Some people on this forum are worried about uranium shells while ignoring a real chemical problem: Dihydrogen Monoxide
Here are some scientfically proven or credible source confirmed facts.
-it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting,
-it is a major component in acid rain,
-accidental inhalation of it can kill you,
-it can cause severe burns when in gaseous form,
-it contributes to severe erosion of the natural landscape
-it decreases the effectiveness of automobile brakes
-it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.
-The military keeps large stores of it
-causes thousands of deaths each year
-Government and corporations use it as a coolant in nuclear reactors
This seems a largely ignored story to me. Do you think it should be banned? The answer I think is obvious.

Those in the know please remain silent.

As old as the hills and I think everyone knows by now.

Hey, its only fifteen and a half years old.

I give it to my kids everyday, the doctor said they would die without it.

Here we go again.

Not all know however grampus.

Yes, but General does.

Sorry then. But the point remains: when someone says keywords people can react however you want.

Older than some of the posters here then.

(I think)

Yes, but General does.
If everyone doesn't know, they should damn well be able to work it out. I mean come one, people, I bet you were taught about that bloody molecule in primary school! (5-11)

shit
i can't believe the government is using this stuff

man where does the chemical come from

how can I avoid it??

I am older than the story...by half a year. I probably killed all credibility I had but whatever.

Does anyone actually not know? If so say so in a non sarcastic way.

Yes, but General does.

Just think, if the dumbass aliens in Signs had been aware of this, they might have tried invading using biohazard suits. Or at least, CLOTHING. You think?

When I saw the title of this thread I knew instantly that you are a new poster.

Yeah sorry. Figured out it happened before...or I am just really stupid.

Maybe we should compile a list of buzzwords linked to new posters; Dihydrogen Monoxide, Evolution, Creationism, OMGLAWL, etc...

It could of course be a long-established poster flying a flag of convenience as they go about their business of meta-trolling.

Yes, but who could it be?

I'm sure there must be some people who haven't heard of it before. Try emailing friends. Maybe include sources like http://www.dhmo.org/

why is nobody taking this seriously? @_@

most people I talk to do not know what it is.

Because the issue has been done several times. It's old news, ergo we don't care right now.

Maybe it's a puppet of Banduria....

OH please Oh please let it be count d1ckula! :D

Something to do with the 34 (count 'em) threads which have appeared on Jolt in the last year debating or making mention of the tired old topic of dihydrogen monoxide, perchance?

old news!? dhmo.org says big companies PUMP this stuff into rivers! that's where we get our drinking water!!!

Megh, who wants to be 90 anyway?

Same place most municpalities dump their raw or treated sewage too. Mmmmmm!!!!

...and its loaded with DHMO...not to mention soggy buttwad, turds, urine, used condoms and dead goldfish.

what about your children? do you want them to be drinking dihydrogen monoxide?

most people I talk to do not know what it is.
you are talking to the wrong people then, I did a science project on this in elementary school. (that was 16 years ago) my dad thought it was hilarious, my teacher gave me a C because while it was a good effort, a joke isn't science.

my project was not about it so much as to see how many people I could get to sign a petition to make it illegal. It was more to prove the point that people don't care what they sign as long as they feel they "fit in"

I got 38 signatures in only 2 hours. nobody asked for more info, and only one person figured out what I was doing, and he was a chem teacher. ;)

Yes.

This has been posted several times. One of which being: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=438864&highlight=Dihydrogen

still funny, though.

"Hey guys...guys...I got an idea...Let's streak while we invade this planet! It'll be fun!"

you guys know what? The molecular angles formed in dihydrogen monoxide equal 105 degrees!!!!:headbang: :sniper:

Apart from the fact that has...absolutely no relevance, it's more like 104.5.

The flu causes thousands of deaths each year as well, it's not like anyone is going to be exposed to it while it's being used as a coolant in a nuclear reactor, and if they are, it's not going to be the Dihydrogen Monoxide that will kill them.

Dihydrogen monoxide? That stuff is nothing compared to hexacarbonduodecahydrogenhexoxide, to say nothing of amino-ethanoate (I'm a little rusty on chemistry, though, so I could be off a bit).

Shit, it's older than ME!

Pah. I've probably got overdue library books older than that.

Since Dihydrogen Monoxide was the the recommended name following official IUPAC nomenclature (albeit used by no-one serious) you're a bit off, but meh.

LOL, of course it is! I control j00 all! Mwahahahaha! ;)

i still like mine better:

ban abscorbic acid, on the grounds that consumption of unsafe amounts of the compound is unhealthy.

Yet you inject it into certain tumours and BANG! Tumour shrinky.

I love the stuff in my drinks, but only in small amounts and cooled down below 32 degrees.
