J jgvhka New member Monday at 10:57 AM #2 Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is simply water (H₂O). The name comes from its chemical composition: two hydrogen atoms + one oxygen atom. Sometimes it’s used in jokes or “scare campaigns” because the scientific name sounds dangerous, even though it’s completely safe and essential for life.
