Scientists have shown that those who come in contact with dihydrogen monoxide have a 100% fatality rate. Every single person that has come in contact with it dies.

It's in all the food you eat! Big Food lobbies to protect their profits by using it in food production!

The real tragedy is the pollution. While there are areas of the world that are generally safe from dihydrogen monoxide in the environment, in my area there are literally rivers of the stuff with regular exposure to the air we breath.

It's also extremely prevalent in areas of high humidity, further compounding sweaty asscrack syndrome.

Swamp-ass is real - raise awareness!

In all major US cities since the 1970's that have a river in the downtown area, the percentage concentration of dihydrogen monoxide has been increasing! We keep finding more and more of it in parts per million in our river water. At what point will someone in our government stand up for us and say this is enough?!?

The problem is that dihydrogen monoxide has thousands of industrial and commercial uses. You'd be shocked at how many product from manufacturing all the way to food processing use the stuff at some point in their process.

It's like 99.8% fatality ATM.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

There is a latency period. Anyone exposed has been shown to die at a 100% rate.

I mean, yeah, but that's just how things work out in everything.
