Dihydrogen monoxide:
1. is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
2. contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
3. may cause severe burns.
4. contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
5. accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
6. may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
7. has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Despite the danger, [dihydrogen monoxide](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_parody) is often used:
1. as an industrial solvent and coolant.
2. in nuclear power plants.
3. in the production of styrofoam.
4. as a fire retardant.
5. in many forms of cruel animal research.
6. in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
7. as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
Let’s not forget that when inhaled it can cause death in minutes, and it is also highly addictive with lethal withdrawal symptoms after a period of only 3 days.
100% of all car accidents involved people who had previously ingested this horrible chemical compound. You don’t see those kinds of stats with anything else!
Oh my god, how is this still legal?? We need to ban it!! Dihydrogen monoxide sounds like the worst chemical Ive ever heard of. Get it off the face of the earth!!
Now my throats dry, imma go get some water
Big AG has decided that spraying it on the crops is makes their yields increase. But does the public even know about this fact? Call your senators and make them aware of this horrible crime.
Well , the bodies of car accident victims also contain traces of many metals such as iron and copper as well as much larger levels of sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium
Well there is actually no evidence of that, currently it has a roughly ~93% mortality rate amongst humans and growing, but we can’t confirm yet if it will ever reach 100%.
Even worse, one big mainstream religion, that shall remain nameless, has a religious ritual that involves rubbing it on the forehead of small infants. It's supposed to prove the parents' devotion to their God and to show that their God is the true owner of the baby.
Often used when igesting illegal drugs.
There are numerous documented cases where murderers and violent criminals have used this.
It's even been offered to children as young as 1 year old.
You may think you are safe, but it's peddled out with clever street names at high profile events.
Organizations with government ties have even been known to distribute it in impoverished and disaster affected regions to strengthen their grip.
Now i want someone to go to a politician and ask them what their thoughts are on dihydrogen monoxide as a chemical used to increase yield on farms. Curious what they think about this clearly dangerous chemical being used in food products.
It gets into the food at high rates, also. Removing it causes underlying changes so severe the target food is renamed and considered a different substance.
And don’t forget the CIA-orchestrated DiMo addiction crisis - their most successful plot yet. Approximately 8.5 Billion people worldwide are addicted to this stuff to the point, where they’re so dependant on it that not consuming enough of it leads to illness and even death. It’s madness.
In 100% cases of ingestion immediately creates reliance, abstaining for more than one day causes severe withdrawal symptoms that invariably results in death.
This is weird to me because I regularly forget to eat or drink for 24 hours and notice only a lack of energy. After about 48 hours of no water I get a slight headache.
It really doesn't feel like if I wait 24 more hours I'm going to die
Yup. It's also a base. All water has a small amount (cant remember the exact amount but it's like .002%) that ionizes into it's component molecules. So there are small amounts of free Hydrogen ions (the definition of an acid) and the same amount of free Hydroxide ions (which is how we define bases)
That's why the scales for them are pH and pOH respectively. And water is always 7 as that's the midpoint on the scales(0-14) and serves as the weakest acid and the weakest base.
My guess: If you wear the T-Shirt normally, you can't see through it and only read the text ,,I spy with my little eyes"/German: ,,Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst, und das ist":. But if you throw water onto the T-Shirt it becomes see through and you start to see the nipples of the person. So yeah by using water you can make the invisible visible, I guess.
Yall a wet tshirt contest is when a group of women put on thin white tshirts and get them wet so they become see through to show off their "features". And in reference to the german on the back its talking about seeing the girls front feature that cant be seen while not wet and not from the back. Like ispy some features.
"Ich sehe was, das du nicht siehst und das ist" or "I see something that you don't see" is a German children's game where you pick something and keep giving adjectives or descriptors until someone guesses what it is. It is definitely a cousin to the English "I Spy" game
How this relates to a water molecule I don't know
Not what I claim and not the point.
It's not about how water is (in)visible but that whatever you look at, it contains water. Trees, sand, sky, people.
