The DHMO Problem

Someone just showed this to me, and it really got me worried.

Thoughts?

It's worse than you think. Not only is our water increasingly contaminated, but we are wasting what "safe" water we have (and even that contains DHMO, there's no such thing as truly safe water any more) by tossing water bottles into landfills, with an average of an ounce of water still in them. At some point, all our "safe" water will be sequestered in landfills.

May be, peytros, I just stumbled upon it today.

Chaos, that's not the point. The fact that humanity keeps wasting (or ineffectively using) all sorts of resources is another story. Not to mention the bottled water phenomenon.

People believe this shit, sign petitions, take it personally. Most can't even figure out dehydro monoxide stands for water, ffs.

Edit: NM, I'm an idiot.

And I am now officially out of my depth in this field of study. Grade 9, don't fail me now.

Hahaha, yeah. Reminds me of Bonsai Kittens. I've gotten that petition in my email before.

And, to peytros, and several others here who do this, posting "shits old" in response to something you've seen before doesn't impress anyone with your incredible knowledge of internet memes; it's a completely useless, valueless comment. Also, you're missing an apostrophe. If you're going to be rude, at least do so with proper grammar, please. Otherwise I'll poison your water supply with dihydrogen monoxide.

[EDIT] Never mind. :)

Like I said... relying on my grade 9 science class here, which was.. fuck me, a long time ago :P

On another note, this is why google is better than relying on past public education :P

I feel youngish again. Although I liked the 500 yards of W-LAN cable that were for sale on ebay better (I cannot find it now, and it may have been even more of a total hoax, not even ever existing).

More proof for the DHMO conspiracy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c6HsiixFS8

Don't be careless, people!

I'm an idiot.

Wow, did xxcn fool Gavan on this?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

BTW, Gav did you know that "gullible" is NOT in the dictionary?

No, I actually thought that water was two oxygen atoms... Embarrasing, yes. Fooled, no. Was more of an aside to the issue being discussed anyway.

And Leebs, actually your wrong. I checked the dictionary and... ooh wait.

Joking :P

DHMO intoxication is serious business guys...

No seriously, it is.

Another problem is women's suffrage, good thing there are people working to stop that.

@ Proffesor Chaos
Thats way more creepy than it is funny, the bonsai kittens I mean. You know, with certain methods the human body's shape can be changed, a good example would be that of the Kayan people in Thailand. Hmmm, this is giving me ideas... I need a cat.

@LeberMac I didn't even try to fool anyone, see the video link in the original post :)

The Bonsai Kittens thing got me when I saw it a couple of months ago, I spent an hour googling the topic before I found out it's a hoax.

A colleague shared an even more disturbing rumor: according to him, Russian mafia guys like to have human pillows. They'd buy/abduct a woman from a distant village, amputate her arms and legs and use her as a cushion and/or a sex toy. People make up weird stuff, the problem is others believe it.
