Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense.
Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.
Technically (H3O)^+^ and related species rather than naked protons in solution, but chemistry is just a series of models nested dolled in on each other trying to approximate an intelligible description of a complex physical world, so H+^ works fine in many contexts to get you correct answers, but not always.
I wish I could search my saved comments on Mlem but there was the two-part story about Father Patrick’s Easter passion play with a life size bread Jesus and realistic effects created with foodstuffs.
It was glorious and will live in my head rent free forever.

Both (but especially hydroxic acid) also have the added bonus of sounding scarier for the fake PSA about how dangerous it is 😁
Yeah, the successor to kbin is Mbin.

PoppingKream was here at the start of the reddit exodus, so it would be something they posted
Not sure if they went back to reddit, but they weren't here long.
Shittymorph too. Although I'm not sure if it really was them.
