Ignoring the joke.

A metric cup is 250 ml.

250 ml = 250 g (the density of water is intentionally 1.000 g / ml)

Water ~= 18 g/mol ( H 1.008 g/mol, O 16.something g/mol)

250 g / 18 g/mol = 13.8 mol

13.8 mol * 6 * 10^23 atoms/mol = 8.33 * 10^24 molecules of water

And there are two atoms of H in one molecule of water, so 1.66*10^25 atoms of hydrogen in a glass of water.

That’s a lot

Money doesn’t buy happiness

Like fuck it doesn’t. This is class war propaganda and shouldn’t be confused with the idea arseholes are better at making money.

Australia had to do a huge public health advertising run to shift attitudes on this.

Damaging advice

I like reminding my colleagues they don’t get paid more for working harder.

Probably why I didn’t get that manager promotion though.

Being perceived to work hard and identifying what’s important to your manager / director is second only to being their mates. Good lunk in your endeavours!
