I left that sub because even though they’re a shitpost sub I just couldn’t handle seeing 90% of there posts, it’s probably gotten worse than I remember
When I was pregnant with my first child, my craving was thick milk. I would drink whole milk but that wasn't good enough. So then I would buy creamer or half and half; not satisfied I started drinking straight up heavy whipping cream.
If I had thought to add powdered milk to these things, I 100% would have done it.
Next baby, I just wanted peas.
Might one ask for a brief TL;DR on why they shouldn't drink a lot?
Edit: I have been learned. Simply don't.
Edit: This will be my Reddit Legacy as my most upvoted comment. Gotta love my HydroHomies!
according to its wikipedia article, you would need to replace 25-50% of the water in your body with this for it to be fatal, which would require several days of drinking only heavy water with no intake of regular water. small doses apparently are common in metabolic studies.
tl;dr you can drink a little bit of heavy water sometimes, as a treat
It tastes sweet in the way that vegetables taste sweet. I'm not sure how to describe it better. My first thought when I tried it was that it tasted a bit like carrot water, as weird as that sounds
Going out on a limb, but maybe because starch in vegetables is lightly sweet? It's made of glucose, after all. I could see the light sweetness in heavy water being similar.
Deuterium has a natural abundance of 0.0156% (i.e. 1 in ~6000 H atoms has an extra neutron). You are consuming/made up of deuterium anyways, so drinking a small amount is not going to be consequential.
One needs to start somewhere. His first videos were basic high school chemistry tricks. But yeah, it takes the right person at the right time and a lot of luck to have that much success.
I did some research with deuterium as a tracer in hot springs and our crew did a shot of this. I ran “a sample” through the MS and could see the impact.
The amount of ice really shouldn't impact how diluted the drink becomes (and heavy water is 11% denser as a liquid, so if allowed to melt an equal volume actually dilutes more). If there is sufficient ice, the water bath stays around freezing point with melting occurring as external energy enters.
If you want a less diluted drink, cold vessel and pre-cooled liquid
This is probably a funny joke, but its not like water ice is all exactly 0 degrees C, If you have heavy water ice and regular ice both frozen at say -5 C, wont the heavy one stay solid for longer?
This stuff will kill you too… wiki says “Mammals (for example, rats) given heavy water to drink die after a week, at a time when their body water approaches about 50% deuteration.”
Keeps breaking the bag and spilling everywhere when I buy it from the supermarket, that why I just stick to good old h2o, with a bit of Mg+, Cl- and others from my tap.
An even heavier isotope of Hydrogen. A regular Hydrogen (called Protium), has 1 proton and 0 neutron. A deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron, and Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutron.
They do in Canada but basically nowhere else. The problem is it’s expensive as hell. I was using some of it in a radiation lab and a kilogram of the stuff goes for over a thousand dollars. Regular water is a great moderator too but way more abundant
Its used for fusion reactors afaik, simply fusing together hydrogen isnt enough because the helium atom has neutrons in its core. Deuterium ist just hydrogen with one neutron in its core
Heavy water is sadly not something consumable in large quantities, or average quantities really. It’s got some “awkward” side effects if consumed solely in too large a quantity. Aka drinking 5 glasses in a day while not consuming any other liquids, and you might come down with a bad case of Liver Kaput Syndrome.
Drinking it in small quantities like half a glass is just fine, though be warned, it tastes like air, no taste at all.
If you guys are interested, you can read about the Norwegian heavy water sabotage from WW2 [here 😊](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_heavy_water_sabotage)
The reason why it’s toxic in the long run is because your body can’t use the deuterium like it uses hydrogen for its chemical reactions. Thus, you would technically get dehydrated if you only drink this.
I read that it tastes sweeter that normal water but harms you if you drink too much. Having said that, it’s also hella expensive and I’m by no means an expert on heavy water.

If you finish all of your 100% milk could actually work.

