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?

This is the woke DEI future that the globalists want

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.

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

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 2 hours ago

It makes it sound like maggots.

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

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 10 points 12 hours ago

Everyone that has ingested it has eventually died

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... 🤷‍♂️

Finally, someone let me out of my cage. Time for me is nothing cuz I’m counting no age.

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

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 61 points 1 day 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 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] el_bhm@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago

Join ADHMO brother. There is 12 steps.

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

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago

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

You're thinking of quartz.

[–] rasbora@lemm.ee 133 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] th3dogcow@lemmy.world 47 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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 27 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.

[–] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Cut my life Into pieces...

[–] Mighty_Appititey@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] spechter@lemmy.ml 7 points 19 hours ago

I didn't even catch that one

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 14 points 1 day 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 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Nanobots‽

Sorcery‽

interrobang :)

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 4 points 17 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.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 16 hours ago
  • Nanobots?
  • Sorcery?
  • Hotel?
  • Trivago
[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day 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.

[–] tfed@infosec.exchange 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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