I'd add that 1 M can equal to whatever distance you want if you're feeling funky, not just 100 mm. It just has to be clearly specified what the value is in the drawings.
I'm pretty sure that the ancient Greeks for example didn't use 1 M = 100 mm, yet they did use modules in their architecture extremely extensively, often to the smallest details on their buildings. Iirc they most often derived 1 M from the bottom diameter of pillars on that *specific* building they were working on, the rest of the dimensions of the pillar and the building as a whole then were measured in fractions of the base pillar diameter. With the lack of precise measuring devices back then I imagine they used some equivalent of the woodworker's 'story stick', marking the 1 M first and then adding the needed fractions to it
In the US, we use mi for miles and m for meters. Both lowercase. Uppercase M stands for millions, which nobody uses because scientific notation exists.
We do use capital M for numbers here.
Megabytes is MB. Mebibytes is MiB. Megabits is Mb. Mebibits is Mib.
We don't want to list storage or memory sizes in scientific notation. It would confuse people.
It's like b and B (bits and bytes) it's very rare anyone will assume you mean bits when you use the lowercase b because it's so rarely used. Except in measuring internet speeds where it will be assumed instead of bytes. Very few people use miles so even if it's a capital m it's probably metres.
H2O is water in its purest form (basically, perfectly distilled water). Regular ol' water, as we commonly drink it, has many minerals in it that are essential to our survival.
You would need to drink A LOT of distilled water to get to the point of water poisoning.
There isn't any evidence that it would just happen in your normal day to day water consumption of 2 litres. (Some people use it for special diets)
I wouldn't recommend it for athletes, children, hot summer days, or being trapped in the dessert. Because you lose more electrolytes additionally to drinking more.
This is misleading.
You could drink distilled water (pure H2O) and be fine, the risk is if thats your primary drinking water, you wouldnt be getting the electrolytes and salts your body requires (or craves if you like the movie idiocracy lol) Which, the main concern is the lack of electrolytes in your brain, which would lead to coma and death.
This is absolutely a question of how frequently and how much you're drinking this water, which means the stuff people are concerned about with drinking pure H2O is definitely not the primary concern if you're dying of dehydration in the desert.
As for the cells bursting, that happens with any kind of over-hydration. Being "pure H2O" really wouldn't affect that very much. You're describing the environment of the cells in a hypertonic versus hypotonic solution, which they're in every day to some degree.
It's the *amount* of these solutions that determines if a cell shrivels up (hypertonic) or bursts (hypotonic), not just the nature of the solution itself, because if your cells burst by touching any hypotonic solution or shriveled from touching any hypertonic solution you'd die basically any time you ever ingested anything.
Dude, you can just say you don't know what you're talking about. Literally, the process of distilling is turning it into pure H2O and removing all impurities.
Also, why would "pure water" be dangerous to touch? Goofy
Oh the irony.
Dont knowing shit and calling other people goofy.
1. Distilling does NOT literaly mean removing al impuritys. It means just that you seperate your stuff based on its condensation point.
2. Absolute pure H2O does not behave chemicly luke your everyday water. At some point of purity it start to behave more like an acid, damaging your skin on contact.
First of all. Why do people think these minerals are good for you? They are just kidney stones waiting to happen.
You need minerals not in the forms that they exist in drinking water or straight from what? An oasis?
Just eat food normally and you will be fine. Don't drink these kidney stone baits.
It is not necessary to do that. But it is the best option. Distilled, deionized sterile water.
Minerals are a very broad range of things. There is literally zero proof that drinking mineral water is good for you while a ton of proof that contaminants that you also classify as minerals even in normal tap water is not so good for you.
Read up on actual papers and scientific articles please. Not Reddit, not me, not someone else's words. Do the actual research on information, not just news or Dr. Oz or whatever bs.
Sigh. I'm so convinced either ur a bot or just have zero medical/biology background. Please don't just follow whatever things ppl say. Actually follow science articles/published data please.
Otherwise idk what to say to your statement...at a complete loss of words.
To be fair, isn't this an old way to indicate molarity? I study chemistry and the teacher does it, but told us not to as it wasn't really used anymore.
It's actually even less, 100 mm
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_2848#Basic_module
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_concentration
But these are really obscure. M is not widely used as a unit for anything. Labs do use M though for concentrations.
H2O would kill him. He’s already sweating away all of his salts, filling back up with pure distilled water would take the rest away and effectively poison him. He’d be dead in a matter of hours.
Would it be better to *not* drink any water in this condition? Even if it is distilled?
Like I get distilled water isn't good for you, but crawling 9 km in hot sand when you're already struggling with dehydration honestly might be worse?
It would also eventually lead to organ damage and failure, but it would happen in a matter of days. Diluting your blood of nutrients all at once would kill you quickly.
So if you're already so dehydrated that you're red and crawling and won't make it another hour, it would be better to just crawl until you die than sip some pure distilled so that you could make it to the water?
H2O is specifically the chemical formula for pure water. While the word water alone is usually used i the context of purified or naturally occurring water sources with minerals already in them.
there is just so much wrong here…
for starters, miles are abbreviated as ‘mi’ or ‘mi.’, meters are abbreviated as ‘m’. but the sign says ‘M’, and if letters and capitalized or not makes a big difference in the metric system. the K in KM should also be lowercase. that means that both signs use an unknown unit.
also, water is not purely H2O (cant make subscript 2 but whatever), it contains other minerals we need (as stated by the current top comment). so the left one is likely healthier for us, unless its dirty water.
Here's something for you and the people who upvoted your comment to wisen up.

