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.
I've heard that it's so addictive that people who stop using it will die from withdrawal in a matter of days.
I'm sure like 99.9% of us here get the joke, but the meme says water turns into ice when it freezes.
That's the kind of ground breaking studies that keeps S.H.I.T. a top tier institute
My God... They look just like flakes of frozen water!
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!?).
Nanobots‽
Sorcery‽
interrobang :)
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
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!
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‽
No, I'm sorry. You only have years to live.
It depends, I have known people die just a few days or hours after drinking it
If too much gets into your lungs it's lethal.
Join ADHMO brother. There is 12 steps.
@fossilesque with Hydric Acid it may produce blistering vapors :blobcatterrified: when exposed to temperatures of >100° C
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.
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 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?
Only worthless pieces of dogshit think that trickery nonsense is amusing.
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.
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.
I don’t understand why idiots cannot admit that this is supposed to be an amusing exercise. It always has been and it has always been about superiority. Unearned superiority by worthless STEMbag dumbfucks who should be strapped into a rocket and fired directly into the sun.
Tricking your moral and intellectual superiors into thinking that a scary chemical is out there just to then reveal that it’s actually water is intellectual idiocy of the highest order. If bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfucks want to combat chemophobia, all you have to do is engage in education.
Let me be clear: I myself am not a big fan of "mock people and then pretend it's about teaching them". This is just being a scumbag.
But this is not meant to be that, or if it's used by someone in this capacity, it's a very poor laughing matter indeed.
It is good, however, as a conversation starter to bridge the gap. Meant not as mockery, but as an illustrative example to explain how we shouldn't be afraid of "scary words chemists say".
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 solvent.
“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.

*frogs naturally turn gay its a plot point Jurassic Park
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"
What does the T stand for (or is that a typo)?
It makes it sound like maggots.
I heard somewhere that if you breath this stuff in its liquid form, you can die!
Everyone that has ingested it has eventually died
Someone told me if you apply a little heat it just disappears! Leaves zero trace. What kind of freak invents this stuff
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?
