The Daily Chit-Chat [2008]

[Ho-Oh]

How come I didn't see that? o_o But whatever.. I pay attention... somewhat.

Lakes are supposed to be still though... except for ducks/swans/otherwise paddling in there.

 

[Hiidoran]

Still water is a great place for bacteria to breed.
Drinking lake water before it's boiled could be extremely hazardous to your health!

 

[マツバ]

The water is ALWAYS clean. Like the sky... always beautiful <3

Looks like someone never heard of acid rain.

Precisely, not all water is safe to drink.

That being said, I still prefer Coffee over other liquids simply due to it's incredible smell and flavour. As for viruses, I haven't received any from water, and I hope I never do.

You got that right!

The water where I live is absolutely horrible! I think people put stuff in it that shouldn't be in it, which is a real shame because water should not taste like that. Even if it's tap water.

Yet, people wonder why I don't drink water.

 

[Live in Color]

I never understood why they put water in plastic bottles if it is harmful to people. One of my teachers was explaining the number on the bottom of the bottle ranged from 1-9 I think, 1 being most dangerous and just about every bottle has it... XD

Why I prefer tap water. \o/

 

[Legobricks]

A fresh flowing stream high in the mountains should be fine, albeit one of the rarely encountered bodies of water.
I always drink milk though, 'cause I'm weird like that. :o

Incredibly bitter...

When did coffee even enter the realm of "good stuff"? xD It makes me gag when I taste it. I actually puke if it is black coffee. D:

I just add a load of Half & Half cream and it tastes delicious. :)

It horrific for others, of course. Everyone has their own preferences, and mine happens to be on the side of coffee. So for you, it's disgusting. For me, it's deep & far into the realm of good stuff. :>

 

[Live in Color]

Agreed.

Ever since this conversation though I've been tempted to try tea and see if I like it...

 

[Tangerine Fox]

I don't like hot drinks. I've had hot chocolate a few times, but hot drinks in general and me don't really mesh. I mostly drink water, and occasionally fruit juice. If it's the only thing available, I'll have a clear soda (like Sprite, 7-Up, etc.), but I don't really like it all that much anymore. My drinking habits are very bland. (Though I do make sure it's clean! |D)

 

[Gymnotide]

About the water thing:
If you're able to pull completely clear water from still water, then that means there's no bacteria in it and there's likely something that's keeping it from reproducing... Toxic!

Er, of course you shouldn't drink the bacteria either... And you shouldn't drink water that's completely brown, either -____-
'Cause it's probably mud... Or poo.

 

[HAJIME]

Tea and coffee are both awesome in their own ways.

Tea is better though, obviously, out of ridiculous poncy national pride.

 

[Team Magma Girl]

I have one of this Brita pitchers. They work well to filter the water.




Question. Don't wells take water from the ground?
What if someone who has a well lives next to a grave yard?

Ew.

Ooh, that's a disturbing thought. Better hope your supplier's up to code and armed with a good filter. D:

Wells draw water from groundwater springs, far down below the graveyard. Of course, some of the water would pass through the coffins, but a good deal of it comes from elsewhere around the grave-site. Besides, there's really nothing to worry about since the ground filters out most of the nasty stuff the water picks up and bones aren't really all that dirty, once the maggots have their way.

The ground does all the filtering for you - though it really won't be necessary.

 

[Kura]

Hey guys..

:/ You know.. there are a lot of corpses "littering" the earth.. I think even if you're not near a cemetery and you have a well, you'll still get some of past human carbon in that water.

 

[Legobricks]

Heh, well, to me it'd still taste of coffee, thus bitter and bad.

I would drink it for the caffeine, but... eh.

 

[Aizuke]

Coffee!

How ironic I hate the stuff yet my parents own a cafe. :\

The only thing to me that would make it taste nice is endless amounts of sugar. But meh.

 

[Yamikarasu]

I remember my sixth grade teacher was addicted to coffee... every day she would send a kid to the teacher's lounge to make her a cup. Really, the student would have to make her a cup of coffee. Thankfully someone bought her a coffee maker to put in her classroom.

She also smoked, it was disgusting when she would lean over your shoulder to tell you how to complete an assignment, and you could tell she had been smoking during recess... yuck.

 

[Sushi.]

I mostly put only Sugar and Cream, each time I have coffee. I don't drink coffee much these days.