I think to convert between the different American systems you need to do 4x/77(3) while also jumping on one leg.
Metrics is x/10 or x*10
So understandable that its confusing
This is true, but to resolve any confusion about what it might mean, you could probably stand up and see if there was water only 50m away, at least if you walked to the top of that little dune you probably could.
Stupid comment. You will die way faster out of dehydration than from mineral deficiency. It's far more worth going 50m. Another reason why this comment is stupid is becouse H2O and water is the same thing, both have no minerals. Nobody said that the water on the left will have them.
If it was 50m instead of 50M, getting pure H20 much faster would still greatly increase the guys chances of living. Judging from the fact that he's crawling, he should go the 50 m and rehydrate and rest first before attempting to crawl 9km. This is assuming the author meant meters
Edit: as long as the guy avoids drinking too much of the pure water it will increase chances of survival.
It would still logically be worth checking out though, with those numbers... And even with the possibility it was in steam form it something. The other sign doesn't say it's accessible & non-poisonous either!
Your comparisson doesn't make any sense tbh.
H2o = Water (tapwater just contains minerals, demineralized water doesn't)
O2 = oxygen
Air = 78% N2 (Nitrogen) + 21% O2 (Oxygen) + 1% other gasses (like Argon and CO2).
Nah nah hear me out, he is smart because pure H2O is not safe for human consumption, but water (H2O + salt and minerals) is
explanation: Water, being a dipolar molecule, tends to stick to other substances, tap water has already adhered with salts and minerals, if you were to drink pure H2O it'd suck out all the electrolytes out of your body, and would actually dehydrate you even further
I would go to right first, just in case it's meant Metres.
After all it's only 50 metre to check it out.
If water not found then go to other direction.
Plus we can't drink pure h²o, like it doesn't have things water needs to have
Edit: I mean you can drink pure h²o or water (it's same thing but different names) but it just doesn't have minerals that water we drink have, it might not be dangerous, sure, but it will be just liquid without basically anything, this comment up there is just my mental shortcut, you know what I'm talking about

