A hug without u is fucking metal
A hug without u is version control
reminds me of this rhyme
little johnny is dead and gone, we’ll see his face no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4
Which reminds me of this rhyme:
Young Tom went too soon, alas
He tried to trace the escaping gas.
With lighted match he braved this feat
Which blew him to the pearly gates!
Isn’t HgU also pretty toxic though?
I don’t think that’s a possible compound. My chemistry knowledge is very rusty but I can recall ever hearing about a chemical bond between two metals.
Edit: I’m happy to have been corrected.

Let it never be said that I don’t back up my silly Internet comments with sufficient research.
Fascinating.
I [can’t] recall ever hearing about a chemical bond between two metals
That’s what alloys are. Brass, bronze, pewter, etc. Alloys containing mercury get the special name “amalgam”, for some reason.
Does that mean that a piece of metal is essentially one giant molecule?
Essentially, yes.
Whether the term “molecule” technically includes or excludes a piece of metal is a bit more tricky. I lean towards “no” more than “yes” because there are some important differences between what we generally call a “molecule” and how we think about a glassy or a crystalline solid. But I think both positions are arguable. If we are not being pedantic, then essentially yeah.
Kind of. Metallic bonding is a bit different from covalent bonding in that the electrons are delocalized over the entire material rather than trapped between specific atoms. The atoms are still stuck to each other by overlapping electron clouds though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
cesium auride?
CsAu? AuCs? I must be missing something…
it’s an ionic compound.
Wow, I wasn’t familiar with the Au^- anion. Seems fairly exotic.
Like I don’t know much about chemistry but like that chemical doesn’t look happy , wouldn’t be surprised if its explosive
edit : apparently HgU is stable as a gas which is somehow even more terrifying
What do you get when you mix Uranium, Nickel, Cobalt, and Radon?
Cancer?
You get a UNiCoRn, but I guess it can be a cancerous unicorn.
Maybe they all are
There qas never found a unicorn that’s not cancerous
A narwhal
How can I hug someone if that someone doesn’t exist?
A “hug” without “u” as in the other person? What am I hugging? The Air?
Seems you would be hugging a liquid at room temperature metal that is also toxic.
HgichT
They did toxic shit! But I kind of like it haha
