There's a reason Gen X is called The Forgotten Generation #sadNoises
I'm pretty cool with being forgotten most of the time, especially in general "stir the pot to make people fight over stupid shit instead of building guillotines for the real problem" kinds of stuff.
But yes, I drank (and do sometimes drink) from garden hoses. It's just tap water delivered with more volume and outdoors.
Please don't drink from a garden hose, the health risks are pretty real, especially if it's been in the sun a while.
The water from a garden hose comes from the same plumbing system as tap water. Theres nothing wrong with it unless your hose is made of toxic materials or something.
Edit: Oh it's .world they wont see this lol
I didn't know people could post on defederated instances
They are federated with ml but not with my instance. So since they posted to ml i can see it. But they wont see my comment since they block us.
Ah, I see. I wonder how convoluted that's going to be in a few years 😅
Idk. I feel like the fediverse was always destined to be various walled gardens with like a few common hubs that connect them. The issue is that .world took the exrta step of blocking their ability to see our comments. Its not due to being defederated i think they did something else to not see us even on instances we are both on.
Its kinda funny. Ive seen a few .world tech support posts and been like "Oh... i could help but u wont see me" lol.
Not just garden hose, public lawn sprinklers were also free and available hydrating source. Even when off you could always find some water if you sucked hard enough. Tasted a bit rusty.
This is before purified wastewater / greywater used for irrigation.
