Fact: military officers sometimes use very small amounts of dihydrogen monoxide to torture prisoners to extent that the prisoners will admit to committing actions they had not committed.

People worry about microplastics getting everywhere, but what about dihydrogen monoxide? Nearly every autopsy shows that the victim had huge quantities of dihydrogen monoxide in their system.
Some people claim it's safe, but if it's so safe, why is it so critical that it not be allowed near electrical appliances and electronics?
And, nobody mentions how incredibly addictive it is. Virtually every person who starts taking dihydrogen monoxide is unable to quit and has to keep taking it for their entire lives. Anybody who goes cold turkey dies within days.
I heard it can be used as an ingredient of stuff handed to children on Halloween! Think of the children!!
Not to mention its so addictive that brings people in a state of daze and confusion till they actually believe it's good for they're health and they go spreading words such as "u should drink at least a liter and a half a day" we are gone so far that there are also biosynthesized or chemically engineered versions for bays and little kitties this society is awfull
Truly, DHMO is the Devil's plaything. It's worse than fentanyl!

They burned this stuff to power giant steam engines and we're supposed to believe it's totally healthy!?
They use this stuff in nuclear reactors, too. And then they just release it into the air!
At Fukushima, Zirconium-DHMO reactions produced an explosive gas that blew up 3 buildings!
This stuff is so aggressive, they can cut metal with it. ☠️
Especially when it's filled with rubies, which are known by medicine to cause severe digestive problems.
They're putting it in the stuff you drink!
Dihydrogen monoxide isn't a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense.
Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.
Neeeeeeeeeerd!
Got more interesting science stuff ?
Water is the most common substance that can be either an acid or a base (on earth), but lots of other compounds are also amphoteric.
In fact, on other planets where ammonia fills the same role as water, ammonia would be the most common amphoteric substance, so most solutions would be in a liquid ammonia solvent. This means neutral pH on those planets would substantially higher!
K_w is the auto dissociation constant for water, and at room temp, K_w is about 10^(-14). Taking the negative log of the square root of K_w gives the pH of pure water of about 7. The auto dissociation constant of ammonia, however, is about 10^(-30), so the pH of pure liquid ammonia is about 15! Basically, as soon as we start using solvents other than water, pH gets really funky
Edit: and before anyone jumps in to say "ack-shully, pH is based on the concentration of hydronium ions in solution, so you can't use pH for systems based on solvents other than water," pH can also be considered to be based on the protonated form of whatever the solvent is. So in an ammonia-based solution, you would find the pH by taking the negative log of ammonium instead of hydronium. Instead of defining pH as
pH = -log [H_3 O^(+)]
A more universal definition would be
pH = -log [H_2 A^(+)]
Where the auto dissociation reaction of any amphoteric solvent can be written as
HA + HA -> H_2 A^(+) + A^(-)
This is more detail than most people care about, but there's always lurking pedants on the Internet, so I thought I would leave a more detailed explanation
I knew that other planets had other chemicals as the most abondant substance on them but it being taking place of water is something i never knew. Perhaps, aliens are sipping ammonia based cola as we speak !
Care to explain the neutral PH thing ? I don't really understand it. Does it mean it's ammonia based liquids wan to stabilize to 15 PH or something like that.
Sorry if it sounds dumb, English isn't my native language and i wasn't really a science guy at school when kid. Now, everything fascinates me. I never was good with math but i saw its beauty in programming ( if we taught kids math by making games with it we'd have a whole generation of math lovers )
~~Hydroxic acid~~ hydrohydroxic acid
If the anion ends in "ide", the acid name is hydro___ic acid. So hydroxide becomes hydrohydroxic acid.

Hydroxic acid sounds more terrible in this context, yes. But what does that have to do with possible reactions of H2O?

DHMO pollutes our rivers, water supplies and our bodies. Everyone who has died has had some form of contact with DHMO, either as a pollutant within their body or in the environment. Some people even drink it because "scientists" say we "need" it to survive.
Many drowning victims were found to have copious amount of dihydrogen monoxide in their lungs
Not just drowning victims. Many freshly dead persons will have Dihydrogen Monoxide in their system, including but not limited to their lungs. They try to keep it a secret. Doctors will usually not write it down outside of the mentioned drowning.
If the body decays, that's a strong sign the person had the substance inside it at the time of death.

I like how on Lemmy people just write entire essays in the comment sections of memes.
I like it, too. It feels like there's actual thoughtfulness amongst the shitposting.
I guess that's kind of the reason why ELI5 never took off here. People just explain things throughly in normal comments.
Every single person on Earth has died/will die after ingesting it.
And for years it's literally falling from the sky. Why government allow it ? I've made my research and it's seems chemtrails are actually made of dihydrogen monoxide!
It's also highly addictive and humans develop such a strong dependency that withdrawal is fatal.

You definitely don't want this stuff to escape into the atmosphere.
Yes - it’s a very effective greenhouse gas!
100% of people who have consumed dihydrogen monoxide have died...
8 billions of people have and they’re alive
Those people are merely biding their time. I wish it were a joke.
For now. The poison sometimes takes 100 years to become effective.
Let's rephrase. Every person who has ever died has been found with a body composition of roughly TWO thirds entirely DHMO

People: You should drink at least 2 lt of dihydrogen monoxid daily. Me: Are you stupid? Fish fuck in it!

It is also a base! It’s fucked up that much!
Fuck me it’s the bisexual of solutions.
For comparison - acid rain has a pH level of 4.
Some people say if you heat it up above 100° c it evaporates and it can burn your children!
Wait until you hear about sodium chloride, which is being put into our food, and is made out of a highly explosive material and a poisonous gas.

Oh hey, I didn’t know it was geriatric meme day.
Drink some hydrogen hydroxide and your troubles will wash away.

I totally just wrote out the wording in a text and sent it to someone and they freaked out.
What that in? It's really acidic?
Bahahaha
Edit: I spelled it out for them and they still called me and asked what it was.
Two radio hosts got fired years ago after rasing awareness about dihydrogen monoxide.

I think it is a strong base with pOH of 7.
It's also a base although a weak one
smh i only drink acids that have a pH of 0!
chugs 1 M solution of hydrochloric acid
