Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t a good name for water, especially in this context. Hydroxic acid or hydrogen hydroxide make much more sense.
Water only splits into O2 and H2 under electrolysis, not due to acid/base chemistry. You have to be actively adding electrons. In solution, it dissociates into ion states as protons H+ and hydroxide OH-.
Technically (H3O)+ and related species rather than naked protons in solution, but chemistry is just a series of models nested dolled in on each other trying to approximate an intelligible description of a complex physical world, so H+^ works fine in many contexts to get you correct answers, but not always.

kbin.social isn’t a thing anymore
Both (but especially hydroxic acid) also have the added bonus of sounding scarier for the fake PSA about how dangerous it is 😁
Yeah, the successor to kbin is Mbin.
