As a gen X I always think it's kinda weird how Gen Z (or whatever is the last), care about health considered the shitty world they're supposed to meet.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

Mmmmmmm metal and water perfect combo.
I can taste this.

The tap outside is the same water you drink from the tap inside why would you need a filter
That's not always the case. If a house has a well and later gets water from a utility, they will often keep exterior taps running well water because it's a lot cheaper than abandoning the well. So, technically, you could have water that's safe to drink inside the house but still have unsafe water outside.
Also, if the house has filters or other water treatment that generally isn't used for the exterior (though that's typically more about taste and mineral content, rather than anything hazardous).

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.
Ah, I saw this and was thrown off because I grew up on a farm where the hose was used for everything. In thinking about it, my better judgement wouldn’t consider drinking from the hose I keep at the apartment for a second, even if I’d been using it all day
. That sits for months at a time gathering who-knows-what. -

Gotta bring that avg. life expectancy up to increase retirement age to 85.

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?

The garden hoses are made out of PVC, and It leaches into the water passing though it

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

GenX have higher amounts of brain damage from lead poisoning, and earlier this year Trump saw a spike in support from GenX:

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.

5 minutes!? Jesus Christ, it clears out in about 10 seconds.

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.

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.

We didn't have filters in my dad. We didn't even think about the environment or wounde if the water was safe to drink. We just drank it.

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
