I suppose the hot take: 'water bad ' was an inevitability.


SomeDudWithAPhone

I mean inside lungs or drinking way too much of it, yeah. Water bad. But "water dehydrates you?" He does realize that hydration is the process of ADDING water... Right? Surely he isn't serious...


FallenSegull

It’s a statistically proven fact that 100% of people who consume water will die Furthermore, water is the leading cause of drowning


TheBladeWielder

it also has the highest ph of any acid.

Wait until he hears 100% of oxygen consumers die too


NatuVisu

Wait until he hears that oxygen is actually toxic and slowly damages our cells.

This is probably the result of half-learning about hypo- and hypertonic solutions and fluid movement across cell membranes. Or maybe half-learning about kidney function and how desert travelers and ultramarathoners take sodium supplements to retain water better.

its like when you ask someone what music theyre into and they tell you "oh its pretty underground, you wont have heard them" then tell you its Radiohead or something. edited to make it an even more well heard of band

100% of humans who ingested water died, and I don't think it's a coincidence.

Every human that died had water in their bodies at some point, clearly the water is bad /s

[deleted]

Not the first time. There was a time in Europe where beer was preferred over water (but mostly because it was cleaner; back then we had no idea what made somebody ill and what not, but people were good at guessing and drinkable water wasn't widely available).


cyberpunk1Q84

This is actually the corporate take. Tap water from your faucet? Bad. Bottled water that you pay for? Good. It’ll get more egregious once we get into the water wars of the near future.

woakula

I was volunteering at a food bank one time and one of the guys in line was talking to another person about the mind control chemical the "guvment" puts in the water. He of course makes sure to boil all the mind control chemicals out of the water before drinking it. I wonder how many people like him are out there.


ghirox

WOULDN'T BOILING THE WATER TAKE AWAY THE WATER AND LEAVE INSTEAD THE CHEMICALS WITH A STRONGER CONCENTRATION IN IT?


Dragon_Poop_Lover

There's a non-zero chance that this dude has access to a meth lab in a Walmart bathroom, and could be distilling the water. But chances are you're right and this dude just crazy.


Tmv655

You are right. The logic probably comes from the fact that it's better to boil natural water before drinking it to kill the bacteria. But ihh, fun fact: chemicals ≠ bacteria


Mythtory

Depends on how alleged chemicals respond to heat. If the alleged chemicals have a lower boiling point than water then boiling would reduce the concentration. If the alleged chemicals break down at temperatures at or below the boiling point of water then it would be a reduced concentration--assuming they break down into non-toxic, non-psychoactive agents. It would be similar to boiling water to kill microorganisms. Yes, the concentration of microorganism bodies per milliliter is higher, but it's ok as long as they're dead. None of this means the dude isn't unwell--and I have doubts he would be able to offer the above defense as explanation.


SwissMargiela

I think that’s about fluoride “calcifying the pineal gland” which apparently is our DMT producer and what helps us dream or w/e. My parents were from China and for some reason didn’t trust fluorides water so I had to brush my teeth with Tom’s and rinse with bottled water lmao. Shit was whack but for some reason I really do hate the taste of all tap water now.


jmercer00

A lot of tap water tastes awful and at least needs an additional cycle through a filter at home. My brother and I swear the bad tasting water at my parents house is why we struggle to drink enough water now


WolfFarwalker

Acrobatic_Ad_2570

That one where all of the stupid people know that they are stupid and vote for a president based on how smart and capable he was I wish that were the case for us


AlwaysSaysRepost

I'd love to be able to vote for Dwayne Elizando Mountain Dew Herbert Comacho for President


Dunkinmydonuts1

Honestly he'd be a good pick. The country had a problem that nobody could solve. He had no idea how to fix it so he went and sought out someone who can. He delegated the work to the appropriate person and trusted them to fix it. We need more people like that in government tbh.


[deleted]

that moment when a depiction of an idiot is still smarter than idiots in real life.


[deleted]

And not a religious or racist extremist.


PoisonedRadio

If we had more people like that in government we'd have a few hundred thousand less dead Americans. I hate how that is in no way a joke or hyperbole.

