It blows my mind that anyone thinks that dihydrogen monoxide thing is funny. I’m against chemophobia or whatever it’s called, but the dumber person plays the trick.
It's not meant to genuinely trick people into thinking that water is bad, that's obviously ridiculous even for the dumbest of people.
It's meant to be explained afterwards for those who got genuinely caught. Experiencing a fear of some dangerous chemical only to discover it's simply water is an illustrative example of how people misunderstand chemistry and chemical industry, and for some it might be eye-opening.
It's not supposed to be funny.
Yes it is and you know it is. The downvotes prove it. Only worthless pieces of dogshit think that trickery nonsense is amusing.
Do you really need someone to explain this to you?
Because it's not meant to be amusing. But also, goddamn dude take a step back lol...
Anyway, it's meant as an attempt to get through to ignorant people who genuinely believe that chemical = bad.
You can continue to pretend that this isn’t designed to amuse worthless pieces of shit who think that their moral and intellectual superiors are dumb for not recognizing chemical names, but it is a fact. It absolutely is meant to be amusing, because the alternative is being straightforward and advocating against chemophobia. Y’all sound like worthless whining reddit brained dumbfucks with dihydrogen monoxide. Pathetic, weak.
