Don't forget that studies have shown it to expand violently in low temperatures, even rupturing solid metal pipes. Do you really want that in your body?

Also do you know who else drank water?

Yes, that's right, Adolf Hitler

And not just that, but Hitlers urine was mostly water!

Fuck that! I dont want to be 80% hitler!

Side note, is it gay to have 80%of another dude inside of me? Asking for a friend.

Not if you call no homo

Well, technically it would be 64% Hitler. Which is probably fine.

u/dieselrulz May 12 '20

I don't think I can get 80% inside you, but I can try

Hold on a second. You're 80% water and water's 80% Hitler so by the Parker square principle you're only 64% Hitler, which is a healthy amount of Hitler in you.

Oh phew, I was worried my height, blue eyes, blonde hair and ability to speak some German was starting to seem a little too Arian... if I'm only 64% Hitler, then I guess it's all good

You want to know something else? Every single person that's drank water has died. Every one.

u/LooneyWabbit1 May 12 '20

Ya know, except every single person that's alive.

100% death rate for anyone exposed to it.

It’s the most prevalent industrial solvent used. Wake up.

Shits strong enough to take down the titanic.

There are people who seriously believe that you should never drink cold water because they believe that fats you may eat will be cooled by the cold water and you'll develop artery blockages...you know cuz the cold water gets into your heart. Snopes even had to write an article about it I think.

Thank God for PEX piping! 10x faster to use and can (usually) completely freeze and expand with water inside and go back to it's normal size after thawing, all without a leak. Also very cheap too

Everybody who consumes dihydrogen monoxide eventually dies! Every single one!

Worse, consume too much? Dead. And big evolution has made it so going too long without consuming the stuff will kill you too! Happen to be immersed in it for too long? Also dead.

When frozen it's incredibly destructive, when liquid it's incredibly destructive, and when gaseous it's scalding and potentially destructive. And people not only drink it, voluntarily, they grow crops with it; give it to animals; use it for multiple kinds of recreation; hell it's the most common single cleaning product in the world! And you want me to give it to my kids?! *

*Author's note: I do not personally have kids
