#drinking water companies
putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
#apollo don't fucking touch this one#serious post#not a shitpost#hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day#fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists#i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown#at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal#i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid#like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line#probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored#luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry#while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent#also eggs are $15

So I made myself some maple syrup soda using one of these guys. It worked really well. Tastes a bit like a mapley-cream soda.
Except I don't think my body remembers how to handle carbonated beverages anymore because I took a single (delicious) sip, and now my whole chest is on fire.
How tf did I used to drink Irn Bru like water? I feel like I'm dying 😂

i am the staunch defender of regis’ sobriety i will never not take the chance to remind everyone he doesn’t drink. from the most depthful analysis to the character fic to the throwaway jokes and incorrect quote posts. i will not let anyone forget about this

After turning in my End of Year review, I have determined that I need a raise. I have also determined that I'm not cut out for work life any longer. 😂😭 Why have these men not taken me away yet? Hmm?

One thing about me is that if there's a pointless rewards program that most people don't know exists, I'm gonna devote way too much time and energy to it so I can cash in 😈

I have a question! Can Piepoe talk??? :3
Yes! Piepoe can indeed talk, and is implied to be able to speak in her ranking screen images. (The text on the bottom is Piepoe's "implied" responses and speech)
It is 100% capable of speaking to anyone and understands creachers a lot better than one would think. However, he has extreme social/interacting with others stress, and realized that not speaking(even when others talk to them) causes less feelings of uncomfort for them, so they almost never ever talk, even to trusted friends. The most you'd get out of her is an odd sound, that is in fact speech, but backwards. Maybe just one word, or a sentence, but almost always no more than that.
