The Honor Spren she/her Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Oh no! I live in Florida! I'm almost completely surrounded by this dangerous chemical, and there's a lot of it in the air too!! What can I do?! D: 1
navybrandt he/him Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 My favorite page on that website is the one where they talk about DHMO in the dairy industry. The letters from "Hoard's Dairyman" are hilarious.
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 http://www.dhmo.org/ I actually was fooled by this a few years ago, but now that I know more about it, it is hilarious. And it is all true, too!
navybrandt he/him Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) As someone who works in the nuclear ship building industry. I can confirm that DHMO is, in fact, used in nuclear reactors. Our ships have to be specially designed to operate in a DHMO environment. If the DHMO levels get too high though, the ship actually sinks! Edited July 13, 2015 by navybrandt 1
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Or when there is a breach in the hull... Easy leakage.
RippleGylf she/her Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I've heard that breathing in pure DHMO for just a few minutes can lead to death. 1
Delightful Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 ...yeah, you got me. I've tried kicking the habit, but it's just so hard man. Every day I need my fix, or I start going through withdrawl. My throat gets dry, my voice starts getting hoarse, and I get light-headed. I've been trying alternatives, like cow-juice, Liquid Bread, and the blood of the oranges, but nothing seems to cut it... Liquid bread?
Guest Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Liquid bread? Oh sí. I guess they don't ever say that in Australia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_bread
Delightful Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 LOL. Well I've definitely never heard that one before.
RippleGylf she/her Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 http://www.dhmo.org/ They showed us this website back in middle school, and one of the students confused it with carbon monoxide, a simple mistake to make.
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Whoops. Quite a difference there! Let's just say that I would prefer dihydrogen monoxide.
RippleGylf she/her Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 The funny thing was, she told the whole class how much she knew about dihydrogen monoxide and how lethal it was. And then the teacher just says, "You know, it's water, right?" The lesson was on how to find trustworthy websites for research. 1
navybrandt he/him Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Not just websites but any "News" organization in any form of media. It's also important to differentiate between news and commentary.
