Back in my day, we didn't stop the game unless a bone was broken

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.
Five minutes? It should take about 30 seconds to run numerous gallons through. I think project farm was testing hose nozzles and he was getting 5 gallons in less than a minute.

Like the pvc pipes inside the house?
I’m not saying the person you’re replying to isn’t being a bit obtuse, but the water in your house that you drink should be running through copper or in newer homes, PEX which is HDPE, not PVC.
Carry on.

Aren't Gen X the parents of Gen Z? That feels more like a failure on gen X for not teaching the ancient art of outside hose drinking.
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.

Just an extension of Boomer survivor bias arguments.
They also didnt use seat belts blah blah blah....

5 minutes!? Jesus Christ, it clears out in about 10 seconds.
Some people are just really overcautious. I'm not sure why but Reddit was basiclaly known for that.

Have a sip of water that's been solar heating in a rubber garden hose for a pavlovian blast from the past!
We just ran the water a bit

Used to drink out of the hose all the time growing up in the 80s, but it was usually after playing in the sprinkler or otherwise running the hose for quite awhile. But never really thought twice about it either way.
Now as an adult the hose water always has this super appealing nostalgic smell, but I don't run it very often, and the idea of whatever might be lurking in that stagnant water just squicks me out too much to take a swig
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

People used to eat lead paint chips, too. Now they run our government.
Can you describe where the lead chips from tap water going through rubber comes from?

God I want to like him so bad! Like he tests all the stuff that's right up my alley. But I can not stand his voice and jumpy editing.

Dude is really pushing that left wrist accessorizing to unnatural boundaries.

Same people that made the microplastics, duh

Well, as a garden hose drinker from back in the day, I'm here to tell you that it was run through a filter. It's just that that filter was back at the water treatment plant. Same thing with public water fountains, which were everywhere. We're not that goddamned tough. We weren't slurping pond water through a straw or something like that.

As gen x- you open the tap, and you fucking drink. It's not rocket science.

Yeah, the one at the water treatment plant.

Run it until it's cold. You don't need 5 minutes.

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it
That's the hose flavor

I'm pretty sure the cancer is half the reason it tasted so good!
-
The tap outside is the same water you drink from the tap inside why would you need a filter
Another reason is that garden hoses are plastic and sit in the hot sun and cold winter for a long time. Lots of microplastics due to degradation.

I am late GenZ, we used to drink all day, every day from pumps on playgrounds and parks that were just unfiltered well water. Until they shut them down one by one. This was not a GenZ idea, this were Boomers and GenX trying to line their pockets with the "savings" these measures had.
Legends say that Boomers and GenX then complain about children not playing outside anymore.
If you blame GenZ or Alpha for how they have grown up in the society and environment you left them with it just reeks of the signature Boomer mentality to fuck everything up for everything but themselves and then blaming everyone else.
