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.

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.

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?

Cut my life Into pieces...

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.

[–] Echinoderm@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] Mighty_Appititey@lemmy.world 0 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 0 points 18 hours ago

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

You're thinking of quartz.

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!?).

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Nanobots‽

Sorcery‽

interrobang :)

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 0 points 10 hours 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.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 19 hours 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!

[–] psud@aussie.zone 0 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours 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‽

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 0 points 11 hours ago

Join ADHMO brother. There is 12 steps.

@fossilesque with Hydric Acid it may produce blistering vapors :blobcatterrified: when exposed to temperatures of >100° C

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 0 points 18 hours 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.

[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's not supposed to be funny.

[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 0 points 59 minutes ago

Yes it is and you know it is. The downvotes prove it. Only worthless pieces of dogshit think that trickery nonsense is amusing.

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 12 hours ago (3 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... 🤷‍♂️

*frogs naturally turn gay its a plot point Jurassic Park

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 0 points 9 hours ago

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.

"Everyone exposed to this molecular structure dies, there are no exceptions"

[–] choab@discuss.online 0 points 9 hours ago

This is the woke DEI future that the globalists want

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 0 points 5 hours ago

Everyone that has ingested it has eventually died
