    People making jokes about dihydrogen monoxide, and imma be honest, I feel like it should have been the gold standard internet stupidity filter that disqualifies your credentials in any form of discussion because of the insane amount of people that fell for it back when the internet was still new.

    If you couldn’t handle H2O, you can’t be trusted to use the internet seriously lol.

      I had a high school teacher my freshman year play the “dihydrogen monoxide” joke on our class. this was before i had any chemistry knowledge so i sadly fell for it. -It was still funny.
