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.

Thanks, sent me down on quite a rabbit hole on PFCs and cryogenics.

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!
They’re putting it in the stuff you drink!
Every single person that has died ingested it in some form.
Yea but the government won’t tell us
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.
And a 100% fatality rate. Everyone who touches it dies.
It’s really creepy. We should make a move to stop dihydrogen monoxide being interfering with our lives!
We could take it from people’s lives and environment, then bottle it and sell it back to them!
I heard it can be used as an ingredient of stuff handed to children on Halloween! Think of the children!!
Truly, DHMO is the Devil’s plaything. It’s worse than fentanyl!
I didn’t even know they tested for DHMO. I thought it was something they noticed was so prevalent at autopsy, they just assumed it was naturally present. It’s nice to see the awareness efforts have not been all for not.
Even worse, many people are addicted already at birth because their mother was addicted and had to keep taking it during pregnancy
Safe?! I live in a country with low awareness, although the rivers are full of it. Every time i take a shower i look literally like bleached afterwards!
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-.Hydroxic acid sounds more terrible in this context, yes. But what does that have to do with possible reactions of H2O?

Hydrogen Hydroxide
Water.
Specifically, water reacting as a base. When reacting as an acid its systematic name is Hydroxic Acid.
Oddly enough, water can be considered a molecule (H2O), or an ion group (H+ and OH-). Once I got that through my skull, the whole acid/base mess got much clearer.It is not reacting as an acid here, it is both at once.
And that was not even the point.
Hydroxic acidhydrohydroxic acidIf the anion ends in “ide”, the acid name is hydro___ic acid. So hydroxide becomes hydrohydroxic acid.

So, uhm… wanna cook?
Username almost checks out? IIRC Niels was a physicist, not a chemist.
Well, my grad school research used quantum mechanical calculations to predict physical properties of chemicals, so it fits for me ;)
Plus, as long as I have to teach first years the Bohr model, I figure chemistry can claim him as an honorary chemist. After all, what is chemistry but applied physics? Relevant xkcd: “Purity of the field”

Many drowning victims were found to have copious amount of dihydrogen monoxide in their lungs
Not just drowning victims. Many freshly dead persons will have Dihydrogen Monoxide in their system, including but not limited to their lungs. They try to keep it a secret. Doctors will usually not write it down outside of the mentioned drowning.
If the body decays, that’s a strong sign the person had the substance inside it at the time of death.
Why do they keep it a secret?
Big dihydrogen monoxide. Private dihydrogen monoxide companies made approx. $303 billion globally in 2022. This number doesn’t include governments selling this stuff too. No one tells you that on the low end this stuff kills 300,000 + people a year globally. Look-up in Google “HOH chemical”, and you’ll learn everything you need to know about dihydrogen monoxide.
I don’t need to Google anything because you used some big words to make me feel scared! I can now confidently say to people I did my research!
Damn, sounds like an incredibly dangerous chemical
I like how on Lemmy people just write entire essays in the comment sections of memes.
I like it, too. It feels like there’s actual thoughtfulness amongst the shitposting.
I guess that’s kind of the reason why ELI5 never took off here. People just explain things throughly in normal comments.
It is also a base! It’s fucked up that much!
Fuck me it’s the bisexual of solutions.
Probably why life can develop in it so easily
Every single person on Earth has died/will die after ingesting it.
Recently 5 Billionaires died due to overexposure. It is really dangerous
Instantly fatal!
At that dosage, in that short of time, absolutely.
And for years it’s literally falling from the sky. Why government allow it ? I’ve made my research and it’s seems chemtrails are actually made of dihydrogen monoxide!
It’s also highly addictive and humans develop such a strong dependency that withdrawal is fatal.
It also can have a fatal overdose effect!
Kids are ingesting it between classes!
_THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! _
For comparison - acid rain has a pH level of 4.
People: You should drink at least 2 lt of dihydrogen monoxid daily. Me: Are you stupid? Fish fuck in it!
Wait until you hear about sodium chloride, which is being put into our food, and is made out of a highly explosive material and a poisonous gas.
Not just a poisonous gas but a literal weapon of mass destruction
