Have some science reporting on how the brain processes programming: https://youtu.be/xPecMsFmEm4
TL;DW programming is not language or math, though people who learned it when they were young's brains do treat it in a more language-like way.
Misinformation
We are also unsure as to why the people posting this are seemingly getting such consistent results.
Leaving aside some sort of collusion among the RF conspiracy crowd, our assumption is that the people doing this experiment are dumping near-boiling water on their plants. There's probably also a selection bias, as anyone who doesn't kill their plants is probably not posting about it on social media.
Misinformation
My wife was telling me this morning about a new(?) piece of misinformation she's been seeing online recently.
Basically, the premise is that it's an "experiment" you can do at home: you microwave water and if you water your plants with it, they die.
The people spreading this then conclude that microwaves are the culprit and that microwaved water is thus dangerous to humans.
Has anyone else seen this?

History certainly rhymes, doesn't it?

US/UKPOL
Researching this topic more, it turns out that putting potentially toxic alum in bread (and other foods) is indeed still a common practice in the US, and is/was in the UK (and likely carried over to other Anglo countries too). It's the third ingredient in the baking powder I have in my pantry.
The EU banned it outside of extremely narrow uses in 2012, noting that it was a UK-only thing. This legislation no longer applies post-Brexit, but the practice might not have survived this period.
My wife and I were watching a show where they have families running Victorian-era shops. They were talking about how the bakers of the era would adulterate their bread with sawdust, plaster of paris, alum, etc.
Me: Aren't you glad they don't put alum in our bread nowadays?
Wife: Yeah, or sawdust, yuck!
Me: Well, about that...
Wife: Wait, what are we eating that contains sawdust? And why?
Me: So many processed things. To save money, just like the Victorians.
Wife: ...well, I suppose it is fiber.

Always an amateur philosopher.
Sometimes funny...
Controversial things about me:
Anyone: transhumanist
Right-wing: polyamorous (married), agnostic atheist, left-ish, class consciousness resulting from working class upbringing
Leftist: bougie corporate drone, loyal citizen of the US (although I'm also a serious reformer), former libertarian
I hope you can look past all that though, we people need to stick together.
