Yes, which doesn't make it true. The "have died eventually" applies to all participants in the battle of Trafalgar. Didn't immediately, but after some time. All dead now.
No they can't, at least not in general. The longest lived, easiest to date, life has been trees, but there's no suggestion that they'll survive climate change
Most trees have live spans in the low hundreds of years
There is no definitive proof either way. Fact is that they can live a long, long time. The oldest known trees are close to 5000 years old. There's even a clonal system estimated to be 80.000 years old. https://www.bbcearth.com/news/can-trees-really-live-forever
Fact is that a tree is much more likely to die from external factors than from old age. It cannot be proven, but it is certainly not impossible that (some) trees are immortal under the right circumstances.
We have an eco system in southern Australia that at the moment is eucalyptus trees. They take over all at once after a fire, and they live about 300 years. When they die off rainforest trees and undergrowth take over, until there's a dry period and fire

Everyone knows dihydrogen monoxide is water, they’re not going to ban it. What we need to ban is hydric acid, that’s the most dangerous chemical in the world.

This has been done too much, I'd like to see a campaign to ban sodium chloride instead.

+1 Might as well ban saccharides while you're at it.

They forgot to add that it has the highest pH rating of any known acid.

100% of people consuming it have died. Eventually. That stuff is dangerous!
Tja@programming.dev · 11 pts · 231d
False. I have consumed it and haven't died.
I might in the future, but haven't died as of today.

I've drunk water. I have not died.
SW42@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 231d
Yet.
Tja@programming.dev · 2 pts · 231d
Maybe. The fact is not everyone who consumed it has died.
SW42@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 231d
Yes they did - unless you count vampires.
Iunnrais@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 231d
Mind your tenses. Will die, not have died.

I'm not a vampire and I didn't die. I expect to, but I definitely haven't died in the past
Tja@programming.dev · 1 pts · 230d
I haven't, and I'm not a vampire.

This is not accurate, only 93% has died so far!

Trees also consume it and they can technically live forever

Most drowning victims lost their lifes in this stuff! It's dangerous at fuck.
Also one hydrogen is already volatile, just imagine what two of them do!

I signed this years ago. It still hasn’t been banned???

Ever since high school chemistry, I've wondered if it would be more correct to refer to it as hydrogen hydroxide. Yes? No?
A_A@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 231d
Sounds like reduced hydrogen peroxide, I like it.

My high school teacher called it that!

Dihydrohen monoxide gave me dihydrohen monoxide tainted pee and my girlfriend died when she drank my pee.
