You can get some weird shit from preserved parasites and bacteria, if it's glacier runoff, it's filtered through miles and miles of biofilters and then probably hit again by chlorine and whatever whatever else is used by the water treatment plants.

Raw dogging a glacier is probably okay, but not for any extended period of time.

had a gin and tonic with ice from an iceberg calved off a glacier once but I figured the alcohol would kill anything in it

[–] Hexboare@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Alcohol content would be too low

Most things that can survive for a long time in glacier ice are going to have a hard time surviving in the 95 degrees F vat of acid known as your stomach

Y'all are just jealous you won't fall into a coma 36 hours after ingestion, slough off your skin and reform it into a scabrous shell, liquefy your body for metamorphosis, and emerge as Baron Annelidaeus the Thawed... Just let people enjoy things...

Presumably the prehistoric worms and bacteria are the evolutionary losers so shrug-outta-hecks

Isn’t the bigger worry what’s in the permafrost, not so much glaciers?
