ammonia reactivity

Found in nuclear reactors, too.

And if you freeze dihydrogen monoxide it turns out to be really slick.

Problem is, it's more of a pollutant than carbon dioxide - I mean, the very water we drink, even if purified and filtered, still has it in very high concentration.

I hear it's been found to be present in over 95% of cancerous tumors, too, but there's no carcinogen warning for it.

Found in nuclear reactors, too.

You guys are scaring me!    I'm going to hide in the basement.

Careful, there's dihydrogen monoxide vapor down there too.

The annual death toll from dihydrogen monoxide is truly staggering.

It has also been implicated as a greenhouse gas.

Plastic.

Yes, it's a metal.  The chemists have their conspiracies too.

But is metal a plastic?.... 

[Brad Johnson]

But is metal a plastic?.... 

A certain temperatures they can have similar qualities, yes.

very small amounts of liquid dhmo, if inhaled, can cause severe lung and airway irritation, with long term effects like aspiration pneumonia.  Larger quantities are nearly universally fatal if inhaled...  Yet it can be found nearly everywhere we go in some form or another. .

It is so bad for us that our bodies actively try to get rid of it.  We breath out more dihydrogen monoxide vapor than we breathe in.

Every living thing that has been exposed to dhmo eventually dies.

....and don't forget that laboratory mice that consumed an average human year's intake of this insidious chemical died nearly instantly.... 

[HankB]

Entire towns have been rendered uninhabitable by an excess of dhmo.

And yet it has incredible addictive properties as well . . . a person who's previously consumed dhmo,  if later completely cut off from it, can experience severe physical symptoms, up to and including death if denied a supply.

[BrokenPaw]

Entire towns have been rendered uninhabitable by an excess of dhmo.

That's certainly true; the press never even talks about how DHMO-related damage totally eclipsed all other forms of damage during Hurricane Katrina...

Inconel?

Inconel?

No, that isn't expensive enough.

If you first mix it with bleach, you can store it in just about anything !!!   

















 

j/k, please don't anyone do that......

[Brad Johnson]

Bleach and brake fluid make smoke.  Lots of smoke.

(seriously, but please don't anyone try that either!!)

My mother used to boil it up with chicken parts, noodles, vegetables, and some types of exotic herbs and spices like celery and parsley and what-not.

Weird, huh?

But apparently, this took out most of the poisons in DHMO and left just enough toxic stuff in it that it would kill cold germs.

Or so she said.

And yet despite all the dangers of this poison, I find my own strength, alertness, and reflexes growing the more I consume DHMO.  Am I some sort of mutant?

I'm not sure if this is classified, but I've heard rumors the US Military is experimenting with giving recruits regular treatments of DHMO in order to increase their abilities and stamina.  Any injury kind of suffered by any soldier is met with the suggestion to undergo another DHMO treatment.

Years and years ago I had a bunch of empty beer bottles in my sink attempting to get labels off them all so I could bottle up some home brew.

And like an idiot I was adding in random cleaners trying to get the crap off.  And then I started coughing.  Bad.

I hit the deck and stared reading labels cursing myself for not remembering enough of high school chem to figure out what I'd just done.  Figured it out later after I opened up all the windows.

Bleach + toilet bowl cleaner == Chlorine gas.

Yeah...ammonia and bleach do NOT get a long well. 

[GigaBuist]

That I knew.  The toilet bowl cleaner contained HCl, though, not NH3 (ammonia), but the end result is the same.

I used to put I pool chlorine tablet in a coffee can and cover with break fluid.
Smokes like crazy after a few min then a nice flame.
Don't know what that smoke is but it kills groundhogs and vegetation.

Just think of how powerful you'd become if you submerged yourself completely in it for an hour or two....
