The Daily Science Minute!
I was just thinking about something, and scared myself very badly.
I was doing some reading, and found out that water? Sneaky little bastard. It's all explosive and accelerant! Just push a bit of electricity through it, and it breaks right down like a gourmand trying to resist one wafer-thin mint.
And then...woo, you have trouble. Because that molecular hydrogen...that's the stuff of nightmares. You may have heard of the Hindenburg. That...was hydrogen's work.
But sneakily, all around, oxygen was making it worse. Feeding the fire, feeling the burn, and turning it into a raging inferno!
And we're all walking around carrying this stuff in containers on our hips and backpacks. It's madness, I say!
We need to stop using electricity, immediately. We need water for life, but electricity and water should never be used in the same place, obviously.
Imagine! Imagine using this stuff to, I dunno, cool nuclear power plants? They're FULL of electricity, it's what we make 'em for. And we're using WATER to cool them?
No wonder Chernobyl happened. We're a race of insane creatures.
END WATER AND ELECTRICITY DEPENDENCY NOW! REFUSE THE JUICE! Use ICE to cool the reactors. That should work. They're all pretty absorbent-looking.
This has been your Daily Science Minute.

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social And don't be fooled by the friendly-sounding brand, water, that they have put on this dangerous chemical, more accurately known as dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO). Here is a link outlining this dangerous and relatively unregulated chemical. (Happy to see that their web site is modernized.) https://dhmo.org/faq.html
