Water is boring because it has no taste, but with practice you can appreciate the unique pleasure only a single oxygen and a pair of hydrogen can provide.
Most water has minerals, flouride etc especially from the tap.
The only way that water would be completely tasteless is if it was always run through a reverse osmosis filter.
This is why most water conducts electricity but if you had pure water it wouldn’t because it wouldn’t contain the necessary minerals to carry the electric current.
This is true, but that still wouldn’t explain why you think it tastes bad. My guess is that you never had good tasting water, which for the most part, just stays out of your way when drinking it.
Because the anonymity and impersonalness of this site is what makes it much more accessible to many of us than non-anonymous social media. Some of us have an easier time interacting with ideas if it’s impersonal. Knowing who the people on the site are lessens the appeal and accessibility.
Well, what would you have us do? Not be shown basic respect by getting our pronouns (which ioo doesn’t de-anonymise us as much as you seem to be implying) right or having to point out things time and time again until people ‘get’ it (for the other things in our profile)?
We personally think this is a silly argument and the point is the people, otherwise why would anyone or anymany come here if they weren’t shown such basic respect?
Communities are not just about the ideas and discussions that make them up but the people that are a part of them. Else we might as well all just talk to ‘AI’ chat bots all day as that would provide the same experience as you seem to be implying is wanted by most.
Yeah, it isn’t. It’s full of minerals and other things. It’s a common experience for autistic people/creatures, some don’t taste anything or love the taste but some of us hate the taste.
It should be tasteless? For me it tastes like cold

We’re quite sensitive to taste in some ways so yeah, most tap water is awful. We have to filter it before drinking it.
Some bottled water is okay, but not all.
distilled water tastes terrible.
That’s an evolutionary response. Distilled water removes nutrients from your body.
It actually kills the cells in your tastebuds, giving you a burning sensation after
Interesting to know, thanks!

I may be over reading this but I don’t think cele were actually talking about water
Edit : my bad, just saw celes other comments and cele WERE just talking about water. Leaving my comment as proof of my shame
Thanks for joining in. However, our pronouns are cele/celes, as it says in our profile 🙂
Sorry, I just edited my comment accordingly
Thank you, we really appreciate that! <3

So you are saying we should just be okay with people misgendering us and not paying attention to anything we have bothered putting in time to write?
If so that attitude completely stinks and isn’t helpful for driving things forward.
You and your pronouns are ofc valid, but it’s unfortunately not feasible to go into everyone’s profile in a forum like this.
We do before referring to others external to us. We don’t understand why that’s so difficult for others.

It’s worth bothering to care.
