Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!

[Souper]

Dihydrogen monoxide is a very dangerous chemical that:

is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.

contributes to the "greenhouse effect".

may cause severe burns.

contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.

accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.

may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.

has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

as an industrial solvent and coolant.

in nuclear power plants.

in the production of Styrofoam.

as a fire retardant.

in many forms of cruel animal research.

in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.

as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Its chemical formula, H20 (2 hydrogen atoms, 1 oxygen atom) is widely known, and its effect also widely known, however many disregard it as a perfectly safe chemical! This is an OUTRAGE!

Is it 1983 again?

H20

That's a lot of Hydrogen

[Bill Phil]

Hmm...

Well, everyone who breathes oxygen monoxide dies, so...

[astropapi1]

I've heard that some people who consume it on a daily basis may even get a serious case of the autisms!

This madness needs to be stopped at once.

[TheCanadianVendingMachine]

Hmm...

Well, everyone who breathes oxygen monoxide dies, so...

I want to see the chemical formula for that

OO1?

[Starwhip]

Down with it! Down with Dihydrogen Monoxide!

[Bill Phil]

I want to see the chemical formula for that

OO1?

Dioxygen sounded weird....

[NovaSilisko]

Everyone who has ever gotten any disease in human history has had this substance in their body. Why haven't we learned yet?!

[RAINCRAFTER]

So much of the stuff... Only one could imagine what would happen if one of the crowns got their hands on it.

[Majorjim!]

My 'so called' healthy mountain spring water is absolutely filled with the stuff! Why didn't I know about this before?!

[Thnd3r]

Hi my name's Thnd3r and I'm an addict. I can't get enough of Dihidrogen Monoxide. I NEED it!!!

i think I need help...

[Flymetothemun]

Oh no guys...

You see Hitler, in the centre with the glass? He's drinking a nice, tall glass filled to the brim with Dihydrogen Monoxide! You don't want to be like Hitler, do you?

Hi my name's Thnd3r and I'm an addict.

Speaking of addicts, it has been shown that many drug addicts, alcoholics, and criminals frequently consume the substance.

In addition, many athletes have been known to use it on the belief that it helps their performance.

[Newt]

I feel so guilty whenever I use it, but how can I not use it; the stuff is everywhere.

[Kryten]

We mustn't forgot that DHM is also both a lethal asphyxiant and a toxin. Truly a pernicious substance.

[PlonioFludrasco]

Dihydrogen monoxide has been found in rocket exausts!

[Flixxbeatz]

Yeah! Ban dihydrogen monoxide. Studies shown that 100% of the people who took it eventually dies.

[H2O.]

I really disagree with the ban...

[Felsmak]

This joke is older than trilobites.

[Nibb31]

Old joke is old.

[cicatrix]

Old joke is old.

This one is a worthy one. Speaking of DHM, I watched some kind of talk-show on TV where a bunch of 'smart experts' discussed GMO. Some nerd trolled them with DHM and it actually worked! One of them aggressively denied that the foods company he represented had ever used DHM in their stuff. This was quite hilarious.

[Flixxbeatz]

And then there's this one.

[MartGonzo]

Within ten years water will be a privately owned commodity and it isn't going to be you or your respective governments that own it.

isn't that funny?

[Pseudo Gold]

Dioxygen sounded weird....

That's actually the proper name for oxygen molecules, but everyone just calls it oxygen. Much like water is effectively always called water and not dihydrogen monoxide. Both are right, but one is easier to say.

A bigger worry is Ar. It seems to jam a lot in the 15 isotope.
