FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[Aiden1024]

This is one of those things that grind my gears. I messed with someone who would turn on the shower and run the water before actually taking the shower. People in parts of the world have to travel miles just to get some water to take a bath and you're here wasting water.

That is very true. Wish people realized that.

 

[Master Zik]

Ive always heard the next world war would be over water

They told us this in The Big Short.

I am not surprised.

I do this.

Water paid for here.

Annnd that water nit makin its way over that way regardless.

Like when my grandma used to use the whole "people are starving in Africa".

So me eating like a pig is better then throwing it away?

You gone pack up my scraps and send it to these people?

FOH.

Should I go by the "yellow is mellow, brown goes down" rule?

I've given away plenty of Subway 6 inches and I save leftovers.

I'm not inviting ****** in my house for ahot bath.

They not getting that water regardless is my point.

I swear at my old job before covid hit I'd be out here like Frank Lucas handing out turkey.

And when I worked for the railroad we got just tons of bottled water for free.

Used to toss casses out for the track bums in the summer.

Im a man of the people.

But my dish water isn't helping anyone so I use it as I may.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

With WATER, I don't even think of "someone is thirsty somewhere" when it comes to "Wasting" water.

I just view water as a finite resource.

Its not.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Its not.

Water isn't a finite resource? Why do you believe that?

I come in peace.

It's not about you forcing food down your gullet, your Grandma just wants you to be mindful about wasting food. It's the same with water. You don't ever want to be in a position where you have to want for food or water.

 

[ahat]

Please make better use of the space bar going forward.

 

[kingkoopa]

I come in peace.

Its not an energy right?

Its just displaced.

Water is water.

I may be wrong so excuse me ignorance.

Does water go anywhere?

It may take different forms but its water.

Pretty sure if the world wanted, no one would ever be thirsty.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Its not an energy right?

It IS a renewable resource but that doesn't make it infinite.

The water humans have access to is definitely not infinate.

We don't have direct/instant access to all usable/available water.

 

[kingkoopa]

It's not about you forcing food down your gullet, your Grandma just wants you to be mindful about wasting food. It's the same with water. You don't ever want to be in a position where you have to measure food or water.

Of course not lol.

Im not saying people aren't starving or thirsty.

Just that my water usage has no imprint on that.

 

[Nouss]

Flint Michigan like 4 hrs from Cincinnati.

Imagine if everyone/most/significant amount had this same mentality with resources that it would make a dent in the availability of said resource(s).

But cool.

 

[kingkoopa]

Flint Michigan like 4 hrs from Cincinnati.

And my public water system has NOTHING TO DO WITH FLINT!

There is no salary cap on my water.

They will not relocate any unused water I may have to Flint.

I assume you've measured out your unused water that you shower in, bottled it, and sent it to Flint.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Pretend there is a butterfly that ALWAYS regenerates her wings if they get clipped or torn off.

Does that mean the butterfly will ALWAYS have wings?

Does that mean there will NEVER be a situation where the butterfly DOESN'T have wings?

Think about it and apply it to this situation.

ANything that goes through a cycle (of renewability) has to go through the cycle for new "Creation."

So there COULD be an instance where we don't have access to water for a moment in time. (No telling what that amount of time can/will be)

So NO, renewable =/= infinite. Infinite means ALWAYS existing.
