The Chemistry Understanders have made a chart!

You know what is certainly pretty dangerous and comes with health risks? Fucking mining! So even if these crunchy fascists were right about the chemistry part, it shows they’re totally fine if someone else suffers long term health reprocussions

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

DHMO can cause asphyxiation if inhaled, and in its crystalline form, can cause your car’s tires to lose traction. It should be banned!

Um are we forgetting that DHMO has a 100% fatality rate after exposure? It can take a lot of years to manifest, but there’s never been a case of someone surviving after being exposed.

Everything and everyone that has come into contact with DHMO has died after ingesting it. We need to shut it down until we can figure out what’s going on.

DHMO asphyxiation is the leading cause of death amongst sailors in the US Navy. Support our troops and write to your senators to ban DHMO today!

I’m guessing alcohol related illnesses are way higher than drowning for navy guys.

I know it’s just a meme, but every time I see DHMO I think of heavy water.
