    I come from a dynasty of educators. I cannot emphasize that enough. At Christmas I had to explain what a molecule was. Amongst them were several teachers and administrative individuals.

      At some point, you need to revisit and refresh your understanding of the world. People can and do forget information they learned 30 or 40 years ago if they’re not making use of it on at least a semi-regular basis.

        Bro, a molecule! I do Uber so I’m definitely not using chemistry on a day to day basis. But a fucking molecule‽ Come on man…

          Genuinely curious if you could pass Chem 101 exam from your Uber driver seat. Do you just know the word or could you actually speak on it.

            I really don’t know where you’re going with this dumbass statement, but I can assure you that I know the meaning of one very common word.

                Omg, you’re trying to sound smart! It’s so cute!

                So let me explain to you what the word “molecules” means. You have these individual building blocks of everything. They are called atoms. When one atom is bonded, whether covalently, ionically, metallic, or van der walls(to be fair I still don’t know what that means) it is considered a molecule.

                Do you want me to dumb it down more for you?

                No? Are you going to shut the fuck up now? Cause I actually have a degree in this shit.
