and stars are enacting the trans agenda to turn Hydrogen into Helium

Everytime I wake up in the morning, it's because the light of a star has made me woke. Coincidences? I THINK NOT!

That shit is going to blow up in all of our faces before it's all said and done, you mark my words.

We also know elements can't change to a different element through any kind of reaction or anything that would be absurd. I'm tired of these woke scientists.

Alchemy started as a hastily invented way to disguise a piss-drinking fetish that got way way out of hand.

The people that need to understand this, will not understand this.

I'm just a Helium atom living in a Hydrogen atoms universe.

It is UNUSUAL for an element to not be either hydrogen or helium. There is nothing wrong with it. It is simultaneously totally OK, an ABSOLUTE MINORITY position, and notably UNUSUAL considering statistical evaluation.

You can ascribe whatever meaning to that you want, but it is not a statistically typical position to be an element that is not hydrogen, not helium, and... Well... It's also pretty unusual to have extra neutrons or something and be BETWEEN hydrogen and helium.

Again, this is TOTALLY FINE. And it is accurate in other hypothetical contexts which are in no way being referenced here. These group sizes are still, of course, in no way the same.

It's not super uncommon to change from hydrogen to helium, but in other contexts... Yes it is. Still totally fine.

Everybody is just getting along the best he/she/they can, but PEOPLE have rights, we don't need to argue for rights by common-washing. It ain't common.

Oh yes, the statistical mindset. Similarly, one could argue that for large integers, statistically there is no prime numbers.

Statistically, there are no small integers.

I have it on good authority there is a 5th element. I saw it in a documentary. It's ... perfect.
