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

    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.

          We could take it from people’s lives and environment, then bottle it and sell it back to them!

      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

    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-.

          I knew that other planets had other chemicals as the most abondant substance on them but it being replacing water is something i never knew. Perhaps, aliens are sipping ammonia based cola as we speak !

          Care to explain the neutral PH thing ? I don’t really understand it. Does it mean ammonia based liquids wan to stabilize to 15 PH or something like that.

          Sorry if it sounds dumb, English isn’t my native language and i wasn’t really a science guy at school when kid. Now, everything fascinates me. I never was good with math but i saw its beauty in programming ( if we taught kids math by making games with it we’d have a whole generation of math lovers )

              Thanks a lot for you explanation !

              I knew water have a pH of 7 and is neutral and after reading your response i very very vaguely remember our teacher telling explaining what pH meant in middle school but a reminder was definitely needed. The rest is extremely interesting so Again, a huge thank you !!!

              I’ll likely go read about chemistry for dummies because i feel a bit ashamed of my limited knowledge with basic chemistry.

                  Thanks for the books recommendation. Where i live, I don’t think there’s any way to learn chemistry at a school other than going to middle school again, which I doubt I’d be even allowed.

                  There’s probably a book or an app that can teach the basics of chemistry. Most people i know are so illiterate about chemistry that they mix household products and create toxic gases.

    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.

    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.

          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.
