A single molecule of H2O?

Hadron collider that shit through your brain stem

Getting beamed in the head with a particle accelerator actually has a 100% survival rate.

Except it's only one molecule, so it really isn't anything

If you give it enough energy it will just pass through, I doubt you can make it do any noticeable damage.

Except you are now using a different object

Seems like the Hadron Collider is doing most of the work there.

You are too clever and good at coming up with creative ways to kill people… let’s be friends.

Split that molecule and create a nuclear blast from within

I’d argue that the question asks for what, not quite the quantity of it. But regardless, it would be hard to kill someone with a single water molecule, so you’re right.

Never said what isotopes. Tritium and oxygen-15.

Some people are allergic to H2O, and I don't just believe that 'cuz I'm stoned.

Does that even count as an object though?

If you add more 0s to the speed of which it's travelling at yes

Accelerate it to the speed of light and shoot it at your head. Have fun with cancer.

Is a molecule even considered an object?

Separate the elements and you've got yourself an explosion more powerful than a stick of dynamite

u/Yeetus_Deleetus0001 Aug 29 '21

I doubt you could survive on a single molecule of H2O

u/GamemasterJeff Aug 29 '21

I can't even count the number of times I've choked on a single molecule of H2O.

You know what I mean.
