It has come to my attention that answering “How are you” with “not dead yet” may be alarming to some folks,

Why would anyone want to consume it!?

[etherealastraea]

I teach my 7th graders about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.

We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.

My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.

Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.

I. Fucking. Love. This.

This is how misinformation works. How propaganda works. How manipulation works.

may our education be stronger than fake news

[darthlenaplant]

Amen.

To those who don’t get it:

“Dihydrogen monoxide” is the chemical name for water, AKA H2O.

yup.  that’s a higher number alright.

I hate having a body, it’s so high maintenance! Shower this, eat that, drink this, sleep that, it’s all very stupid

[wombshaker]

I deserve reciprocated energy and effort, and I’m at a point in my life where settling for less than that crushes my soul. Regardless of how comfortable familiarity is, I deserve better. I’m more than an afterthought, I’m more than an option.

This belongs here, cause you guys get how important encryption is (and how long and hard someone was working on it) unfortunately, We’re the joke to gov’t here.

[autiebiographical]

The easiest way for me to show that I empathize with someone is to explain by using examples from my life. I feel like if I don’t prove to you that I understand then I’ll just be seen as shallow. Unfortunately others don’t realize that, and think that I’m super self-absorbed.
