In all seriousness, you should watch out for a related chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. DHMO claims thousands of lives every year!

Many breweries add DHMO directly to their product without disclosing it on the label.

Since hydrogen is a gas in its natural state, isn't it technically "chilled, rusted hydrogen" because it is a liquid which has less energy than gas?

Its oxidized, so its corroded. AKA, in simple laymans terms, rusted.

Well that's just your room temperature and pressure bias talking. All states are natural states, subject to environmental conditions.

Guess again. Think nitrogen bonds in exothermic redox reactions.

Edit: Nitrous Oxide is not exothermic in humans, for the medicine or the fun. Its an NMDA receptor agonist.

Rust is commonly referred to oxidation on iron, uncommonly to oxidation on other metals. Never to non-metals.

Hydrogen, fully frozen, has been declared as a confusing metal..

I dunno 🤷

Except you aren't talking "frozen" hydrogen. You're talking "molten" hydrogen.

Even by your made up definitions, you're wrong.

I think hydrogen is arguably a metal but its 2/3 for not a metal depending on which definition you use.

450 Canadians drown every year, and only Doug Ford is brave enough to address this tragedy.

Hey, I wrote the post, I get to mention other states of matter at other temperatures as well.

Every person that died drank it before their death. Coincidence? I don't think so!

Sounds like you're describing hydrogen peroxide, as pairs of individual hydrogen and oxygen atoms don't exactly like to exist alone, so they pair up as H2O2
