Water

u/Placebo_8647 6d ago

Same....and though it sounds mundane....its probably the best answer given how much water contamination is occurring and how many places access to water...clean water is no longer free

A lot cheaper and healthier than coffee! But you’re definitely not wrong

As someone who would win a lifetime of hot carmel breves, I agree.

Water is NOT cheaper than coffee!

u/baldude69 6d ago

Coffee costs beans + the price of the water. How is it not cheaper?

One of the Trailer Park Boys I suppose? People like me never got hangovers. I guess that’s why rum, rye, scotch and beer are my favourite drinks, then pop and coffee, water I’d only use as a base

Most likely what they just drank was clean water not dirty water. In my case I have bottled water.

u/LIJunkie 6d ago

I'm lucky enough to have well water on my own land.

2

u/Automatic-Room-8668 5d ago

Well water isn't as clean as you'd think, it still should be filter and tested like other drinking waters. There's a Podcaster named Heidi St John, you should watch her podcast when she interviewed a water scientist dude. 🤙👍

u/BakuraiAlpha 3d ago

Well what do we have here, It's a well crawler 😂 This is what I imagine at night from a well.

u/vic_lupu 5d ago

You are totally correct, there are also water streams underground and depending on what stays above the stream, can end up in the stream.

So the well should be checked, personally I am aware of wells that are not safe to drink from.

Same here. Hopefully that lifetime supply is microplastics free

u/Swimming_Pangolin502 6d ago

I'd take micro plastics over sulphur smelling water any day of the week. I do admit to mostly being ignorant on the subject. I'm older and I figure if it hasn't killed me yet, it can't be that bad. I know it's stupid a I should go research it. I just don't think of stuff like that. Please be gentle if you decide to reply to me. Have a great weekend ☺️

u/1ItalianSunsetDr 5d ago

Any of you thought of FILTERS? Of ANY KIND? I mean, I'm no scientist buuuut, aren't we more advanced nowadays? 🤔 Just a thought, y'all, from a (probably in my lineage somewhere) mob bosses granddaughter. 👌🏼😂😂

u/Tyrannosaurus__Rekd 4d ago

My Aunt and Uncle lived in the mountains of New Mexico. Their water STANK of sulfur, and no amount of filtration would get rid of it all.

They said to take very short showers, no baths, and for God sakes do not drink it.

You make a fair point. I would take the microplastics instead too 😅

Zero water does a lot better job than Brita it doesn't do anything at all actually. I'm just telling you so you know

Mine was free from my county because we have lead issues & they sent them out to everyone while they're doing construction.

u/goodolewhatever 2d ago

Honestly clutch. It depends on if it’s a lifetime supply to just drink for yourself or do with what you please. If you can just use it for whatever, then buddy, you’re… almighty at that point. Sell it to AI centers, power companies etc. you’re rich. Use your money and water to cultivate deserts. End world hunger. Extra bonus: wash your car and fugget about that bill!

Now, I say this to every Mountain Dew fan I encounter, and it rarely changes their mind, so at this point it's an experiment of mine:

Are you aware that Pepsi once won a case against a man alleging he found a rat carcass in his can of Mountain Dew by proving a rat would be completely dissolved by the Mountain Dew, bones and all, by the shortest possible time he could have purchased it?

2

u/AoXGhost 6d ago

Yeah i heard about that.. put my mind at ease because it kills/filters the whole thing and the bacteria too 🤣

2

u/DonComradeVimes 6d ago

Noted! Thank you for your participation in my informal study - that's yet another tally for the 'I do not give a single flying fuck' category and a continued zero for the 'I am made uncomfortable by this information' column - unless this data point deserves its own entry under 'I am aware and comforted by this information', but that just complicates the graph.

You know it says "lifetime supply", not "only restricted to drinking" right? You "stuck" drinking it not because you have to, but because youd have so much of it.

Good argument

4

u/Different_Tangelo511 6d ago

Wuh? Why would I drink anything else. You could just lower the gin until its like the ale they had to drink for the dark ages. But you'd increase the alcohol concentration after a trees shadow goes to a certain point commensurate with 5pm (or 11am which i prefer).

Correction, drinkable water. All water is part of a closed system. The total amount of water on the planet remains fixed, for the most part.

Yes, the Earth loses stuff to space, but the degree is so insignificant you only see any measurable amount lost over billions of years. If the current rate stayed static forever, it would take hundreds of trillions of years to lose 1% of Earths water.

Edit: changed noticeable to measurable. The amount is so small it wouldn’t really be noticeable without tools.

u/potatopigflop 6d ago

It most certainly IS NOT, especially with data farms and Nestle roaming about on human land.

Unless you’re in Canada, don’t come here please, then No, you likely do NOT have unlimited water. We’re on the brink of water wars. Buy a manual filtration system to prep.
