so unfortunately my fake news post didn’t get much response. I suppose it wasn’t click baity enough but at the same time I didn’t want it to be super obvious it was fake
I had chosen an older fake news post about Dihydrogen Monoxide because I had thought it had been long enough people would have forgotten about it by now. though perhaps it not being a modern issue is why it wasn’t noticed.
Dihydrogen Monoxide literally just being water but using its scary sounding chemical name that has similarity to actual dangerous chemicals. I figured those not familiar with chemistry would not recognize it and those who dd would get a laugh out of it.

my grandmother reacted to it but she always “likes” my posts

my posts don’t always get that much attention to begin with so unfortunately not getting much of a response was quite possible to begin with
