>hydrogen =hydro + gen = make water
>nitrogen = nitro + gen = make explosion
>oxygen = oxy + gen = make fire
>carbon = carbo + gen = make coal
Thinking of it this way really makes it make more sense, like we are crafting items in a video game
>1 water-essence + 2 fire-essence = potion of water
>2 bomb-essence + 1 fire-essence = bomb of confusion
>2 coal-essence + 1 fire-essence + 6 water-essence = potion of charisma

Yes the people who named the elements named them because they do things like that.

Inb4 some pothead drops in and says "DUDE it's a simulation bro lmoa"

Yeah, when a lot of these things were named people did chemistry mostly through vibes. Interesting historically but we have more rigorous methods now.

Fun fact: chlorine based cleaning solutions were invented by alchemists under the rationale of miasma theory. We make fun of the hospitals that were burning incense diring the black plague but there were other hospitals that were scrubbing everything with chlorine.

Busted! To fit the pattern it should make painkillers.

dude, it's just like in a simulation lmao.
i actually read somewhere that the physic scientists have a theory that we live in a computer simulation programmed by aliens. That would explain all the weird constants and infinities I guess. Wouldn't the aliens also be god then? Science is just so cool bro
