Oxygen, an element serial killers need in order to kill again.

Nearly all air molecules were once part of a dinosaur fart.

While it is plausible that at least a handful of molecules (out of the sextillions) in a breath you take passed through a dinosaur, i don't think that qualifies at "Nearly all".

Dihydrogen monoxide - a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents[0]

[0]: https://www.dhmo.org/

I was alway taught that Adolf Hitler was a prevalent user of dihydrogen monoxide and refused to give it to his captives.

thousands of people die every year from DHMO toxicity, literal overdoses of DHMO, yet you can still find it in baby food and breast milk.

100% of people who've ever had DHMO have died.

This is scientifically verified and yet nobody does anything about it.

I know this is a joke, but you did it wrong. There are obviously people (like me) who have had DHMO and are not dead.

100% of the people who have died have been exposed to DHMO.

You aren't fooling anyone, you know.

So dismissive of all the transhumanist efforts to eradicate death!

Their failure to address the presence of DMHO suggests they are not serious.

Truly, we can eliminate the null hypothesis because only ~93% of humans who have ever lived have died. [0] [1]

Over 90% of people who've ever had DHMO have died.

I like the formulatiom that 100% of the cancer tumors have DHMO and no one has done anything about it.

Water? Like, from the toilet?

It's what plants crave.

(I needed to be able to post that to HN tonight.)

Very on brand for our darkest timeline, if you excuse the mixed media metaphor.

Ah yes, the cautionary tale where the leadership is willing to accept their own faults, seeks out the most competent to solve their issue, despite initial reservations are willing to go with the suggestions provided and a public that, upon being provided evidence accepts it. Kinda hopeful, if one thinks about it, the Eugenics nonsense notwithstanding…

At first, they had no plan. They tried to imprison their most competent person for being an outsider and being unable to pay their hospital bill at Carl's Jr, before making a public spectacle of working to kill him.

They also consumed all of the french fries and burrito coverings, and were otherwise reduced to eating Flaturin -- "Hand-to-Mouth Goodness". Let us also not forget about the Great Trash Avalanche of 2506.

It was only towards the very end that they came 'round to using water (from the toilet!) for crops, put the smart dude in charge, and they all lived happily ever after.

Perhaps it'd have been a better fit if they actually killed the protagonist, Not Sure, and faded to black after the last edible plant was shown to wither and die. Maybe the end credits could have even included sepia-toned photos akin to those from the Siege of Leningrad, with slow Ken Burns-style layered pans and zooms documenting the peril.

But, I mean: It was supposed to be a comedy. :)

Does it have electrolytes?

Water? You mean like out of the toilet?
