That’s actually an interesting one.

The ‘p’ could have a different meaning for a variety of languages. ‘Puissance’ in French, ‘Potenz’ in German, ‘potential’ or ‘power’ in English, ‘pondus’ or ‘potentia’ in Latin, or ‘Potens’ in Danish (probably the Danish one originally, since it was a Danish chemist who first introduced the measurement).

It’s very fun that because of the vagueness, various languages can have its meaning directly translated to their own.

It’s power of Hydrogen. We should’ve been using Watts to measure it this whole time.

I don’t get what the joke is
