    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?

    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.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide

    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!

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

      You’re thinking of quartz.

    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.

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

      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?

    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!?).

        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.

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

    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 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.

          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.
