Alright this topic bothered me so I figured the onus was on me and looked it up. Apparently cold tap water temperatures in some cities around the world are usually around 15°C and can go as high as 25°C in summer. That’s definitely not my experience, I’m pretty sure it’s constantly below 15°C here. So then you’re not a crazy maniac and the regional differences really are way bigger than I expected. Who would’ve thought!

How is it more enjoyable to you? I don’t get it. Do you enjoy the temperature or is it an actual taste thing? Letting the tap run makes water so cold for me that I usually wait for a couple minutes before drinking more than a few sips.

Also if you want to drink something with a taste, always consider adding tap water to it. Most lemonades mix very well with tap water. Furthermore, not everything you drink requires carbonated water to taste good. Sirups that mix with water in a big ratio like 1 portion of sirup and 10 portions of water are nice too.

Carrying home 10kg of drinks every week seems like such a waste, I never understand people who do that.

Of course if tap water is contaminated because of a flood or some other accident it makes sense not to drink it. That said I think in many places tap water is usually cleaner than bottled water (some more so than others). I understand that I can’t generalize, but I think everyone who hasn’t should at least read up on the water quality of their region, ideally on official or trustworthy sources.

(edit: Note that I wrote the following paragraph without knowing tap water temperatures. Apparently it only holds true if your cold tap water is below 15°C.)

And since I’m already ranting: You don’t need ice in your drinks! It doesn’t make the drink tastier or more refreshing. It’s just a waste of time and especially energy, and also a contamination risk. You also don’t need tap water into the fridge. Just let your cold tap water run for a few second and it’ll rinse out the stagnant water that warmed up to room temperature, replacing it with fresher, colder water. I guess in some place this might be more viable than in others. Always depends on the local availability of water and energy.

Oh but she was totally sucking off that drinking straw! 😶

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.

To me that seems like a bold claim considering “the divine right of kings” has not been successfully resisted nor was it escaped from. Monarchies still exist on every continent, people of royalty still get more rights and better treatment than others, once-royal families still possess loads of wealth, still rule countries in high political positions, still own many companies and other wealth generating assets. Humans have gained unfair advantages due to their lineage for thousands if not tens of thousands of years and I highly doubt that this will change massively in the next thousand years.

Regardless, it still sounds like a really nice speech though.

Too much lipstick. 👀

Maybe it’s a sort of strapon biting fetish.

I want a comic about a friendly android who finds humor in spooking humans with red eyes (and other things).

Don’t forget the fact that this is all started by horny plants who only dress up nicely and offer sweets to allure innocent little bees because dirty as they are plants want bees to touch their genitalia to smear pollen all over their bodies as the little ones fly from plant to plant, exchanging pollen by means of a never ending bukkake.

I’d say blind and ignorant have very different meanings.

Being blind to something means you are unable to register it, you might be searching for it but can’t find it even though it’s right in front of you, it’s a sensory thing. Even being blind to social cues is a sort of sensory thing.

Being ignorant means you can see it but, perhaps due to a lack of open mindedness, decide that it is something else or assign incorrect characteristics to it even though eg measurements have shown different things. This could be due to a lack of trust, an agenda, or something else entirely.

Both of them make it difficult for you to learn the truth, but the causes and problems you experience are different.

That’s done intentionally. The holes make it easier for the bird to spy on you.

Maybe they’re shy and don’t complete the sentence. They wanna know “How are you so handsome?”, but don’t dare to ask such personal questions.

It’s a nice game, probably one of the best RTS projects out there. It was probably even better 10 years ago. That about must’ve been it’s peak more or less. Maybe a bit more.

Considering the comfy curled up pose of the cat I was thinking since AI already has problems generating hair/fingers/toes due to their variety, how difficult would sleeping/lying cats be.

One might argue the image is 3 * 1/4 + 2 * 1/8.

The 4th panel is two half-sized panels! Does that count? 👀

It’s a vampire cat!

I just checked. My own pooper is more or less halfway between my booper and my feet. So since I am a rept if I were a reptile I would be measured only half my current human size.

I find the ending reeeeally funny.