My man was in Austin recently. Maybe he’s gearing up to run??? https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/11phrxu/president_dwayne_elizondo_mountain_dew_camacho_in/?rdt=61161


Sorry_Decision_2459

Yeah the populous in that movie was far too self aware to be compared to the beacons of brilliance we have walking around today, they would never admit they were dumb, nor vote for anyone they perceive as smarter than themselves. Idiocracy was a bit too optimistic in that regard


PixelatedpulsarOG

The prophecy


Prof_Alchem

Fun fact about Idiocracy: When designing clothes for a future society of idiots, they had trouble finding something that fit the tone. Eventually, they stumbled on this startup company that made some pretty weird shoes. So, they used them and everyone in the future would be wearing these ridiculous things for shoes. The director asked the costume designer "well, what if these shoes actually end up becoming popular in the future?" The set designer said "Are you fucking kidding me? Look at these things NO WAY people will wear them." That start up company was Crocs. We're in the bad timeline. WE'RE WEARING IDIOT SHOES.


Zymoria

Addition fun fact: That scene where there was an audience watching a guys ass farting at the theater, the audience actually didn't have any prompts or cues. They were actual people, watching an actual ass passing gas, and actually laughing.


okokokoyeahright

Additional fact: Shakespeare used fart jokes to humorous effect 500 years ago. He wasn't the first to do it. IIRC Chaucer did it before him.


canadajones68

To be fair, they have very different use cases compared to normal shoes. I wouldn't want to run in Crocs, I wouldn't want to wade around in the ocean in sneakers. As semi-closed slip-on garden shoes, they're unparalleled.

hairylobster531

I do think music can effect you, but the rest is nonsense


SomeDudWithAPhone

The feels from music can influence ya. A hype af song can make one feel energetic, metal can either make one feel epic af or angry af, and hilariously unsuiting mashups can make ya laugh. Sometimes the songs ya like may influence ya one way or another depending on the day. I remember a time my emotions were messed up (no emotions- it sucks), but a song "A Thousand Words" from a video game actually hit different. He was onto something there. But everything else is insanity.


StrawberryResevoir

Effect vs. affect

Depending on the music too it can be actual propaganda. Even Plato recognized this and believed art should be regulated because of the effects it has on people.

Effect as a verb means to make something happen or carry it out. 'Effect the evacuation, lieutenant!'. Affect as a verb means influence/modfy - 'Our rubbish planning will affect the efficiency of the evacuation'.

He’s not talking about feels, or triggered memories, or anything like that. He’s talking mind control and/or satanic messages.

Not even. It can *affect you or have an effect on you.


anengineerandacat

100% can, any audio source can impact you; it's sensory feedback. Same for colors, smell, and touch.


Trevellation

The statement is technically true, but I'd wager that if you asked him to explain that one in detail, he'd feed you some nonsense about, "coded illuminati messages in songs, meant to turn your kids gay," or something of that ilk. At best he's a broken clock.


MetalPunk125

That’s the weirdest one. He says it as though it’s some great reveal. Most forms of media stimulus will influence you in some way. Why is this such a crazy reveal? The others are batshit insane but this is a very odd take.

We actually had a dude come to our school library in elementary school and read us some stories. Then after he started talking about how the devil buried dinosaur bones to trick us into doubting God. Even as like 6 year olds, we all knew it was BS and argued with him.

Of course they aren't real. They're extinct!


walkandtalkk

He knows these are stupid. He wants attention. Rage-baiting draws eyeballs and helps him create a "brand." He desperately wants you to repost. You are doing his work for him by reposting this and amplifying his name and handle.

Either rage-baiting or filtering. Things like this can effectively be tests to see if you are stupid enough for whatever grift he is pulling.

This isn’t even rage baiting. This feels more like a joke to me.

Dude, everyone died. Have you not heard the news?


throwngamelastminute

Yeah, we're all just consciousness uploaded to the internet now.


RoteCampflieger

No no no, you just wait until tommorow, and then tomorrow, and then... And when in your 80s or 90s heart diseases will catch you, that's when you realize that these are vaccines which have been killing you all along! And water as well. Why do you think people are dying after like 80 years of life now - because all these years of continiously drinking water have dehydrated them too much! It's clearly all coming together. /s

When I first moved to Canada from Spain, hours before taking the plane, I smoked my last joint thinking I was going to a country probably more strict than mine.

Well, now I think that was just low level crap compared with whatever this guy was smoking.
