I mean, our generation have mental-sensory overload so that's why we are constantly exhausted and drained mentally

There was a point in time (post-pan, but still-pan times) where I was drinking so much alcohol that I had a reminder fire off every day that said, "Drink tons of water." I'm back to normal water consumption now.
But yeah, this resonates.
Pandemic caused me to dive into booze so hard I bounced lol. Though on the plus side I kinda lost the taste, so that's cool.
If it is hard for you to drink water, it might that the water you are drinking is of shitty quality.
I'm not saying you need to only buy Fiji or some other be water, but "spring water" usually tastes like shit when it is warm.
A good test is if the water tastes good warm, it will taste even better cold
One thing I've noticed is that it can be difficult if you've gotten used to everything you drink being very strongly flavored, like juice or pop.
Even with the same water, it started out tasting "blank" until my tongue got used to not everything being a saccharine flavor bomb.
Little flavor drops can help with the transition there.
I was able stop drinking pop fairly easily as a teen, but I still had problems with drinking other super sugary drinks like V8's "fruit" juice or Simply Lemonade.
One thing I did was start drinking tea, particularly fruity flavors. Those are rather flavorful for teas and helped wean me off those other sugary drinks.
Plus with tea basically being flavored water, it made the jump to drinking straight up water even easier. I still drink tea, mind you, but I also drink a lot of straight water.
I joined football in high-school and that totally helped me get off so much soda by being so thirsty and all we had was this shopping cart the coaches rigged up with a hose with a bunch of holes so the team would just run there during our breaks and water never tasted so good. Then when I got older now I just stick to water coffee and beer or kombucha. Beer and kombucha are pricey or take a while to make so leaves room for a lot more water
A shopping cart with a hose and holes?
I’m having trouble picturing this contraption.
Maybe it was pvc pipes with holes drilled out all around the top edge of the cart and they just plugged a hose into it depending on where in the field we were so we can get a big water fountain to all drink from
You really should not be drinking pop or juice from a health perspective. You will get fat and die younger than you need too.
Everything in moderation.
I don't think that applies to Soda
Fortunately it does.
Soda is a sugary drink and you really should not consume it as the amount of sugar in many sodas is extremely high. The "in moderation" amount would basically be a sip.
The carbonation is also bad for you bones but it is not nearly as bad is drinking sugar water.
Carbonated water alone has no effect on bone density, but it can be bad when combined with sugar, caffeine, etc.
BRB gonna say this to an anorexic person and fucking kill them
Cool story bro
Its not that I dont like water. I just forget to drink.
I just drink to forget.
I find a squirt of lemon or lime juice (or both!) makes tap water taste a lot better.
Yeah nothing like lemon to make fluoride go down easier!
Laugh, but I have no cavities
And a ruined brain!
Yes let's mock people who have no affordable options besides tap water
Easiest block in my life
Holy shit are people really this dumb?
Gotta be a bot account
🤓
There's no kind of water that tastes better cold unless you're exhausted, and then all water does. But if you're at a comfortable level of temperature, hydration, and exertion, all water tastes better at room temperature.
Um, I just drink water. It doesn't matter that it is zero calories or salted. I have been to some places that have terrible water. In that case buy cheap bottled water so you don't get lead poisoning
Thanks for the hydration check
grudgingly sips water
Haha I just gulp a pint at a time like it's medicine
Downside is you hear sloshing sounds from your stomach as you walk around
I mean, I've had a holiday last year where I was hiking for days, often meeting no one except for the group I was with.
That was hard from a certain perspective, it involved some technically difficult climbing, lots of different terrain, carrying your own supplies.
But I honestly found it a lot easier to just walk, one foot in front of the other, for hours and hours, than to organise my normal life. It was meditative, in a way.
Now I'm not saying that I'm some kind of pioneer, the people in those wagons didn't have mapped out places to refill their water, and I didn't have small children, diseases, or displacing natives along my route to do that I had to worry about, but I am saying that the clarity of purpose that just walking towards a destination for days on end can feel really freeing.
"displacing natives along my route" lmao #pioneerprobs
Fascinating this conversation is going on the same day as the EPA releases a new standard for PFAS in drinking water, etc.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/how-to-limit-pfas-in-your-drinking-water-and-food-according-to-experts/ar-BB1lo8iV "However, the regulations do not apply to all drinking water in the United States and will take several years to go into full effect, leaving many citizens still at risk, critics say."
Point of Use Filtration
Non stick water, amazing. What will they come up with next?
Thanks for the reminder.
Pretty sure the pioneers had that same item on their todos
The water is poison. The air is poison. The food is poison. You'll work all your life likely in a debt trap you'll never get out of no matter what you do. We're all sick and miserable. Cogs in the machine. Replaceable, expendable cogs.
But on the plus side, our wealthy elites are the richest, most privileged human beings who have ever lived, and they get richer every day. Oh, and the planet itself is not going to be able to sustain human life soon. Did I forget to mention that?
