      No, it has to be a reel when you place your cutout in one of the bottom corners explaining this meme and obviously you ask what’s everybody’s opinion on this and to write it in the comments, or better one, ask people what’s it about, of course some dumbasses would chime in and make a lot of traffic so THE ALGORITHM will show this useless shut to more people etc

    Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn’t know it’s fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone put a box over it so it’s only heavily implied making me entirely safe from the scary-as-fuck word and distracted me from the area by circling the punchline that I would have never seen without it. I was about to shit a brick.

    See, I’m a chemist, but I also believe in the power and importance of organized labor, so I still read that as unionized.

    Plus, I think most chemists would say “neutral” or use protonated/deprotonated rather than un-ionized

    • @Hobo@lemmy.world

      Also un-ionized as a hyphen (which you used when writing it) and unionized doesn’t. Which is probably why you, and most chemists, would read it as unionized as well.

        It does get legitimately used both ways. In a chemistry textbook, seeing it written as “unionized” is pretty common, and wiktionary says that the hyphenated form is predominantly used in contexts where it might be confused with “having a union” (which matches with my experience).

        However, I still assert that it’s just not a word chemists use that much as there are other, less ambiguous synonyms available.

    I’ve only ever heard chemists say de-ionized, not un-ionized

        It just sounds weird

        Still technically correct, but weird.

        Reminds me of how foreign spies were caught during the cold war because they couldn’t pronounce certain words or formulate sentences with words in a customary order

          Yes comrade, clearly any pure blooded, land of freedom American, would know that un-ionized is not correct. It is instead union-ized… which is what happens when you cut onions.

      I think the reference is to “pipe union” adapters. Not sure the chemistry reference.
