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-.

TIL better chemical designation for DHMO, but the proper abbreviation was omitted. What is the proper abbreviation for Hydroxic acid? The public needs to know!

I heard they put this stuff in industrial strength solvents and have found loads of it inside virtually every cancerous tumor. Wake up sheeple!!

I also heard it's in the water supply!

And you can even drown in it, if submerged in it.

You wouldn't believe the number of autopsies where they found copious amount of dihydrogen monoxide, but still listed cause of death as "unknown." I've seen teachers promoting this stuff to children! WAKE UP!!!
