Dihydrogen monoxide is pretty serious. It has been found in significant quantities in nearly every forensically analyzed death.

Yeah and it’s one of those forever chemicals we just can’t get rid of /s
Ate the onion.
Everyone I know who has died consumed dihydrogen monoxide. It’s a serious issue.
the OOP seems to know it seems like more of a r/wooosh than anything
The first tweet reads as satire
Yeah, I’m also siding with r/AteTheOnion here. That first post is too coherent with not enough spelling and grammar mistakes to be serious.
Though I’m sure the author is chuckling at the response.
The Havel guy is sarcasm deficient.
I mean the first tweet is clearly a joke
What position are you being asked to fill in the cabinet ?
Obvious satire in the first post. I don’t recall ever reading about “dihydrogen monoxide” in a non-sarcastic manner, not even in scientific articles.
I think this is more of a woosh than a clever comeback but you never can tell, eh?
ummm r/tookthebait?
Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
Contributes to soil erosion.
Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
Educate yourself on the dangers of [DHMO](https://www.dhmo.org/facts.html)
(Obviously /s because I can never be sure anymore)
Dihydrogen monoxide is linked to billions of dollars of property damage. It is also linked to corrosion of metal.
I would think it’s satire, except I have seen and heard people say this more or less this in complete earnest… It was after the graphic that circulated saying it was found in Subways, nuclear waste products, and those blue athletics mats.
There’s a joke that’s been circulating around Europe lately:
**Q:** “What borders on pure, unmitigated stupidity?”
**A:** “Mexico and Canada.”
I once saw a post that had a list of scientific words. The OP asked if anyone thought they were dangerous. Many said yes.
It was the chemical components of an apple.
Is it possible the original poster was joking?
whoosh
Very obvious satire from the first one
I just really like “You stupid bitch” as a comeback.
without context, I genuinely don’t know which of the people in OP is the idiot.
certainly the first post seems to be satire, but people are so damn stupid now it could be real…
The “antivax” guy was obviously joking
I love how the name-calling is accurate and seems right. That is a stupid bitch.
But then again, the reply goes down the drain as well.
What is the use of that verbal diarhea?
This ‘clever comeback’ is someone who doesn’t understand sarcasm. The first post is clearly making fun of antivaxxers and the reply clearly belongs in r/woooosh .
For my sanity I truly hope this is satire
That original post is written like satire. Probably because it is…but you never know I guess.
Pretty sure that person was trolling for exactly this response.
Someone really should do something about this dioxidene gas we’re breathing in and out all day long! It’s outrageous what the government is forcing into our lung!!
Why cover up the name?
Anyone that has ever ingested h2o has died.
This joke has been around since before the internet. Nothing new here.
I cannot with these people. Normal folks will say, “dihydrogen monoxide…I don’t know what that is” and then will LOOK IT UP before saying stupid shit. Not these geniuses. Or I dunno…di = two, mono = one…dihydrogen = two hydrogen, monoxide = one oxygen…oh it’s H2O so water. But I know I’m expecting WAY too much from someone who either failed HS chem or cheated their way through…
This is why science classes should be mandatory forever. The internet is not for everyone.
You guys don’t understand satire, huh?
have you ever heard of the mathematical constant digamma. Its really interesting and there are many expressions for it and it plays a fundamental role in group theory.
