Yeah, that works real well, until you wear your potassium metal shirt.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

Potassium Metal is my favorite music genre.

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

I'm more a fan of potassium pop, or as some call it "K-pop".

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago

Do they sing about bananas?

I think that is called Foodcore.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Nah, Potassium Metal is heavy metal performed by people who always make sure to get their daily vitamins and minerals and also hydrate enough without ovethydrating.

They mostly sing about tragic romance.

mm nak infused synthetic fabric my beloved, it's actually marketable as "anti sweat" because it will fucking explode if you sweat.

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago

That's a solid 50% of the reason I pretty much only drink water. I'm almost 40 and still miss my mouth and pour stuff right down my shirt like I'm new here.

Plus, no one can stop you from ordering a steak and a water.

[-] Marighost@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

I'm afraid the baby thinks people can't change.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 11 months ago

Did you used to be a piece of shit?

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

USED to be!

Y'all like water? Now get ready for water 2, thick edition. 🥵😫

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I was caring for someone on a thickened liquids restriction and it is... awful. So many great things are made not great by thickening.

[-] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Oh this real? I assumed it was AI. Excuse me while I vomit profusely.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

People who have survived things like a stroke might have trouble swallowing liquids without choking, so you have to thicken them.

ETA; I think memory care patients go that way towards the end, too, like Alzheimer's.

[-] mojo_raisin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Interesting, thanks, I was wondering.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

just wait until you find out about heavy water.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Isn't that just heavy water (D2O) chemically? Wouldn't that kill you if you consume too much of it?

Am I deserving of downvotes?

[-] FemboyNB@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 months ago

No, its a gel-thing for people who have problems swallowing

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

It basically just increases the viscosity.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

How would that affect the human body?

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

I suppose it would make hydration easier for stroke victims, like another comment said.

It also might make bathroom time a lot more scary.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I get it now.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

I'd rather die from dehydration than buy bottled water.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 months ago

Then you are lucky you can drink the tap water where you are.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Hopefully they filter it themselves or have well water clean enough to drink. But that does seem like a tap water type of response, lol.

I think the message they're trying to convey is that plastic is bad for the environment and bottled water is one of the biggest contributers.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

and also fuck nestle

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Well, lucky you, because you can buy the powder and add it to any water.

Also, yes, fuck bottled water.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

luckily for you, nestle believes that exact same thing!

[-] IvanOverdrive@lemm.ee 16 points 11 months ago

On the other end of the spectrum is soap. You spill a bottle of soap. What are you going to clean it with? More soap? Congratulations. You've just made the problem worse.

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago

Man, I know you're never gonna believe it, but

you clean it with water

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah but the implied premise is being caught out by a spill randomly where you just have to deal...

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

I guess next time I'm bothered by my shirt being wet, I should be grapeful it wasn't grate juice.

[-] manmachine@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

the day that tumblr stops being the way that tumblr is, is the day that the internet is officially dead.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Quaffing... with water.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