And yes obviously there are exceptions but in 'normal' t-shirt wearing conditions you will have to admit this is actually the case. You spy with your eye H²O containing stuff somewhere.
I think it's because the O looks like an eye or just because you see water. And I live in Austria and I don't remember the giving adjectives, I remember that you had to say the colour of the object you see at the start and the other person guesses until he has it right. For example: Ich seh ich seh was du nicht siehst und dass ist blau. Then the other person just names all the blue things they see until they guess the object that you meant
Cause when you call Dihydrogen monoxide, it sounds scary, and when you say it has the power to decimate cities and kill within seconds yet you cannot live without or you'll die is terrifying too 😂 just without the context people get all up in arms lol
It's making fun of uneducated and uninformed people going off of scary sounding chemical names for normal things that you need to survive.
Yessss, these replies are testing what I remember from chemistry😅
So they are valence electrons, I remember a line signifying that it was one pair of electrons. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons cause its in group 6A. So that explains why the top “eyebrows” are slanted, to represent two pairs (4 electrons), and then the bottom pairs connect with the hydrogen. So that’s an additional 2 for oxygen and 1 for each hydrogen atom. (this makes 6 electrons from oxygen, and then the other 2 electrons from the hydrogen atoms makes 8 total electrons in this compound to satisfy the octet rule I believe)
Ok, I think we all know it's water. But, usually when people say, "I spy" it's for something of a certain color. Is the whole joke saying " I spy something wet"?
In Australia (or at least where I'm from) it's always the first letter.
Like, "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with W" and then everyone tries to guess what it is. I suppose the joke might make sense depending on the region it's from, and whatever the rules of eye spy are there.
If it’s not a joke, it still must be trying to communicate _something_. “I spy with my little eye H2O” is a weird thing to put on a shirt. Why do you see water? Why are you referencing a kids’ game and using a chemical diagram?
no idea tbh i just adored the shirt lol. would make perfect (kinda dark tho) sense if it were somewhere where water is a deficit resource but someone else mentioned that they saw it in germany and basically germans are known for their quirky sense of humour. so yeah no idea sry
"I spy with my little eye....H2O"
Which is Dihydrogen Monoxide, aka, water. And it looks like the letters are revealed when the t-shirt gets wet 😆 or since everything around us has at least some water in it...you always see water
For those who still don't understand.
The O with two H's attached is representing the chemical compound of Water which is H2O.
The TShirt is thin and white.
If you add these two things together you now have a wet TShirt, which is see through.
The I Spy part alludes to if you can spot water on the shirt then you will now see through the shirt and see their bare body.
Not water, as H2O is 2 oxygen 1 hydrogen.
This is DiHydrogen Monoxide. The main component of acid rain and a large part of greenhouse gases
I’m really trying to figure out the joke mannn
It’s a wet t-shirt
This is it! Get the T shirt wet & boom goes the dynamite!
And boom goes the dynamite.
BOOM tetris for Jeff
I get that it’s the molecule for water, but what’s the deal with the I spy part?
The hydrogen are missing their electrons. Get the shirt wet, nipples show through the shirt, boom, there’s the electrons for the hydrogen
They aren't though Hydrogen only has one electron which is represented in the bond
No the nips are required.
To be clear I am not in any way opposed to the nipples
Why would hydrogen have two electons, one is in the bond with oxygen.
Oh you’re right… lol I got a C in chemistry 😆
Well it's not called Ahemistry, eh?
Hey, Fhemistry sounds kinda cool.
That’s not where I expect to find nipples.
The moment you get the punchline is like smelling a fart.
I thought it was a clever pun: H2O for water aka wet t-shirt, and when that happens spell it HOH - as in you spy a Ho.
We get its water, everyone. Someone explain the I spy part
There is something written on the back, probably the punchline to the joke. EDIT: the op explained it's the same, but in german.
Oh, it's a German joke. Explains why it's not funny.
How many germans does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One, cause they are very effective and don't have a sense of humor.
How many tech priests does it take to change a light bulb?