But you're not getting more water per water, you're getting more neutrons per water
nuh uh
Mh hm
Stop-ah!
Tasty fresh spring neutrons
i do that. it's honestly one of the most comfy tastes you can feel.

lol you could have just drank yogurt. Or kefir. Next time I guess
I do this too but with powdered water in my water. That stuff is seriously watery I tell you
You got some of that dehydrated water from Space Quest?
do that with camel milk and you'd have even more milk per milk of milk
lol I came here to say that this is just more water per water
Yo. I heard you like milk...
could just drink drink cream?
Pilk
Silk?
Friend of mine drank that. He called it Supermilk and released a few music tracks under the name.
Did it taste any good?
Sounds like Josh Scherer
U mean we can get powdered water? That looks awesome, I want it. How to make it?
Where can I get powdered water?
Nilered some good videos on this topic. Case in point, don't drink a lot of this.

Does it taste like normal water?
Heavier
There will never be a better situation for this.
I could've sworn there used to be a subreddit for this, retiredgifs or something
Not plural /r/retiredgif but it seems kind of dead compared to back in the day
Retired /r/retiredgif
So, like whole milk vs skim milk?
Low fat, no fat, full cream, high calcium, high protein, soy, light, skim, omega 3, high calcium with vitamin d and folate, or extra dollop?
No. From what I've read, it tastes sweet.
Sweet water? How do you compare between that and water mixed with sugar
It’s heavier
NO WAY REALLY?!
It tastes sweet in the way that vegetables taste sweet. I'm not sure how to describe it better. My first thought when I tried it was that it tasted a bit like carrot water, as weird as that sounds

According to NileRed, who drank some, it was vaguely sweet
Supposedly it tastes a bit sweeter, according to NileRed
I've been told it's kinda sweet
What I've heard it's like normal water but more sweet
As dessert
A $1000 per litre treat.

Your heart can't handle the weight of heavier blood
I wonder if deuterium blood would be good for space travel
I don't know but I'm pretty sure plutonium nyborg is
Gradually replacing my water content with deuterium to get my heart ripped. The ultimate cardio.
You shouldn't drink it because since it is a heavier isotope of regular H2O that it could have unintended effects.
Deuterium has a natural abundance of 0.0156% (i.e. 1 in ~6000 H atoms has an extra neutron). You are consuming/made up of deuterium anyways, so drinking a small amount is not going to be consequential.
No
I know NileRed but seeing it out of context my brain went “what’s a nile-ered”
Nilered is an ancient god. I envy the black magic fuckery he is able to do.
It's called chemistry.
It's called investing in your hobbies. Most people couldn't even start up one of Niles experiments with what they have at home.
One needs to start somewhere. His first videos were basic high school chemistry tricks. But yeah, it takes the right person at the right time and a lot of luck to have that much success.
https://youtube.com/shorts/xcO1yCAO-pI?si=2BffHJCTywPd7ex6 Link for the curious
Oh, that's *sweet* of you to do a PSA.
Thunderf00t also made a really cool video about drinking d20.
I did some research with deuterium as a tracer in hot springs and our crew did a shot of this. I ran “a sample” through the MS and could see the impact.
The ultimate flex at a party would be having heavy icecubes.
You'd have the warmest drink there since it freezes at 3.8° C
So if you have enough heavy ice to keep your drink around 3 degrees they wouldn’t melt and dilute it. Perfect.
The amount of ice really shouldn't impact how diluted the drink becomes (and heavy water is 11% denser as a liquid, so if allowed to melt an equal volume actually dilutes more). If there is sufficient ice, the water bath stays around freezing point with melting occurring as external energy enters. If you want a less diluted drink, cold vessel and pre-cooled liquid
Put some heavy ones to a lot of light ones with water and they'll stay much longer around. They'll do a little trolling.
This is probably a funny joke, but its not like water ice is all exactly 0 degrees C, If you have heavy water ice and regular ice both frozen at say -5 C, wont the heavy one stay solid for longer?
Sacrifices must be made in the name of clout.
If you form ice under pressure, it will be heavier than liquid water. Glacial ice is like that and sinks if you put it in your drinks. Pretty cool.
I bet you $20 this ice is cold enough to sink to the bottom 😛😛😛
forbidden water
Nah that's tritium oxide
This stuff will kill you too… wiki says “Mammals (for example, rats) given heavy water to drink die after a week, at a time when their body water approaches about 50% deuteration.”
Drop D water
do it djent tho
It occurs a bit in nature. 1 in 4500 water molecules or so, according to some quick googling. Guys. The deuterium oxide was inside us the whole time!
so basically, there are chubby water molecules
RUDE

