The Invisible Killer

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

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.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

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.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
 
Just a quick lesson, xYZ = x(YZ)
Everything in the bracket is multiplied by x :)
Completely wrong. 2HO is two HO molecules (which don't actually exist, as HO is the hydroxide ion), not two hydrogens attached to two oxygens.

2 H-O = H-O + H-O =/= H2-O2

Chemical equations (and formulae) are not the same as algebraic equations and as such you cannot apply certain rules of algebra to them, which is what you did.

No, I was right in the number of hydrogens and oxygens.
Of course they can't join like that, but the numbers are right.
2HO and H2O2 both have 2 Hydrogens and 2 Oxygens, whilst H2O has 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen.
I always hated balancing equations...
Good thing Chemistry is over and done with :D
 
pointless thread is pointless.

H2O = DiHydrogen Monoxide = water = stupid OP. ban water, ban life.
 
Oh, ho-ho-ho. One of the oldest Trolling tricks in the book. Sorry, Wyvern_64, you're not gonna fool me.
 
I think his grandma got onto his account and decided to post a chain e-mail to warn us all. :lol:

Welcome to 4chan, otherwise named GTPlanet!

Just a quick lesson..

xYZ = (x)YZ = (xY)Z = xZ(Y) etc.etc.etc.

Welcome to Algebra I, kiddo. I think I learned that when I was twelve. :lol:

Algebra, used in everyday trolling :)
Just goes to show how awesome it is :D
Also, (xY) Z = ZxYZ so xYZ(to the power of 2)...
You must have forgotten :D
 
First thing I thought when I saw this thread? "Not this 🤬 again."

A friend of mine told me it can also be called oxygen dihydride.
 
IUPAC nomenclature is Water or Oxidane.

Can we just ban you for trolling now? Or do we have to wait?
 
I know I've been tree'd, but...

I don't want to come off as a grouch to people who haven't seen this before, but I've grown bored and weary of it.
