    Where I live, we have periodic episodes of this stuff raining down from the clouds (possibly due to natural chemtrails), and we have to stay indoors until it passes.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide can make your lungs shut down, killing you, and if gets into your blood it can cause your brain to swell, also killing you. Cancer, Coronavirus and Polio all thrive in environments rich in hydrogen monoxide. If a building’s foundations are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide it can lead to structural collapse, and it causes painful blistering and instant cell death if flesh is exposed to it in its gaseous form. Despite this, the food industry - clamouring for profits above all other considerations - uses dihydrogen monoxide throughout the food production process, meaning this dangerous chemical is present in almost all processed foods.

    Its also a waste product from many industrial processes and can remain stable in the environment for millions of years!

    It’s considered by chemists to be a universal solvent. It’s more acidic than bleach. And they want this stuff in our tap water!

    You know the Grand Canyon? It was created due to Dihydrogen Monoxide destroying rocks. Imagine what it would do to your body.

    The joke

    We’re talking about water.

    As a normie subscriber to here I only know this off hand from a skit where college kids were collecting signatures to ban it. It was all factual statements just presented to be scary. They told them it was water after a bit and it was a good laugh.

    Made me think Dihydrogen H2 monoxide O

    I found it entertaining but it taught me not to jump to conclusions and educate myself before making a decision.

    I’ve personally seen a strong correlation between ingesting DMHO and autism. This is why I only give my children mashed potato mix now.

    A lot of eye-opening info here

    Hydroxyl acid? That sounds even more dangerous than hydrogen hydroxide, which is a notoriously dangerous base!
