FACT: if you submerge a human in dihydrogen monoxide, they will die within minutes.

Fact: military officers sometimes use very small amounts of dihydrogen monoxide to torture prisoners to extent that the prisoners will admit to committing actions they had not committed.

Oxygenated liguids have entered the chat

They burned this stuff to power giant steam engines and we're supposed to believe it's totally healthy!?

They use this stuff in nuclear reactors, too. And then they just release it into the air!

At Fukushima, Zirconium-DHMO reactions produced an explosive gas that blew up 3 buildings!

People worry about microplastics getting everywhere, but what about dihydrogen monoxide? Nearly every autopsy shows that the victim had huge quantities of dihydrogen monoxide in their system.

Some people claim it's safe, but if it's so safe, why is it so critical that it not be allowed near electrical appliances and electronics?

And, nobody mentions how incredibly addictive it is. Virtually every person who starts taking dihydrogen monoxide is unable to quit and has to keep taking it for their entire lives. Anybody who goes cold turkey dies within days.

I heard it can be used as an ingredient of stuff handed to children on Halloween! Think of the children!!

Thats dangerous! I will take it to my government (orban and comrades), to create a new hate/fear campaign! 🤣

Dihydrogen monoxide isn't a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense.
Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.

DHMO pollutes our rivers, water supplies and our bodies. Everyone who has died has had some form of contact with DHMO, either as a pollutant within their body or in the environment. Some people even drink it because "scientists" say we "need" it to survive.

I like how on Lemmy people just write entire essays in the comment sections of memes.