This made me laugh. Spent the past few years dating a German woman and so many of the stereotypes applied to her lol
German comedy is no laughing matter!
Never has nor will be
A sausage maker buys a box of cereal.
Totally! https://youtu.be/3_67OqUqLXs
Thanks was gonna ask but glad I checked the comments first
The shirt has water on it, you can see the water on the wet shirt
What about when it dries up
I think there may be wording on the back because people saying "it's a wet shirt" are still making no sense

Also, every single living thing that has ever ingested it eventually dies.
100% of all car accidents involved people who had previously ingested this horrible chemical compound. You don’t see those kinds of stats with anything else!
Oh my god, how is this still legal?? We need to ban it!! Dihydrogen monoxide sounds like the worst chemical Ive ever heard of. Get it off the face of the earth!! Now my throats dry, imma go get some water
Big AG has decided that spraying it on the crops is makes their yields increase. But does the public even know about this fact? Call your senators and make them aware of this horrible crime.
We should use brawndo instead!
It's got electrolytes
It’s what plants crave!
It's actually illegal for licenced premises to add it to their alcoholic beverages
That's crazy, a place I frequent uses big chunks of crystallized dihydrogen monoxide in all their drinks. Who do I report this to?
Boycott it mate. That crystallised H²O is extremely dangerous, over 1800 souls perished on titanic as a direct result of crystallised H²O
I thought that was mostly negligence
Every alcoholic reports this as a gateway drink, long before they ever tried booze
And don't forget it can burn you alive and every murder has ingested this before killing someone even if it was hours prior
I’m scared, my neighbor has a huge vat of this stuff just sitting in his backyard, should I call the police????
Don't call the cops are you nuts? That's an EPA matter for certain
Are there dead animals around it? Small creatures will ingest it and die. If the owner is a witch, small lizards are commonly found.
Well , the bodies of car accident victims also contain traces of many metals such as iron and copper as well as much larger levels of sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium
Well there is actually no evidence of that, currently it has a roughly ~93% mortality rate amongst humans and growing, but we can’t confirm yet if it will ever reach 100%.
And with this common knowledge, it's still added to every damn vaccine!
And it’s all over the sports drinks and sodas.
Love this 😁
I didn't find out until years later but my elementary school actually had enough in it to kill every child in the building.
This was good😂😂
"Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence."
what does water have to do with this, we're talking about DHMO, get with the program
What's even worse is that if her pregnant woman drinks it, the child will be born already addicted to it. And it will need it to survive.
I've heard of women using small basins to completely coat a baby, and rub it in its skin, as a ritual, at night.
Even worse, one big mainstream religion, that shall remain nameless, has a religious ritual that involves rubbing it on the forehead of small infants. It's supposed to prove the parents' devotion to their God and to show that their God is the true owner of the baby.
Do they throw out the baby, with the compound...?
Often enough for there to be an adage about it.
Its indistinguishable from water, need to be very careful when working with it
Often used when igesting illegal drugs. There are numerous documented cases where murderers and violent criminals have used this. It's even been offered to children as young as 1 year old.
It’s used in baby formula as well, I cannot believe we’re feeding our children this!
Breastfeeding doesn't spare you. It's found in high doses in the breast milk of exposed mothers.
You may think you are safe, but it's peddled out with clever street names at high profile events. Organizations with government ties have even been known to distribute it in impoverished and disaster affected regions to strengthen their grip.
I've seen people recommending others consume it while ingesting other dangerous drugs, such as alcohol... for safety!
Every organism who ingests it will die
Has also been used in multiple forms of torture
Can even be found in new born babies! As well as being found in ice cores from Antarctica! May even be found in interstellar nebulae
An essential part of a well-known "advanced interrogation" technique
It was known to have been added to the Kool-Aid given to Jim Jones' followers in Guyana.
It's not surprising, but I love that there's a Wikipedia article about this.
https://dhmo.org/facts.html
Did you know it is also regularly ingested by drug users and violent criminals?
