Breaking news: Parents discover schools forcing children to consume a dangerous chemical compound called "dihydrogen monoxide" - which is literally just H₂O (water)!

The meme brilliantly mocks scientific illiteracy and chemophobia by presenting basic water with its technical chemical name to make it sound terrifying. And that pH of 7? Neutral as Switzerland in wartime, yet somehow portrayed as more dangerous than stomach acid!

This is the same energy as those Facebook posts warning that sodium chloride (table salt) is found in 100% of deadly tumors. Next they'll tell us that everyone who consumes dihydrogen monoxide eventually dies. Which is technically true... but might take 80+ years.
