Found in acid rain and cancer cells.
It's found everywhere. They've detected DHMO even in the deepest parts of the ocean, and it's been estimated that every single human being alive has at least some of it in their bloodstream. We're fucked.

The most dangerous substance in our modern world
Literally everyone who consumed it ends up dying.
It turns out it is toxic to humans in large doses, but despite that it is still widely used by industry because it is such a cheap, abundant and potent solvent.

You can't give dihydrogen monoxide to children. Fish fuck in it when there are large quantities of it.

Well you heard them. American numbers only from now on.
Get learning, kids.
Those are Mayan numerals for those curious
Now I ain't sayin that's a good system but I ain't sayin it's a bad system.
Straightforward enough. Dots and tics in fives. And a weird croissant for some reason.

It's America, we count shit in stars and stripes.
Gotcha questions like this (eg "should we ban dihydromonoxide") are supposed to show us not to jump to conclusions, but I'm guessing the people voting no on this one aren't taking much away from it
I think the point is less the conclusions of the poll itself, but moreso the ignorance of the average person about what the Arabic numerals are.
You're joking, but give it a few months to a year.
This will be a republican talking point for doing away with public schools.
Do you want to tell them, or should i?
Idk, I have no idea how to read the results I’m American.
To be fair the system is hindu arabic.
Closer to hindu १२३ than arabic ١٢٣

In fairness the question is open to interpretation. They don't specify if they mean western or eastern Arabic numerals.
As schools in the west already teach western, the people responding could justifiably deduce that the question is referring to eastern.
But the Eastern Arabic numbers are the same as the western ones except that the Arabs call them Indian numbers

Fucking idiots...
Roman numerals only!
Apparently they call it "Hindu-Arabic" numbers now. Not sure if that makes it more or less frightening
