There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |

Water poisoning[edit]
"Approximately 359,000 people die of DHMO poisoning every year. [bla bla source material woohoo!]"
While this reference to drowning is quite humourous, it isn't strictly accurate: water poisoning is a real thing and can be fatal, but drowning is not water poisoning.— Unsigned, by: PacWalker / talk / contribs
- If you inhale carbon monoxide and die, is that not carbon monoxide poisoning?--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 04:38, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
Inaccurate name[edit]
You might have heard that Dihydrogen monoxide is not, technically speaking, a proper standard scientific term. But today I found out that "hydroxylic acid" certainly is! At least, I think so; information is conflicting. Regardless, I much prefer it. —Kazitor 07:02, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
