Recent studies found this chemical in all of the human samples that were examined, implying widespread contamination of people's bodies. We are in deep water, folks.

Worryingly, examination of those recently deceased has found high levels of dihydrogen monoxide in their bodies, leading scientists to ponder whether every person who knowingly or unknowingly consumes this chemical will actually one day die.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

I've heard that it's so addictive that people who stop using it will die from withdrawal in a matter of days.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not unless there's a whole bunch of it, we're not. Although dyhydrogen monoxide does make up about 60 of a human, so for any individual person, you're correct.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

DHMO can cut a person into 60 pieces is what I take away from that statement, and that's yet another reason to keep this dangerous chemical under very strict lock and key. Won't someone think of the children?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Cut my life Into pieces...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Every day in the world 1000 people die by accident from inhaling dihydrogen monoxide in liquid form.

Do you hear about that in the mainstream news ? Of course not!

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's an extremely addictive chemical as well. You'll feel withdrawal symptoms after mere hours and going without for multiple days results in death!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I felt I needed more than 1L of DHMO after breakfast, I have been a habitual user for pretty much my whole life

It's there hope for me‽

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, I'm sorry. You only have years to live.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It depends, I have known people die just a few days or hours after drinking it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

If too much gets into your lungs it's lethal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Join ADHMO brother. There is 12 steps.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the kind of ground breaking studies that keeps S.H.I.T. a top tier institute

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I didn't even catch that one

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

This is the woke DEI future that the globalists want

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I heard somewhere that if you breath this stuff in its liquid form, you can die!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Everyone that has ingested it has eventually died

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Someone told me if you apply a little heat it just disappears! Leaves zero trace. What kind of freak invents this stuff

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Dihydrogen Monoxide

What is this woke liberal commie trash. Are you trying to summon a demon? Speak American!

Oxidane, hydric acid, hydroxylic acid, hydrohydroxic acid, hydroxic acid, hydroxoic acid, hydrol, μ-Oxidodihydrogen, oxygen dihydride, hydrogen hydroxide, aqua, neutral liquid... 🤷‍♂️

“Universal” Ha! Knew it you commie!

Finally, someone let me out of my cage. Time for me is nothing cuz I’m counting no age.

I think in America it's usually called hydric acid! 😨

My God... They look just like flakes of frozen water!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

You can't freeze water. Water is a liquid, frozen things are solid.

You're thinking of quartz.

Send this to Fox News! The MAGATs need to know about this substance. It would be amazing to hear a MAGA politician comment on the dangers of this substance and vow to eradicate it.

What does the T stand for (or is that a typo)?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

It makes it sound like maggots.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

I'm sure like 99.9% of us here get the joke, but the meme says water turns into ice when it freezes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It can also hold a plethora of other chemicals that make it highly conductive (nanobots!?) and even in its most pure form it contains acidic as well as basic components (sorcery!?).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nanobots‽

Sorcery‽

interrobang :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It's a fun symbol with a fun name but I'm not a fan because it removes the nuance of which symbol you put first. I use "!?" for exclamations where the speaker can hardly believe what they're saying themselves and "?!" for rhetorical or emotional questions.

  • Nanobots?
  • Sorcery?
  • Hotel?
  • Trivago

Do you think it's conspiracy theories that turn people gay and they're just trying to justify it so they can feel comfortable with their sexualities?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

This substance is a key ingredient in some energy drinks. All humans who have consumed these energy drinks develop a dependency to it, and have withdrawal symptoms up to and including death.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

*frogs naturally turn gay its a plot point Jurassic Park