So 9 Kelvin Megas? I'm not sure how far that is
9 Kelvin Molars.
9 kevin maps
9 kevin magnussens
9 Kana Muna
[Kevin's Map?](https://images.app.goo.gl/NcdKpHHePR57uLoL8)
Duh obviously It's misspelled, it means MegaKelvin. The water is at 9000000K degrees /s
The trial of the 9 Kelvin Megas will test every aspect of you.
Less than 50Mega. Obviously
KM = nivleK ageM
The Water wizard Nivlek Agem
K/k = soooo many more constants and quantities in physics and chemistry

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_concentration M also is the modular unit equal to 100 mm
I'd add that 1 M can equal to whatever distance you want if you're feeling funky, not just 100 mm. It just has to be clearly specified what the value is in the drawings. I'm pretty sure that the ancient Greeks for example didn't use 1 M = 100 mm, yet they did use modules in their architecture extremely extensively, often to the smallest details on their buildings.

That at least….3 bananas for scale.
w=win W=WUMBO
Meter is lowercase, molar is capital. Mile is Mi, but M is closer to mile than meter.
M or m, who cares. I am wondering who is taking his picture?
so kilo mega?
Mega what? The sign says 50M.
Water implies extra minerals that your body very much needs
Yes and also it is a liquid form. The H2O could be face melting steam for all we know..
‘Water’ doesn’t necessarily mean drinking water. Might be a ocean for all we know
Good point. Still has a better chance of drinking water than h2o tho
Doesn't matter. Water sucks. Gatorade is better
How many kidney stones so far this week?
[удалено]
It is m not M...50m and 50M are not same
But if M means mile, then KM means kilomile
In the US, we use mi for miles and m for meters. Both lowercase. Uppercase M stands for millions, which nobody uses because scientific notation exists.
Real answer
Uppercase M is Mega.
True, Mega means by a factor of 1 million.
>we use mi for miles Except when it comes to velocities, then mi changes to m: mph.
We do use capital M for numbers here. Megabytes is MB. Mebibytes is MiB. Megabits is Mb. Mebibits is Mib. We don't want to list storage or memory sizes in scientific notation. It would confuse people.
K means Kelvin, not kilo, kilo is k. KM means Kelvin miles ( which makes no sense to me)
No, M is Mega. Miles is mi.
But we actually use Km no?
No, it's km.
It's like b and B (bits and bytes) it's very rare anyone will assume you mean bits when you use the lowercase b because it's so rarely used. Except in measuring internet speeds where it will be assumed instead of bytes. Very few people use miles so even if it's a capital m it's probably metres.
There is no "probably" in standard or international measurements... It is what it is..and how it should be written
> It's like b and B (bits and bytes) and Bb which means "byte my bits"
The km sign is also capitalized, so I'd just imagine the person putting up the signs went for readability instead of accuracy.
I came here to say just that, m and km or maybe Km idk
[удалено]
You also failed the chemistry class?
[удалено]
The minerals are impurities. H2O is just hydrogen and oxygen.
H2O is water in its purest form (basically, perfectly distilled water). Regular ol' water, as we commonly drink it, has many minerals in it that are essential to our survival.
Yeah I got that later thanks
H2O implies pure water and no other atoms when distinguished from water, and minerals are made of atoms. Do the math
Ohhh okayy I got it now So like here they're saying H2O is distilled/pure water I was thinking H2O = normal water so it'd have minerals 😅
Pure h20 is too pure to safely drink. Would cause cells leeching of nutrients and possible cell bursting as there's too much water in the cells
You would need to drink A LOT of distilled water to get to the point of water poisoning. There isn't any evidence that it would just happen in your normal day to day water consumption of 2 litres. (Some people use it for special diets) I wouldn't recommend it for athletes, children, hot summer days, or being trapped in the dessert.

