Bro, have you seen what happens to metals when they are exposed for a prolonged period of time to dihydrogen monoxide?? This is crazy.

Pure DHMO is actually pretty inert. It’s only once you add ions of sodium (a highly reactive metal) and chlorine (a highly toxic gas) that it starts damaging metal.
