100% of people consuming it have died. Eventually. That stuff is dangerous!

[–] Tja@programming.dev 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

False. I have consumed it and haven't died.

I might in the future, but haven't died as of today.

Yes, which doesn't make it true. The "have died eventually" applies to all participants in the battle of Trafalgar. Didn't immediately, but after some time. All dead now.

I've drunk water. I have not died.

Maybe. The fact is not everyone who consumed it has died.

[–] SW42@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes they did - unless you count vampires.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

I haven't, and I'm not a vampire.

[–] Iunnrais@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Mind your tenses. Will die, not have died.

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 5 points 2 days ago

This is not accurate, only 93% has died so far!

Trees also consume it and they can technically live forever

This has been done too much, I'd like to see a campaign to ban sodium chloride instead.

+1 Might as well ban saccharides while you're at it.

The author of the petition is really looking out for others by not using the unlucky number in the list and taking care of souls for centuries even after their body's gone

by signing this petition, the undersigned agrees and acknowledges that the creator of this petition has legal ownership of my soul for the remainder of my natural life plus 1000 years.

They forgot to add that it has the highest pH rating of any known acid.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I signed this years ago. It still hasn’t been banned???

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Most drowning victims lost their lifes in this stuff! It's dangerous at fuck.

Also one hydrogen is already volatile, just imagine what two of them do!

[–] Sequentialsilence@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Everyone knows dihydrogen monoxide is water, they’re not going to ban it. What we need to ban is hydric acid, that’s the most dangerous chemical in the world.

Just saw a post saying mamdani wants Arabic numerals taught in schools and boomers were going crazy over it so.... maybe not everyone..

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Forgot about americans. /kinda sorta sarcasm.

The world would be even better if we just do away with oxidane!

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Dihydrohen monoxide gave me dihydrohen monoxide tainted pee and my girlfriend died when she drank my pee.

[–] nooneescapesthelaw@mander.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Links gone :/

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

Finally someone is thinking about our children

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ever since high school chemistry, I've wondered if it would be more correct to refer to it as hydrogen hydroxide. Yes? No?

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Sounds like reduced hydrogen peroxide, I like it.

My high school teacher called it that!