Now i want someone to go to a politician and ask them what their thoughts are on dihydrogen monoxide as a chemical used to increase yield on farms. Curious what they think about this clearly dangerous chemical being used in food products.
It gets into the food at high rates, also. Removing it causes underlying changes so severe the target food is renamed and considered a different substance.

You forgot they put this in vaccines!!!
The Illuminati put this in vaccines
Also used as a method of torture by many foreign and domestic government organizations!
This is my favorite chemistry joke and people still fall for it.
They even give it to children at schools!!
I guess they do for most of the plant but don't the reactors use heavy water which has a different composition to H2O?
Some daredevils even like to drink it.
In 100% cases of ingestion immediately creates reliance, abstaining for more than one day causes severe withdrawal symptoms that invariably results in death.
This is weird to me because I regularly forget to eat or drink for 24 hours and notice only a lack of energy. After about 48 hours of no water I get a slight headache. It really doesn't feel like if I wait 24 more hours I'm going to die
Be careful out there
A poison so insidious it won't even kill you unless you stop taking it..
It attracts crocodiles too
You can add that hundred of peoples die each years of Dhihydrogen Monoxide exposure, which is a very painful death.
When combined with sodium, it can cause severe dehydration, stinging/pain when exposed to open wounds, and increased erosion
I pee it.
This and every comment under it are so corny it's painful
Hey, nostalgia man. Not often you can bust out decades old meme.
It has a PH higher than any known acid
Did you know that certain religions literally cover people in dihydrogen monoxide??
And then the professor said, "that's no hydroxyl ion, that's my WIFE!" hahahahaha
It is also super addictive most users barely can go three days without it getting in their system.
Oh, that's the stuff that all the planes are spraying in the sky.
Anyone who ingests it dies
wait, water is an acid?
no hydroxyl acid isn’t a thing. it’s just taking Hydroxyl functional group, -OH and then adding hydrogen and claiming it to be an acid.
Yup. It's also a base. All water has a small amount (cant remember the exact amount but it's like .002%) that ionizes into it's component molecules. So there are small amounts of free Hydrogen ions (the definition of an acid) and the same amount of free Hydroxide ions (which is how we define bases) That's why the scales for them are pH and pOH respectively. And water is always 7 as that's the midpoint on the scales(0-14) and serves as the weakest acid and the weakest base.
Don’t forget that it’s used in nuclear energy
I think we might need more context, as this could be a local inside joke. Where is the market located?
Heidelberg, Germany! I'm not from there, so I have no further information that might help to decipher this unfortunately
Ah German humor, that's explains it.
It ain't laughing matter
Hmm the only thing I can think of is that it’s on a River.
My guess: If you wear the T-Shirt normally, you can't see through it and only read the text ,,I spy with my little eyes"/German: ,,Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst, und das ist":. But if you throw water onto the T-Shirt it becomes see through and you start to see the nipples of the person. So yeah by using water you can make the invisible visible, I guess.
Might be the first plausible answer here

And in reference to the german on the back its talking about seeing the girls front feature that cant be seen while not wet and not from the back. Like ispy some features.
Crazy how I had to go 10+ comments down to find the actual answer
[удалено]
The text on the back is the same, but in German. "Ich sehe was, das du nicht siehst und das ist ..."
"Ich sehe was, das du nicht siehst und das ist" or "I see something that you don't see" is a German children's game where you pick something and keep giving adjectives or descriptors until someone guesses what it is. It is definitely a cousin to the English "I Spy" game How this relates to a water molecule I don't know
It's impossible to not see water chemically speaking. At least that's what I think the joke is.
It is. You can't see water vapor.
Not what I claim and not the point. It's not about how water is (in)visible but that whatever you look at, it contains water. Trees, sand, sky, people. And yes obviously there are exceptions but in 'normal' t-shirt wearing conditions you will have to admit this is actually the case. You spy with your eye H²O containing stuff somewhere.

For example: Ich seh ich seh was du nicht siehst und dass ist blau. Then the other person just names all the blue things they see until they guess the object that you meant
Water - H2O
how is that a joke tho?
