Like the commenter above said .... having that water sit stale in about 50 feet of hose for about a week or two or longer and depending on where it was placed, being heated by the sun and cooled every night.

As a rule of thumb, if you ever want to try this, run the hose for about five minutes first.

Apparently it’s the hose that’s the problem, something about it breaking down or whatnot.

People used to eat lead paint chips, too. Now they run our government.

At my childhood home, I wouldn't drink the tap inside without a filter either. And my parents don't trust it even if it has been through a filter. Only reason I'd drink directly from the outside faucet is if I'm really in need of water and there's no other viable option.

Back in my day we had generational tribalism for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we liked it.

Back in the day you could book computer time at the local library in my town. I would walk to the library by myself so I could play Oregon trail on an apple iie. Honestly I'm glad that kids have access to the equivalent of the Library of Alexandria in their pocket, but I do miss the days of pre social media and the 24 hour news cycle.

The whole generation thing gets so much funnier when you think how other countries exist.

Imagine you experience a military coup at age of 10 and flee to North Iraq with your family where you live for a few years until your Asylum status gets processed and come to US.

Because of how weird whole process is however you still have to stay in a migrant detention center for anywhere between 2 days to several months depending on your age and gender as they check your papers and luggage.
(It looks like this btw.)

Then some highschool teacher calls you overgrown toddler because "your generation is too sissy to drink from a hose."

I was born mid eighties and grew up in South Florida. You better believe we learned to let the hose run for a solid minute before even thinking about drinking from it.

Also most filters don't filter out pthalates.

We just ran the water a bit

I still laugh about boomers bitching about participation trophies while being the ones handing them out

I think it's because a lot of Gen Z already have health problems that they can't afford to go to the doctor for. Or if they can afford it, the doctor doesn't know how or doesn't care about treating it. I know a healthcare provider that said they can't believe how many young people come in with old people diseases.

Because they live in a poisoned world. If you know you're constantly being poisoned, do you accept it, or do you become worried about the level of poison?

Social media and short videos. That's why there's a reason young girls to young women have a eating disorders and it's going up.

My kids got to drink from a hose. Nothing was more refreshing then drinking cool water from a hose as a kid. As an adult still not to bad.

Gen Z and Gen Alpha because anyone younger can't afford to have kids. Been seeing plenty of people in their late 40s and early-to-mid 50s with young children, but almost nobody under 40 with kids.

They'll he defined as a generation thay never got to be in charge.

The youngest X-ers need colonoscopies, and the Boomers still fucking refuse to step back.
