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‽

[–] Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

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

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Join ADHMO brother. There is 12 steps.

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

[–] spechter@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

I didn't even catch that one

[–] choab@discuss.online 28 points 1 month ago

This is the woke DEI future that the globalists want

[–] untakenusername@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 19 points 1 month ago

Everyone that has ingested it has eventually died

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Someone told me if you apply a little heat it just disappears! Leaves zero trace. What kind of freak invents this stuff

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Dihydrogen Monoxide

What is this woke liberal commie trash. Are you trying to summon a demon? Speak American!

“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.

[–] Eiren@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

I think in America it's usually called hydric acid! 😨

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago

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

You're thinking of quartz.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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"

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What does the T stand for (or is that a typo)?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

It makes it sound like maggots.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 16 points 1 month ago (1 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!?).

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nanobots‽

Sorcery‽

interrobang :)

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 6 points 1 month 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.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago
  • Nanobots?
  • Sorcery?
  • Hotel?
  • Trivago

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?

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month 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.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

*frogs naturally turn gay its a plot point Jurassic Park