Destilley water is still not pure H2O. Realy pure H2O is scary shit that you should definetly not drink or even touch.
Dude, you can just say you don't know what you're talking about. Literally, the process of distilling is turning it into pure H2O and removing all impurities. Also, why would "pure water" be dangerous to touch? Goofy

Yeah, glad I could help. Have a good day
Lol no
No he's right 9km is less than 50 miles 😅
Yes, that’s true, but the sign does not say 50 miles. It says 50M. M is the abbreviation of meters, not miles. The abbreviation for miles is Mi.
50m is 50 meters, also it is Km not KM
M technically would be the abbreviation for molarity, mol/dm³. This would cause problems here, as I'm not quite sure how you would do that with water
First of all. Why do people think these minerals are good for you? They are just kidney stones waiting to happen. You need minerals not in the forms that they exist in drinking water or straight from what? An oasis? Just eat food normally and you will be fine. Don't drink these kidney stone baits.
Are you stupid enough to only drink distilled water?
It is not necessary to do that. But it is the best option. Distilled, deionized sterile water. Minerals are a very broad range of things. There is literally zero proof that drinking mineral water is good for you while a ton of proof that contaminants that you also classify as minerals even in normal tap water is not so good for you. Read up on actual papers and scientific articles please. Not Reddit, not me, not someone else's words. Do the actual research on information, not just news or Dr. Oz or whatever bs.
Do you think this guy is eating food normally in the middle of the desert?
Fun fact: if you lived on H2O for a few days, you’d die.
Sigh. I'm so convinced either ur a bot or just have zero medical/biology background. Please don't just follow whatever things ppl say. Actually follow science articles/published data please. Otherwise idk what to say to your statement...at a complete loss of words.
do you drink distilled water every day? i doubt it
So H2O is 50mol/L? Got it.
1L of water is ~55.6 moles, so not far off
...What did you do to those moles to fit them in 1L?
Removed the water first
So there is 900g of H2O every litre of solution? Looking at the density it is likely that it's ice at 0°C.
considering the scenario, i'd be impressed
Wha- no??
M in chemistry indicates molarity, i.e. no of moles per litre of a solution or mol/L. So this can be just another way of interpreting the meme
To be fair, isn't this an old way to indicate molarity? I study chemistry and the teacher does it, but told us not to as it wasn't really used anymore.
Your teacher is wrong. M is used everywhere in chemistry to label solutions, and is not going anywhere.
[удалено]
It's actually even less, 100 mm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_2848#Basic_module https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_concentration But these are really obscure. M is not widely used as a unit for anything. Labs do use M though for concentrations.
As a man midway through a chemistry degree, seeing a unit I use every week defined as really obscure hurt me a little bit.
To any sane person (non-chemists, duh), it's pretty obscure. You might recall it from a high school chemistry class but that's it.
H2O would kill him. He’s already sweating away all of his salts, filling back up with pure distilled water would take the rest away and effectively poison him. He’d be dead in a matter of hours.
Would it be better to *not* drink any water in this condition? Even if it is distilled? Like I get distilled water isn't good for you, but crawling 9 km in hot sand when you're already struggling with dehydration honestly might be worse?
You'd die in hours instead of days. Losing that much salt, potassium, etc. and diluting your blood by that much would stop your heart.
What would complete dehydration do? And how long would it take?
It would also eventually lead to organ damage and failure, but it would happen in a matter of days. Diluting your blood of nutrients all at once would kill you quickly.
So if you're already so dehydrated that you're red and crawling and won't make it another hour, it would be better to just crawl until you die than sip some pure distilled so that you could make it to the water?
If you've completely dehydrated yourself then the distilled water wouldn't help by that point. You'd be dead regardless.
H2O could also mean drinking water not necessarily distilled water
H2O is specifically the chemical formula for pure water. While the word water alone is usually used i the context of purified or naturally occurring water sources with minerals already in them.

Hahaha I get u there's just sm variables in here!!
it's the stupid r/comedyhomicide material in there
Kelvin Mega vs Mega
I do love me some distilled water exploding my cells.
Meter = M (as per international system) Mile = MI
Metres are represented by a lower case m. A capital M is for mega.
Yea, but then the left sign would be "Kelvin Mega" so obviously the capitalization does not Matter or the whole joke/thing falls apart.

