    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.

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

      It was used in some Auschwitz showers instead of Zyklon B.

        Alright let’s stop it here.

        Btw there weren’t any gas showers, they were put into huge slaughterhouses that were then filled with Zyklon B.

        Idk where the myth of the shower comes from.

          Pretty much, yes but the slaughter houses were said to be shower areas and were sometimes even disguised in a manner (signs and fake shower heads).

          I loathe to link to Reddit, but askhistorians /u/commiespaceinvader is s legit source as Holocaust historian:

          They were told they were being given showers, and there were fake showerheads installed to continue the ruse. There were no pipes connected to the showers, the Nazis dropped canisters down chutes. The shower contrivance makes sense as a way to get them to strip “willingly” to get at any last valuables hidden in their clothes without having to bother with the bodies.

          I think the popular imagination goes to that scene in Schindlers List - the very tense scene where the Schindlerjuden get shipped to Auschwitz and we don’t know if they’re going to be killed or not.

          This is something we have to be careful when talking about - because all of those complicated discrepancies between memory and rumor are the muck Holocaust deniers like to throw everywhere. I found an online “uncensored Holocaust encyclopedia” on the first page of DuckDuckGo before I found this link.

          spoiler

          Guards told them they would be taking showers to get them to go willingly and remove their clothes (easier than doing it after they’re dead).

          Or so I’ve heard, anyway.

          Probably because that’s what some had been told they would be taking before entering the slaughterhouse; but just a guess, on my part.

        Pure DHMO is actually pretty inert. It’s only once you add ions of sodium (a highly reactive metal) and chlorine (a highly toxic gas) that it starts damaging metal.

    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.

      Where I live it does that so often that many people from the area are known to just go outside and walk in it with no extra protection or shielding. Crazy in my opinion.

    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.

    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
