Liquid water – made from two types of gas. Makes no sense to me, whatsoever. Water seems to be one of the strangest substances and we completely take it for granted that, apparently, it’s made of gas!

Gas is just a phase of matter. Hydrogen and oxygen are both solid at certain temperatures and pressures, then liquid, then gas. It’s just that the liquid and solid phases aren’t something you normally come in contact with. But if you’ve ever seen an orbital rocket launch, you’ve seen a tank full of liquid oxygen, and possibly liquid hydrogen (Shuttle and SLS for example).
Then when they join to create H2O, the resulting molecule has completely different chemical properties than either, so its temperatures for the three phases change.
Hydrogen and oxygen are gaseous in room temperature, but they are not gasses, they are elements that have liquid forms as well. When combined into a H2O molecule their properties change, quite significantly, one of which is that water is liquid in room temperature and normal pressure.

There’s no how can it be. It just factually is. That’s all there is to it. That’s literally what water is.

Like the other guy said, it just depends on the substance’s properties, there is also water as a gas, water vapor, and water as a solid, ice, it’s just that at the temperatures we’re usually in it’s a liquid, same thing with its components, liquid and solid hydrogen and oxigen, thing is you won’t see those unless you’re at extreme temperatures.
Once these two elements form a water molecule their properties change and now they have different boiling and freezing points, and it just happens that at our usual temperatures water is liquid.
