Lack of flavor? You obviously have never tasted the bouquet of flavor that is poor quality tap water in amerikkka

Mhyes top notes of benzene and unctuous mouthfeel

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Biggest reason Americans avoid water is how shitty it tastes from tap in so many places

America’s Amaro

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 53 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is cruel. The cold would hurt them because teeth are luxury bones so all American teeth are very sensitive.

[–] Futterbinger@hexbear.net 45 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can't there's lead in it.

still can't believe he didn't even drink it

like, get fake 'local tap water' and drink it, or you know, just drink one actual fucking sip, you aren't going to instantly die from one sip as a 50 year old man

To be fair most American tapwater is poisoned

[–] wopazoo@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago (2 children)

This is not true. Most American cities have clean tap water.

The idea that most American tap water is poisoned is a myth propagated by bottled water companies.

Clean tap water is a luxury that most of the world does not have. You should enjoy it while it's still here.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Ok, fair enough. I'm not American so I guess I had been given that impression by stories about Flint.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

I find it wild how much it varies in the US. In Australia I just drink from the tap in any town or city and most rural properties. Some people still have those filters and things though

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Don't worry. It's only towns with a high minority population where this happens.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Can back this up. It's even a joke among New Yorkers that their tap water is almost magical. However, this is very much a mixed bag, as we can see with Flint.

Nothing better on a hot summer day than a tall glass of MILK. I am a WHITE MAN and WHITE MEN drink MILK.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What is this "milk" you speak of? You mean white water?

White people: Wow you had a spice in the kitchen when you made this food? I can't eat it now it's too spicy.

Also white people: Wow this can has more water in it than suger? I can't drink that I need something with flavor

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 23 points 8 months ago

Ice water is a tasty treat

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

There are many complaints you can make about American tap water, but lack of flavor is not one of them.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

My tap water tastes like chlorine.

buddy I'll complain that that's not enough ice water, gimme more

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

gimme one of those comically oversized gas station refillable mugs that's more like a bucket with a handle

[–] ped_xing@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

My neighborhood pastry-and-coffee shop has cold brew, so I ordered one. They ask what size and I say large. They hand over a big gulp of cold brew. That would be great for somebody with a fridge and a sense of portion control, but I only have one of those, so I drank the whole thing within a few hours. Turns out you can get a headache from too much caffeine, too.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Nooo, don't drink it!! It's a Commie trap! strangelove-wow

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I honestly didn't know people hating water because of the lack of taste was a thing until my partner met one of her friends who has that exact problem. She cannot stand drinking water unless it has one of those flavor pouches in it

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 15 points 8 months ago

You can thank the sugar / cereal industry for that.

[–] FriendBesto@lemmy.ml 16 points 8 months ago

What do you mean lacking in all flavor? It is packed with delicious micro-plastics! For free!

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can I chew a fluoride bar with it?

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Yeah I find it pretty authoritarian when they put "flouride" in the water so I opted to get a well instead and drink more sulfur than god.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

lol I got two kidney stones back-to-back because I was a stubborn burger who refused to ever drink water. Not making that mistake again.

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Jokes on you, the copepods make the water delicious.
