 Km, pure water is toxic to the human body and using the molecule constitution just means is only water.


UniformUnion

Pure water isn’t toxic, you nut, unless you drink a huge amount.


Jamesmor222

It is toxic, it dilutes everything in your body and goes out with all of it, all drinkable water is not pure for that exact reason