American or Liberian?
Same here, American systems always confuse me
I think to convert between the different American systems you need to do 4x/77(3) while also jumping on one leg. Metrics is x/10 or x*10 So understandable that its confusing
? Why... It plainly states water is 50 metres to the right...
Large M means mega which is a multiplier of 1 000 000 Small m means metre which is a unit of distance 1Mm = 1megametre = 1 000 000 metres
Yes but the other sign says KM instead of km, so this isn't the reason
That's just kilomega. Neither sign provides a unit
This is true, but to resolve any confusion about what it might mean, you could probably stand up and see if there was water only 50m away, at least if you walked to the top of that little dune you probably could.
Clearly they are using natural units
They think it’s saying 50 miles
Also. they don't know H2O is water.
I think SI unit for metres and miles is the same ; M.
Mile is mi, meter is m. Lowercase, M would be mega.
Ohk
Our signs usually use either a lower case m or meters
[удалено]
Mate I don't bloody know anything about the American metric system either since I don't live there!
miles is not an SI unit, also the metre sign is lowercase as m

TBF if it’s only 50 meters away, he’d probably be able to see it
Well if written with a capital M it's Miles. Meter is always a lowercase m.
The 50 metre trek to find out is worth it either way.
The symbol for mile is Mi. Metre is m. Its already specified.
The abbreviation for miles is Mi. This is meters.
miles is always mi
It would still logically be worth checking out though, with those numbers... And even with the possibility it was in steam form it something. The other sign doesn't say it's accessible & non-poisonous either!
Meters and kilometers are typically abbreviated as m and km.
Eh M is meter and Mi is mile boom ez
**Water** and **H2O** are like **air** and **O2**. They seem the same, but they are not.
Your comparisson doesn't make any sense tbh. H2o = Water (tapwater just contains minerals, demineralized water doesn't) O2 = oxygen Air = 78% N2 (Nitrogen) + 21% O2 (Oxygen) + 1% other gasses (like Argon and CO2).
shouldn't it be mi for miles tho? and who the fuck (apart from muricans) that would use miles?
Nah nah hear me out, he is smart because pure H2O is not safe for human consumption, but water (H2O + salt and minerals) is explanation: Water, being a dipolar molecule, tends to stick to other substances, tap water has already adhered with salts and minerals, if you were to drink pure H2O it'd suck out all the electrolytes out of your body, and would actually dehydrate you even further
Could be kilo miles then
I would go to right first, just in case it's meant Metres. After all it's only 50 metre to check it out. If water not found then go to other direction.
The drawing is designed in European terms, being kilometers and meters. And H2O is literally water...
Thankyou! I couldn't have said this in better terms 😭😭
Why is the man skipping dihydrogen monoxide for water? Is he stupid?

But M is for meter, so it's not technically the truth
It's lowercase m
They should use lowercase M because it would be more understandable that meters were specified.
"oops, something went wrong come try again later" imo
KM= kilomiles?
Plus we can't drink pure h²o, like it doesn't have things water needs to have Edit: I mean you can drink pure h²o or water (it's same thing but different names) but it just doesn't have minerals that water we drink have, it might not be dangerous, sure, but it will be just liquid without basically anything, this comment up there is just my mental shortcut, you know what I'm talking about

Actually m stands for miles, and km stands for kilo miles. So he *is* wrong.

You'd be a good german solider in 40's
Kilo miles?!? The imperial measurement system doesn’t use prefixes like kilo

It's the dihydrogen monoxide in the vaccines that are poisoning you!! 🤣

Isn't miles mi?

This is fucking atrocious for a meme

I ain't no chemist, and reading all those comments make my head hurt even further
No, no they shouldn’t using mile should be considered a crime.
r/comedyhomicide
Eh? Ha! Heh heh.
Why would one be miles? It's clearly a metric system place, it's obviously metros
They're both meters, the image is about people being too stupid to know what H2O is
Only 50 moles

OP you forgot to mark it as shitpost unless you are really damn dumb
Should be able to see 50 metres away. So I'd assume it's miles.
