I'm in semi-rural VA and my house gets its water from a well (well, we have a well that connects to the groundwater that goes into the house). Tastes fine to me.

That's fucking cool, pics or gtfo.

whatever. enjoy your chemical-addled water supply you bunch of cattle.

Cattle come in herds not bunches.

Nepsotic 03-21-2016 06:28 AM

If I'm a cow does that mean you have to put your hand up my arse, MA

Can I please tug on your nipples for some milk. Unpasteurised though, I like my milk the way nature intended.

Be careful. I hear the government injects fluoride into that sweet sweet nipple juice. That stuff lobotomizes you, yo.

i didn't know fluoride-guzzling subservient cattle could differentiate between herds and bunches.

It's gotten to the point where I can't tell if MA is being satirical or not.

With respect, I think anyone that attempts to argue fluid science should use something more vaild instead of a blog site.

It’s a dedicated site that exists to counter arguments of climate skeptics, and it provides explanations of its arguments along with links to its references and further reading. It’s certainly more credible than a right-wing news website.

I also linked to the NASA website about climate change but that got ignored.

I'm disappointed you took the bait, Manco.

I’m disappointed in how many trolls are on this forum nowadays.

do i have to? no.

will i? YES
SOUNDS GOOD.

Also I forgot to mention that the water you drink definitely has fluoride in it. Maybe not as much, but it definitely has it.

In the southwestern states, drinking tap water is like a slow and painful suicide because the water's so hard over here it's guaranteed to give you kidney stones the size of Russia and other health problems. Lotion is a must if you live over here because the water dries out your skin, too.

In the areas I've lived specifically, having a chemical like chlorine in fairly high concentrations or just a really fricken good filtration system is a must, or the water's too dangerous to drink. Most of our main water sources are man made lakes, and the few natural water sources in the area are usually protected because they sustain unique ecosystems, they're located on reserves, or they're owned by someone else.

My family has always relied on bottled water, which has slowly been declining in quality over the years (I can drink like 7 bottles of water in a half hour and still be dealthy thirsty), and when we weren't able to constantly afford bottled water, we had a filter tap installed into our sink for about 7 years.

Now, to contrast, the tap water in Seattle, Washington was frighteningly soft in comparison, and it didn't have a harsh metallic taste. San Francisco, California, which is in the northern half of that state, had somewhat hard water but it didn't dry out my skin. Refused to drink it, though.

Wow, I didn't realise Havoc was such a conspiracy nut.

Anyway, here in Manchester it varies. In my house (and most houses around here) it's always best to let the water run for a bit before filling up a glass, otherwise it's not as cold. The hot water is cloudy for some reason even though the cold water isn't and after a while of sitting out the cold tap water tastes of chlorine.



Uh, you do realise that there is virtually no difference between that and how we live right now, right?



In order to get chemical poisoning from water, the amount you would have to drink would probably kill you through brain damage before poisoning you. And that's assuming you didn't throw it up.
Don't be such a nob. Adding chemicals to water is perfectly acceptable, or would you rather we get parasites instead?



Surely you know that it isn't the case though? Only an idiot would think that everyone has access to clean drinking water.

About 15 miles out from Manchester here, no issues with the water. Btw don't drink from the hot tap, that probably goes through your combi boiler and isn't safe to drink since copper pipes..

Nepsotic 03-21-2016 12:50 PM

Oh yeah, where abouts? I'm in Stockport, so not technically Manchester but close enough.
Yeah we never drink from the hot tap. Always use the kettle.

More the other way near Warrington/Widnes/Runcorn.

JayDee 03-21-2016 02:17 PM

It always takes topics like these to remind myself how terrifyingly close some members of the OWF are to me.

Slog Bait 03-21-2016 02:29 PM

The closest I can remember anyone here living to me was Pilot, because he lived in Reno, NV iirc and I lived in Las Vegas, NV for the longest time.

Now I think, of the active members, Nate lives closest to me.

Who drinks sparkling water?

Nepsotic 03-21-2016 02:48 PM

Weirdos.

People with no other choice and weirdos.

One time someone left vodka with gold flakes in it at my house.

Slog Bait 03-21-2016 05:26 PM

I fucking love sparkling water fuck u guys

Nepsotic 03-21-2016 05:40 PM

That's because your regular water tastes like piss.

EVP_Glukkon 03-21-2016 07:03 PM

My wife used to drink a lot of the sparkly stuff, I can't stand it though lol reminds me of the time I drank soda water as a kid not fully understanding what it was hahah

Mac Sirloin 03-21-2016 08:20 PM

My tapwater is safe, but I use a britta filter jug to keep it cool in the fridge.

I've taken to drinking soda water instead of 100% of non-alcoholic sugary carbonated beverages but I need to cut down since I think I consume an awful lot of sodium that way.

I do. I buy like 6 liters every week, keep it in the fridge and mix it with lemonade syrup. Insta not-so-bad-for-you-as-super-sugary-soft-drinks-soft-drink. Very nom and a nice variation on drinking tap water all day.

Vlam 03-22-2016 01:52 AM

By the way, Havoc, I discovered, in Amsterdam, that Heineken was their local beer. Do you really drink it?

Havoc 03-22-2016 03:34 AM

Heineken is a Dutch beer brand but I don't drink alcohol at all.

Beware that soda water is typically somewhat acidic and is half the reason the "soft drink is bad for your teeth" wisdom exists. Although it's certainly preferable to drinking Coke or something equally sugary.

Nepsotic 03-22-2016 06:20 AM

Soft drinks are nowhere near as bad for your teeth as people think, maybe they would be if you gurgled it around in your mouth for a while but you don't. Crisps are much worse because the salt sticks around for ages. Much like this forum.

STM 03-22-2016 10:09 AM

Yes but salt is a disinfectant you PLEB. I DON'T EAT ANYTHING OR DRINK ANYTHING BECAUSE FUCK GETTING ILL EVER.

Nepsotic 03-22-2016 10:57 AM

Yes but salt is also fucking bad for you teeth you spud.

EVP_Glukkon 03-22-2016 11:51 AM

Doesn't this place have polls? We could have one for Sparkly, bottle or tap water and see the results.

Nepsotic 03-22-2016 11:57 AM

You must be a genius, because I could not think of a less interesting topic if I tried.

I had a bottle of water today. Let's go #TeamBottle.

Wait a second.


Which brand?

I think each country has its own brands

Are you sure? I swear the Romans brushed their teeth with salt, as do people in Third World Countries in lieu of toothpaste? For real yo.

It's mainly the fact that it goes hand-in-hand with carbs to fuck your teeth up.

I have a better idea: who are the best fans of Oddworld? Australians, Americans or Europeans? Discuss.
