Have you ever looked at a glass of water from the tap? I just did. I sincerely regret it. Maybe I’m just OCD, but it looks like a whole heck of a lot of little flecks floating around in there. Like, much more than you’d expect. If I weren’t so dehydrated, I’d go buy some bottled water at the store, but I don’t feel like leaving. Why are people expected to pay for this crap? I heard a guy got fined by the state for refusing to use the public water service. I’d just as soon drill a well in the parking lot and call it a day. I think I have marginal liver damage already – so I guess the question is, should I punch myself in the liver or drink this microplastic grog? Hmm, choices, choices.

I can’t drink that sh*t, but it’s just as well.. I die anyway
I don’t know where you live but here in Ontario they take water quality very seriously and it is quite good. Also many bottled water suppliers use ordinary tap water. Some of them are unregulated so they’re not purified to gov’t standards.
If you feel the quality is bad, call your city and have them do an assessment. You can also buy water filtration systems or boil it before drinking.
You definitely don’t live in the U.S. I’m in the rust belt – basically every state in this region has lead levels as high as 100x the safe limit. I’m looking into getting some reverse osmosis filters, but I’m between jobs (starting at a new place this week) and subsisting on ramen noodles and coffee. It’s a great diet, I recommend it. I can’t escape the tap, sadly. It’s funny – my last physical came back with elevated protein levels on the liver function test, and only in the last few weeks has it got to a point where I can tell something’s wrong without the need of a doctor advising me about it. Keeping my fingers crossed that I won’t need any urinalysis for my new job. That might go sideways.
Silly rivets, you should never look at the water first.
honestly with well water you got high chance of running into those flecks anyway, plus a malodorous glass to boot. I didn’t drink the well water half the time growing up
