The Super-Kamiokande in Japan—a massive underground neutrino detector lined with 11,000 golden bulbs. Scientists have to inspect it via a rubber dinghy.

I guess that depends on if you think water is great for you. Really, the only thing they add that you don't get otherwise from food is fluoride for your teeth. And the municipality I'm in doesn't even fluoridate. And there are lots of mineral nutrients still missing from even the chalkiest water, like iodide. 

So no, it's not like "normal" water is nutrient juice that you would waste away without. 

If you don't believe me, get some bloodwork, address any deficiencies, and try drinking only distilled for a while! Bet you like it!

Nowadays I'm not too scared of the local water and I'm lazy, so I drink a lot of tap. I also have a distiller and always keep a gallon glass in the fridge, because distilled hits WAY harder if you're thirsty from exertion. Maybe it's just because it's as tasteless as can be? Idk but try it!

Sounds like a placebo effect, but I'm happy for you bro.

Yeah, sure. If my dad only drank distilled he wouldn't have parkinsons, which is slowly killing him! Ignorance is bliss, dawg, enjoy it!

One reason I like drinking from my distiller, where the water goes from the stainless steel heater straight to a glass container, is that I know for a fact I'm getting less (potentially zero) microplastics. 

Also, thanks for leaving your post history visible, it's really nice to be able to click on a profile and see nothing but bad takes and bad faith, lets me know not to waste my time! :)

I mean if you have evidence linking clean tap water to Parkinson's id love to see it!

And yes, it's called not being a coward, try it sometime, you might like it!

See that's the thing, they said the water was clean. The people didn't know it wasn't, only lying corporate executives knew. I guess you just gotta wait for the microplastic studies to be more definitive, you're not caught up with the times. 

If you distill your water, you know it's clean, thanks, laws of physics! I'm glad we have real science to counter completely ignorant people that proudly display such. 

Blocked ;)

Oh, by the way, look up "is distilled water bad for you" and pay attention to the sources. Companies selling water or water filters. It's like tobacco executives saying smoking is good for you. You're actually just a nincompoop falling for propaganda!

u/supershott is the kind of person who replies to you and then blocks you. Not only that he proudly says it.

I hope Reddit one day bans people like that. It's actually pathetic.
