    Water is so far above everything else that EVERY SINGLE SODA is forced to add around 80% water.

    I’d fight the shit out of you but I am afraid you are just too well hydrated and I stand no chance.

      Water is S, Milk is A, and Beer might be D tier. It’s bad for you like the drinks in F tier, but you at least catch a buzz.

      most humans cant drink milk, humans are the only species that drinks milk as adults, humans are the only species to drink another species’ milk. milk involves raping and killing cows. F tier

          Mammals produce milk for their offspring. Dairy farmers have to keep their dairy cows pregnant and having babies constantly so they continue producing milk. This involves bulls inseminating the cows or more commonly non-consensual artificial insemination. Either could be considered rape. I guess an ethical farmer could only choose to opportunistically collect extra milk at times when their cows have given birth and after the calf has drank their fill, but that’s not how it happens at large dairy farms.

            Animals aren’t capable of consenting to anything. They lack both the communication capabilities and the mental facilities to make the kind of decisions that are involved in any kind of consent. This is similar to how the severely mentally disabled are unable to consent and must instead have a caretaker give medical consent.

            I’ll concede that animal farming practices are generally difficult to justify and align with our modern morals, but farm animals can and often are treated with a level of respect to quality of life that is not far from some pets, just with the added expectation that they also provide for us.

              Yes, I was leaving that exercise for the reader and you hit it out of the park. Being unable to consent, any sexual act performed on them by an able-minded adult human is rape.

              Letting nature do its thing is a whole lot different than humans doing a similar act. We generally don’t condone cruelty to animals in lab environments or everyday life, even though predators maul and maim other species all the time.

              And the inseminated cows goes “o fuck, I’m late again! I can’t go thought this again. my career will go to shit”.

    I mean, you didn’t include anything like tea, so it’s kinda just easy. Fizzy, calorie-pumped, nutritionless, cheap-dopamine-providing, overpriced and overpackaged water is pretty low hanging fruit.

      Oh hey, it’s just a girl.

      I kinda always knew she’d end up my ex girlfriend, and that shit was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Don’t speak, I know just what you’re thinking. It didn’t happen. Well. You’re right. It didn’t.

      God, I wish I could stop but I just can’t.

    Water is the goat but have you ever jad a soda pop made botanically? Modern soda is just synth flavors and sugar, but it used to be flavored with actual spices. It’s harder to find, but if you can find a truly classic soda brand it absolutely slaps modern corn syrup shit out of the universe

    Imagine tasting cola, except it actually has a deep flavor palette and isn’t cloyingly sweetened subsidized corn liquid

      How about whether or not the earliest-known literate civilizations in the ancient Near East were of each other’s existence?

        Oh, most Assur-edly. But seriously though, that depends on what you mean by “the earliest-known”. Which specific cultures are you referring to? Sumerian was the de facto lingua franca (for written language) until superseded by Assyrian, and in either case, warfare between city-states and proto-states was full on raging basically since the beginning until, well, now. So they were quite aware. The Mesopotamian delta is only so big, you’ve got the two main trading and shipping arteries running through the desert, Eufrat and Tigris, making it super lush and pretty, so generally those were the areas fought over (though back then even the desert wasn’t quite as desert-y as it is today, and there’s plenty of ruins in the middle of bumfuck sandland, though arguably they wouldn’t have settled there without a good source of water. The Assyrians built some sick-ass aqueducts, too, but let’s not talk about them because they were not very nice people).

        I think you skipped the “aware”. If so, then I must argue that I don’t know enough about the topic, and since I don’t know then no body else knows and if they say they do it’s a conspiracy! So there.