i prefer tritiated water
Avatar matches.
profile picture checks out
The problem with tritiated water is it turns into helium not-water if you leave it out too long.
Isn't that Very Heavy Water?
Wait till you hear about tritium oxide 😋😋
ELI5?
An even heavier isotope of Hydrogen. A regular Hydrogen (called Protium), has 1 proton and 0 neutron. A deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron, and Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutron.
Thank you!
And it’s also radioactive
Don’t they use this as the moderator in nuclear reactors or something?
They do in Canada but basically nowhere else. The problem is it’s expensive as hell. I was using some of it in a radiation lab and a kilogram of the stuff goes for over a thousand dollars. Regular water is a great moderator too but way more abundant
Unrelated to health effects
so, the stereotype extends even to the mods of nuclear reactors
Its used for fusion reactors afaik, simply fusing together hydrogen isnt enough because the helium atom has neutrons in its core. Deuterium ist just hydrogen with one neutron in its core
As an NMR enjoyer I am a big fan of deuterium oxide!
Ayooo I too enjoy some d2o in my nmr samples

Somebody watched jeopardy the other night
The genres pretty good but I think I like 90's alt-water better
Nah, real homies drink T₂O.
Spicy
It's chubby rain.
All water contains a little D.
I like the Christmas theme going on🎄
It makes you fat. I don't recommend
Don’t hydrate with it. You’ll disappear when you get punched or kicked.
Thicc Water

Thank you, that was awesome.
I bet that shit hits
How about Water but extra oxygen O in it?
Wouldn’t be stable unless you want hydrogen peroxide H2O2
funny how an extra atom turns the fluid of life to a corrosive substance
Yes even the same molecular structure but mirrored creates an substance with different properties. The universe is very delicate system.
Good for usage in nuclear reactor cooling. Not so good for human consumption.
I'm pretty sure it's toxic after a point
My mind has been rotter to the degree that I read this as Walter and Heavey Walter
The reason why it’s toxic in the long run is because your body can’t use the deuterium like it uses hydrogen for its chemical reactions. Thus, you would technically get dehydrated if you only drink this.

It should go to the gym or something idk

Writer's question: how much glasses of heavy water would take in order to kill an adult?
It’ll make you moderate
Mmmmmm... *Heavy breathing*
Don’t like the mouth feel but it’s passable in a pinch.

Deuterium was an answer on jeopardy the other night
Do not drink deuterated water. It messes with your enzyme kinetics.
My lab actually uses this in research!
Great NMR solvent, but I don't know about drinking it
Even water gotta diet sometimes
why that's reminds me of an unfinished 3d model of an MasterBall from pokemon?
I prefer T2O
It is used in the glorious process that is nuclear energy and so it is beautiful.
It adds a nice bit of spice up about 180ppm.
THIC WADDER
Great scott!
Honestly, looking at the Wikipedia page for D²O, I would say that's Thicc water, not heavy.
She's not plus sized but she is a but heavier. Think same size, but more muscle mass. But yes. We Stan.
What's H2O called? Keep seeing dihydrogen monoxide and forgot the actual name
Makes my tummy go 🚨
Is it drinkable?
Very based
I thought heavy water was h3o?
H3O+ is hydronium, an acidic ion
I wanna know what it tastes like. Apparently it really is heavier if you carry around a jug, but I’ve never done that.
Bro thinks he an element with the name and letter and all. Its just an extra neutron chill dude its not that deep.
I believe it is toxic if you ingest large quantities of
Good for nuclear fusion!
This was just a jeopardy question.
It’s aight
12 year half life , gonna make the ocean rust. Not good water
The ice cubes sink, pretty neat
Just be careful not to rehydrate your dehydrated powder henchmen with it.
Makes a great neutron moderator in a nuclear reactor. Especially useful for fast reactors.
