It blows my mind that anyone thinks that dihydrogen monoxide thing is funny. I’m against chemophobia or whatever it’s called, but the dumber person plays the trick.
Edit: this subreddit apparently has the combined intellectual capacity of one MAGA Republican’s left pinky.
Very intelligent people can like childish fart jokes and dad jokes. It has nothing to do with their intelligence; people just have opinions on humor. I don’t like scatological jokes, but I don’t try to define someone’s intelligence with it. That would be extremely stupid, as they are not related.
It’s not meant to genuinely trick people into thinking that water is bad, that’s obviously ridiculous even for the dumbest of people.
It’s meant to be explained afterwards for those who got genuinely caught. Experiencing a fear of some dangerous chemical only to discover it’s simply water is an illustrative example of how people misunderstand chemistry and chemical industry, and for some it might be eye-opening.
I don’t understand why idiots cannot admit that this is supposed to be an amusing exercise. It always has been and it has always been about superiority. Unearned superiority by worthless STEMbag dumbfucks who should be strapped into a rocket and fired directly into the sun.
Tricking your moral and intellectual superiors into thinking that a scary chemical is out there just to then reveal that it’s actually water is intellectual idiocy of the highest order. If bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfucks want to combat chemophobia, all you have to do is engage in education.
Let me be clear: I myself am not a big fan of “mock people and then pretend it’s about teaching them”. This is just being a scumbag.
But this is not meant to be that, or if it’s used by someone in this capacity, it’s a very poor laughing matter indeed.
It is good, however, as a conversation starter to bridge the gap. Meant not as mockery, but as an illustrative example to explain how we shouldn’t be afraid of “scary words chemists say”.
You can continue to pretend that this isn’t designed to amuse worthless pieces of shit who think that their moral and intellectual superiors are dumb for not recognizing chemical names, but it is a fact. It absolutely is meant to be amusing, because the alternative is being straightforward and advocating against chemophobia. Y’all sound like worthless whining reddit brained dumbfucks with dihydrogen monoxide. Pathetic, weak.
I find it extremely amusing (and intriguing) that you’re commenting so passionately about something so inconsequential.
It is a bit strange though. SUPER vitriolic. Like you fell for it as a child and were ruthlessly bullied for it or something.
Also, that shit existed long before reddit. It was used by one of my middle school teachers in the 90s to demonstrate how propaganda can work (along with the other thing). Seemed to work pretty well on the less science-minded kids. That’s a win for me.

It’s not supposed to be funny.
Yes it is and you know it is. The downvotes prove it. Only worthless pieces of dogshit think that trickery nonsense is amusing.
Do you really need someone to explain this to you?
Because it’s not meant to be amusing. But also, goddamn dude take a step back lol…
Anyway, it’s meant as an attempt to get through to ignorant people who genuinely believe that chemical = bad.
