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.
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
I didn't even know they tested for DHMO. I thought it was something they noticed was so prevalent at autopsy, they just assumed it was naturally present. It's nice to see the awareness efforts have not been all for not.
Safe?! I live in a country with low awareness, although the rivers are full of it. Every time i take a shower i look literally like bleached afterwards!
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-.
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
Hydrogen Hydroxide
Water.
Specifically, water reacting as a base. When reacting as an acid its systematic name is Hydroxic Acid.
Oddly enough, water can be considered a molecule (H2O), or an ion group (H+ and OH-). Once I got that through my skull, the whole acid/base mess got much clearer.
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.
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.
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!
yeah but have you felt overwhelming pain and suffering when you throw up and its acidic and burns everything leaving you with physical and mental trauma due to the unbelievably painful moment your body produced? yeah that's worse
This joke was barely passable when we were 12yr olds telling it on the school. How the fuck a bunch of adults just upvoted this meme I cannot begin to fathom...
Bro it's not that they're easy to comprehend, it's that they're tired, stale, and trite. Peak boomer humor.
Come on man, do you really want to see "new hip kid on the block" lemmy immediately leapfrog over reddit and dive straight into becoming Facebook memes?
A full one third of the population of the United States cannot name even one branch of government, only 26% can name all three. The meme still works because people are still dumb and you can easily make fun of them over the stuff we knew when we were 12.
