Hello everyone, I am learning from history. Recently, with the grand holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics in China, foreign countries have poured into China to report on all aspects of the Chinese Winter Olympics, so that many people who have been misled by the West have seen the real China. However, a rumor about artificial snow making has spread on the Internet, let's uncover the truth behind it.
A Japanese person made a comment on social media ** claiming that China used a large amount of a dangerous chemical called DHMO in the artificial snowmaking at the Winter Olympics. This statement caused a sensation for a while, but the truth is ridiculous. First of all, the abbreviation of DHMO sounds quite professional, and secondly, the speaker seems to have some knowledge of chemicals, and thirdly, he claims that China uses a lot of DHMO for the Winter Olympics.
However, let's knock on the blackboard and reveal the truth! DHMO is actually a global hoax that goes back more than three decades. The full name of DHMO is dihydrogen monoxide, and there are many other names, including dihydroxide, hydrogen hydroxide, hydroxide acid, etc. The hoax began as early as April Fool's Day in 1983, when a weekly newspaper in Durand, Michigan, USA, published a false report about hydrogen monoxide, claiming that the substance raised a series of safety concerns.
As for the dangers of DHMO, some public officials go so far as to claim that thousands of people die from the substance each year, making it a major cause of multimillion-dollar property and environmental damage. But in fact, another name for DHMO is H2O, which stands for water! This hoax was originally intended to mock those who do not think through their brains and blindly believe in so-called scientific knowledge.
In 1997, when the prank reached its peak, a group of 14-16-year-old boys distributed flyers in the Pittsburgh Post, warning people to call a fictitious help** when they suspected they were contaminated by DHMO, only to find that the number turned out to be *** This hoax also spread in China and attracted the attention of CCTV, but after the rumor was debunked in 2012, DHMO became a joke on the Chinese Internet.
However, it is surprising that Tetsuya Watanabe, a Japanese public figure, believed this prank, which was not only extremely stupid, but also maliciously inciting emotions. In his opinion, perhaps he couldn't find other materials to smear the Chinese Winter Olympics, so as soon as he saw a joke about DHMO, he used it to smear without thinking.
This prank has been circulating in the East and the West for many years, and even during the 2012 London Olympics, because of the outstanding performance of Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen, when the West suspected her of doping, Chinese netizens also jokingly made up a post of "Coach Ye Shiwen admitted that she took DHMO" to mock.
This incident once again proves the need for vigilance and rational thinking in the process of information transmission. In the Internet age, false information spreads rapidly, and we should learn to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and not easily believe in the so-called "scientific knowledge". I hope that Tetsuya Watanabe and others will be more cautious about information in the future and not become victims of pranks.
In general, China has made great efforts in the preparation process for the Winter Olympics, and the preparations have been rigorous and thoughtful. At this moment, we should pay more attention to positive energy and look forward to the success of this global event. Let's put aside the senseless pranks and cheer for the glorious presentation of the ice and snow sports together!
This article profoundly reveals a problem that still exists in the age of the Internet, namely falsehood and blind belief in the transmission of information. The author succeeds in directing readers to a thought-provoking topic by exposing the misunderstanding that Tetsuya Watanabe, a Japanese public knowledge, uses DHMO for the Winter Olympics in China.
First, by introducing the history of DHMO's hoaxes, the article vividly illustrates how easy it is for people to believe so-called professional information without verification, especially when it comes to areas such as chemicals. This is especially true in today's online environment, where information travels rapidly on the rapidly changing internet and people are more susceptible to unsubstantiated statements.
Secondly, through the introduction of specific cases and historical events, the article emphasizes the plasticity and volatility of information. Especially in the age of the Internet, false information is often more likely to cause a stir and spread than real information, because people are more interested in novelty, jokes. It also makes us reflect on whether we are rational enough to obtain information and whether we need to be more cautious about information on the Internet.
At the same time, the article also emphasized the responsibility of ** in society by referring to the rumors of DHMO refuted by China ** TV in 2012. **As the main channel for information transmission, it has the responsibility to refute false information in the first place and maintain social justice and stability. It also calls on the public to be discerning when receiving information and not to easily believe unsubstantiated claims.
Finally, the article calls on readers to pay attention to the success of the ice and snow event with a positive attitude, and to abandon unnecessary pranks. This call not only emphasizes the importance of positive energy, but also provides readers with a more positive direction to think about. In the era of information overflow, we need to jointly maintain social harmony and stability through rational thinking and responsible information transmission.
Overall, the article provokes reflections on information authenticity and internet literacy through a small hoax incident. It reminds us of the need to be rational and not blindly believe everything in the information age, and also calls on the public to work together to maintain a clear and authentic information transmission environment.
