Dihydrogen monoxide can cause severe burns to skin and tissue in the gaseous form,
and it can cause tissue damage in solid form.
Dihydrogen monoxide is also found in excessive amount in excised tumours.

gv ur comments about it. i'll reveal the answer later.

isn't this like water?

Dihidrogen -> H2
Monoxide -> O

H2O should be banned?

What is your point here, exactly?

edit:

no, sociology/psychology tag not found. so


What is your point here, exactly?

this is just to test the chemistry knowledge. wanna know the result if this question is released to general public.

dihydrogen monoxide is a hoax?

DHMO? or H2O? Dihydrogen monoxide. (Two hydrogen molecules bonded to one oxygen)

It's plain old water! DUH! Why would yu want to ban it? We are dependent on it for Christ sake!

p.s: Is there something wrong with Thread Starter or izit me? HUH?!

not strictly, that why i was looking for the psychology tag in case i got tarped.

as for the tag, i also dunno wat to put.

i got this when i was attending a seminar, guess what, many ppl agree that dihydrogen monoxide should be banned.

I did the poll and there's one fella that voted it should be banned?! OMFG!!!
How did the fella survive all this while???!!!

This is absurd! Or just plain ignorance? Or stupidity?

Regards, Joey

this is called subtle trolling in internet terms.

if u tag as PSYCH, we can discuss here

if u tag as CHEM then this should go to jokes heaven.

Motion is seconded! Joey~~~

p.s: I think the unrecognised killer is still on rampage! Even today! OMG!!! Science can be cruel at times! MUAHAHAHA~~~

cant it be phsychology + chem?

i'm laughing when looking at the result.
or u guys just play a joke on me?

obviously he talking bout chemistry.

for psych discussion sake,

it goes to show how powerful a little obfuscation can do to create fear of the seemingly unknown.

no doubt, not everyone knows what the DHMO or even H2O is... and people do fear the unknown especially if its EVERYWHERE.

It's been years I've known the fact of Dihydrogen Monoxide...since in the 90s! What are the kids learning these days in school??!!

Thank yu LYN for introducing "The Science Lab". Joey~~~

p.s: I appreciate Thread Starter for starting off with a Dihydrogen Monoxide thread. Anyway, on a short note, I felt sorry for the chemophobic people. MUAHAHAHA~~~

It's just water.

Seriously,whats the point of this thread?
