Our tap water taste like shit and every few months the gov find poop bacteria and carcinogens in it

How could you possibly label us first world?

>>211890565 (OP)
in actual third world countries they never find the poop bacteria because they dont look for it and dont care

>>211890604
This.
>>211890565 (OP)
I bet you don't even have water filters, do you?

>>211890565 (OP)
... You drink water?

>>211890565 (OP)
lies

this why americans are smart and they only drink cola

>>211890604
Can confirm.

>>211890565 (OP)
>Germanic country
>poop in drinking water
What's the issue?

>>211890565 (OP)
My tap water tastes like iron

>>211893959
Anon why do you think coca cola is brown?

>>211894018
Systemic racism or something

>>211894018
Because it's cola made with brown sugar.
Brown sugar is better than regular sugar but it's still bad because as an industrial product they will take all/most of the beneficial minerals in it in order to purify it, not to mention the added up preservatives to delay spoilage.

>>211894187
Wrong! It's shit. You're drinking liquid poopoo.

>>211890565 (OP)
Its the same here, but I also suspect filter companies are exaggerating the problem so we all buy their non reusable filters.

>>211894187
Isn't brown sugar just regular sugar with molasses added for colour?

>>211890565 (OP)
Our tap water tastes good and is very clean. I am always slightly surprised when I go down to the continent, or elsewhere abroad, and the tap water tastes and smells of chlorine.

You can take buses across the country without getting mugged, you're first world.

>>211894276
No, brown sugar is the sugar before going through the refining process, it's raw sugar from sugarcane, at least here in Brazil.
It lowers the consistency on sweets, so if you make candy with it, it breaks apart easily than regular sugar.

>>211893959
Nah you've never seen people (especially femoids) walk around with their big ass Stanley water bottles? Americans are obsessed with hydration

>be me
>drink water on island
>get diarrhea
>drink tap water back home
>tastes like swimming pool water
>at least it's cool
>drink tap water in capital city
>beautiful tasteless flavor
>but it's either hot or lukewarm
Why can there be no middle ground?

>>211890565 (OP)
I live on an island and drinking tap water every day here is advised against because it's desalinized water or whatever. It's safe and you are not going to die for drinking it but supposedly it's not good for you long term.

>>211894611
I dug a hole in the ground in the middle of my farm, found water, then took the water for testing at the city, 99,8% pure with 0,02% beneficial mineral.
Added an automatic pump and connected every thing to my house, I have solar panels so I water my plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and I bathe in the equivalent of bottled water without the added fluoride.
I bathe better and drink better water than a King in the Middle Ages, feelsgoodman.

>>211894714
Lucky guy. I have a sprimg on my property, but I don't drink it. I just use it for irrigation.

the poop is what makes tap water tastier

>>211894714
>without the added fluoride
No one does this anywhere in Europe. Only mutts have such bad dental hygiene and consume so much sugar water to think that's a good idea.

>>211894806
>No one does this anywhere in Europe.
The British.

>>211894806
>Some European countries, like Germany and Switzerland, rely on fluoridated salt instead of water.

>>211890565 (OP)
Move away from Copenhagen.

>>211894834
>The British
I didn't know that. Is this some anglo brain worm then?

>>211894806
this is because fluoride is naturally occurring iirc, depending on concentration you don't have to add more. it varies from country to country.

>>211894899
I have not idea, the risk of fluorosis already counters any alleged benefit it may or may not cause for dental hygiene.
The toothpaste I use that is without fluoride is made in Germany, the companies that make these products often label them as for kids so they can charge more for the product.

>>211894962
not the slightest* idea, keyboard eating words.

>>211894870
We don't add any to our water where did you get this from? There's a small amount that's naturally occuring, but that hardly counts.
>>211894918
I don't know about other countries, but people would be against the idea of adding any here.

>>211894994
>Yes, Germany does fluoridate table salt. Fluoridated salt has been available in Germany since 1991, and it's one of the methods used to help prevent tooth decay. Fluoride is also added to toothpaste, but drinking water is not fluoridated.
You get your fluoride in other ways.

>>211890565 (OP)
poop bacteria is bad or something even THOUGH it builds up your immune system

>>211894994
>I don't know about other countries, but people would be against the idea of adding any here.
well, apparently you get it from salt. i wasn't aware. either way, toothpaste alone is usually enough.

>>211895035
There is salt and toothpaste without flouride lmao. This is not the same as having it in your drinking water. I don't mind it in general, I just hate the idea of the government adding anything to my drinking water.

>>211895110
It also says it clearly on the box. You never accidentally take it.

>>211895044
Yeah, and getting shot with .22lr builds up your resistance to bullets.

>>211895085
They would be against it being in the drinking water because they can't choose an option without it. Except some weirdoes, no one here hates flouride itself.
