Gregory's Server@argv_minus_one @mattmcirvin @cstross Bottled water is just somebody else's tap water with a lot of nanoplastics and petrochemical degredation products added. Tap water is safe in the vast majority of America, although bottled water companies spend a lot to try to get people to believe otherwise. Where it's not entirely safe, it could be fixed for way, way, way less than the insane price and inconvenience of bottled water.

This is America; charging people exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for not poisoning them is a time-honored tradition around here. 2/2 |

Only if you buy bottled water marked “from a municipal source” or similar. Don't buy that bottled water; it's a scam.

That stuff's in tap water, too.
Bottled water, at least, lacks lead, chlorine, or any of the other fun stuff that ends up in tap water.

I assume this is some kind of joke.