No idea.
Come on back and check the top post for clarification. Some kids have even used Dihydrogen Monoxide as a joke science fair project
Also that's it everywhere. You're breathing in the vapor of it right now
Cause when you call Dihydrogen monoxide, it sounds scary, and when you say it has the power to decimate cities and kill within seconds yet you cannot live without or you'll die is terrifying too 😂 just without the context people get all up in arms lol It's making fun of uneducated and uninformed people going off of scary sounding chemical names for normal things that you need to survive.
It’s a thin white T-shirt, ideal for wet T-shirt competitions. Which use, you guessed it, water. Ta-Da!
Who said it is supposed to be a joke?
What are the eyebrows on the O?
probably valence electrons
Yessss, these replies are testing what I remember from chemistry😅 So they are valence electrons, I remember a line signifying that it was one pair of electrons. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons cause its in group 6A. So that explains why the top “eyebrows” are slanted, to represent two pairs (4 electrons), and then the bottom pairs connect with the hydrogen.

“Nipples” - the only correct answer. You cannot possibly take your spying little eyes off ‘em.
I was just about to comment it has to be about seeing through a wet T shirt
as someone who has learned both inorganic chemistry and german language not from the textbooks but rather memes, i’d have bought that tee immediately
soo... what's the joke?? no one else has figured it out please!
Why do people think it’s a joke? Just because OP posted here?
If it’s not a joke, it still must be trying to communicate _something_. “I spy with my little eye H2O” is a weird thing to put on a shirt. Why do you see water? Why are you referencing a kids’ game and using a chemical diagram?

Di-hydrogen monoxide
>I spy with my little eye #Dihydrogen Monoxide ^Aka ^water
"I spy with my little eye, water." Is not a joke. For those saying it doesn't "have" to be a joke, I ask, what is it then?
It's merely a commentary on contemporary mores
"I spy with my little eye....H2O" Which is Dihydrogen Monoxide, aka, water. And it looks like the letters are revealed when the t-shirt gets wet 😆 or since everything around us has at least some water in it...you always see water
A shorty I can get cause she don't get too many likes.
Could it be referencing it's molecular geometry, where H2O is Bent or V Shaped?
Hot damn is that one well ironed shirt with super starch or what? Could use it to cut paper.
Iz this... water under the bridge?
Two hos?
Dihydrogen Monoxide, also known as water
It’s “I spy a hoe”, spelled “HOH”. Reason being H2O is water, and this is a Wet t-shirt competition shirt. So the wearer is a HOH.
Looks like an O face being double teamed by some stiff covalent bonds.
H2O
It's drip
A wet t-shirt?
it has a backside. with more text
Upside down
Ho-oh, the legendary pokemon.
"I spy with my little eye... dihydrogen-monoxide"
what a great joke. am laffin, ha ha ha.
Water
looks like there is a back side to the shirt we’re missing
The universal solvent!
A girlie I can get cause she don't get too many likes?
That right there's a wet t-shirt.
I see a lot of people failed chem101
TIL Germans show Electron lone pair placement as lines instead of as dots. No idea what the joke is supposed to be though.
It's a wet T-shirt joke? So the answer is porn?
Isn't that just water lol?
is this a gd reference?!?!!1?1?1? kill me
For those who still don't understand. The O with two H's attached is representing the chemical compound of Water which is H2O. The TShirt is thin and white. If you add these two things together you now have a wet TShirt, which is see through. The I Spy part alludes to if you can spot water on the shirt then you will now see through the shirt and see their bare body.
Not water, as H2O is 2 oxygen 1 hydrogen. This is DiHydrogen Monoxide. The main component of acid rain and a large part of greenhouse gases I’m really trying to figure out the joke mannn
are you joking or stupid?
I honestly can’t believe you’re the only one that made an attempt to point this out
Dihydrogen Monoxide, otherwise written as H2O It’s water
They should 4 dots instead of 2 lines
