I confess: I am addicted to Dihydrogen Monoxide

[anarch]

If I go a day without it, I feel like I'm gonna die. Do you think I should get help?


Here's some information about this potentially deadly chemical:

1. Be careful not to overdose on that stuff

like, if you were to take six or seven litres a day, that would probably be bad.

2. admitting your addiction is the first step

but you can't beat it alone. :hi:
I'm hooked too, but I've learned to control it :hi:

3. yes, replace 10% of your dihydrogen monoxide consumption

with hydroxyethane. If it gets worse, up it to 20%.

7. now that sounds like a plan

:thumbsup:

9. can't be too careful, you know

safety first!

4. Be careful.

I mean, you can actually drown in that stuff.

6. Chemical Plants Are Dumping It Into Our Rivers...

... and it's been known to cause vomiting and diarrhea. Many pesticides use it as one of the primary ingredients.

8. It's not "dihydrogen monoxide"

If you leave water hanging around you get a certain amount of

H₂O ? H⁺ + OH^-

…thus by convention we would name the substance by the ions, so it would properly be called "hydrogen hydroxide."

10. yeah, but the name of the linked site is

"dhmo.org", so I'm kinda stuck with it. It's not my fault! I didn't do it! I swear! Ya gotta believe me!!!

11. What are you? Some kind of anti-science evangelical Republican?

Heathen!

Don't let an uneducated and terror-stricken mob of fanatics railroad you into giving up your right to choose!

Support the use and distribution of hydrogen hydroxide in your neighborhood, city, state, and country!
