Tired of “words I can’t pronounce”

[genxjeff]

@katrina2017 I like how you phrased that. Very simple and clear!

@genxjeff Coworker was heavily against Oatmilk. “Has too many words I can’t pronounce!” She said. I looked. The main words she was concerned with were one ingredient, Tricalcium Phosphate. It’s fortified with calcium. That’s it.

@joy67 "You can't pronounce tricalcium phosphate? That's like high school science pronunciation. "

 

[joy67]

@asvin That’s what I was thinking when I saw what she was making a big deal about. All the other ones were random vitamins. Tbh I lost a lot of respect for her in that moment lol

@joy67 Sounds like one of those that would fall for the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide speech.

 

[joy67]

@bree1224 Oh 100%

 

[kllyfy]

@joy67 You clearly work for big oat or big calcium.

@genxjeff This is precisely why I never let my children consume dihydrogen monoxide!

 

[sisters18]

@stephenp12 And actually dihydrogen monoxide has been found in the systems of EVERYONE who has died - EVER! Honestly we need to be more concerned about it

 

[dimpho]

@stephenp12 Dihydrogen monoxide is implicated in a lot of drowning deaths.

 

[fearlessfreep]

@dimpho It's present in TOILET BOWLS and RAT FECES. /s

@stephenp12 Causes nausea and vomiting too! this is a great link for more information! (with an added bonus of looking like the website is from the mid 90s, ah nostalgia)

 

[benjaminhu]

@jamesdoeith Can you believe some people give it to their kids??

 

[romrulida]

@stephenp12 It's the same chemical that causes RUST! Can you believe some people put that in their bodies?!?!

 

[ajanajoseph]

@romrulida It will literally eat through steel!

 

[simondarok]

@romrulida Not only that but it can erode rock

Let that sink in!

 

[larry9madison]

@stephenp12 I was going to comment about that lol. Amazing social experiment.

 

[odianosen]

@genxjeff That's moronic. Cyanide and arsenic are pretty easy to pronounce and I'm hoping no one is feeding them to their babies.

 

[davidvgoliath]

@odianosen To add to this, arsenic is found naturally in apples, pears and grapes!

 

[navysteel]

@davidvgoliath Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you might have it backwards. Cyanide is find in apple seeds and the pits of most stone fruits. Wikipedia tells me that arsenic is a metalloid, usually found with other minerals.
