Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

[Apustajan apustaja]

It's not about excess water, it's about leaving your house ever, and going to places that don't have something available "when you feel thirsty." Or, hell, about not wanting to waste money and packaging when you can just take it with you. The only stupid thing is the obsession with branding and being more into the Stanley Nalgenes than the simple practicality of being able to drink water when you need to. Some people go outside to places other than stores and restaurants, and spend the whole day there.

I sometimes take a bottle to work, in summer since a typical workday has me walking around 15000 steps. When hiking i was taught as a child not to carry water because of unnecceseary wheight.
Notice how you are defending carrying water everywhere with the image of your active lifestyle and painting people who don't as sedentary? That is still an image thing for you, not about health or hydration.

What the actual fuck. That's the most insane thing I've ever read.

Why? You find water in nature. And even if you take everything else out of your backpack and fill it with water it will run out on day three and by then you would rather have a fire or a sleeping bag in stead of empty bottles.

No. But i'll admit that your results may vary in desert climates. Here, once you are out of civilisation you will find water that can at least be made drinkable easily. Of course you take a 500ml bottle with you when you leave, but carrying all your water for day 2 and 3 is not worth the effort.

I pretty much have a dry mouth problem so I'm always thirsty. I get being against consoomerism, but carrying a water bottle at all is a weird hill for you to power level and die on.

 

[Lobster Cult High Priest]

So thirty years ago everyone was retarded and everyone just died of dehydration when not reminded by the beverage industry to drink? Carrying water everywhere is quite a new trend. You don't see waterbottles in old paintings or even photographs.
Now give me some real argument other than "if you don't consume x you must be retarded".

We used to have water fountains that Niggers weren't able to use.

All the consumers are drinking out of Stanley Cups, so carrying water is bad now.

It is interesting though that Americans do drink more water on average that most other countries. Part of it is the massive amount of sodium we intake on average, but there are other factors too.

You know i was somewhat with you until than point. This "bring a lot of water everywhere with you" fade doesn't make a lot of sense for most of those people because they drive (so no physical effort) to their desk job where there's probably a water fountain or others water source somewhere. So they don't need to haul water around like they are crossing the Sahara on a camel's back.

They are making "drinking water" and "buying useless junk relating to water consumption" into a competition because that's what the culture turns everything into. And it's dumb.

But I was taught to bring 100oz for a day of fast hiking in a zone where there's no drinkable water in the wild, of course you don't bring all the water you need for several days of hiking but you would need to have a good quantity of water on you at all time and starting the journey with some it reasonable... nature doesn't always provide.

Americans also eat more processed foods than other countries. Whole foods contain more water than processed foods, so perhaps that's another thing that makes Americans thirstier.

Oh so you're descended from retards. That explains it.

while that poster is a complete and utter faggochino for implying 'drinking water is consumerist'
i did notice the whole "uwu stay hydrated" trend to come hand in hand with consumerism, although i think that has more to do with the wellness trend and fake positivity trend
yknow the "mental health" craze that comes hand in hand with the "adulting" phenomena

you can actually pinpoint when it entered common social vernacular when Chris Chan start telling people to stay safe and be positive and all that at the end of every post, it has a very recognizable language and pattern of behaviors, wherein every single one of those patterns alone (telling people to be "safe" and "positive", drinking water, remembering to take meds (lol), loving yourself, talking about being 'enough' and 'valid' and fantasizing about getting all bundly wundly like a smol burrito with some chocy milky...) every one of those aspects in and of itself is innocent enough, but together they make this particular culture

Yeah, Apu might be saying some unusual things, but the idea that everyone needs to be drinking a Gatorade a day for normal life is indeed a new invention.
That said, we've had "water bottles" forever. Waterskins, for example.

diet drinks are pretty much exclusively geared towards fats

odds that this is a gag? knowing some people, i'd give it a maybe 70/30
odds that there's a mom out there we does shit like this in earnest? 100%

I know its a joke video but I hope she isn't fattening up her son with this shit. But looking at her I'm sure the kid is a fat fuck too. There is a very sad correlation between low impulse control parents and childhood obesity.

Pokémon fans are adult Disney fans of video games. Even Call of Duty players at most are the MCUFAGS of video games. Multiple Pokémon fans on Twitter either got caught faking evidence of palworld using AI or admitted they lied about Palworld using AI because shooting monsters promotes cruelty to animals.

 

[John Titor]

This is a strange hill to die on, a single refillable waterbottle is the opposite of consooming. But yeah, you don't actually need gatorade unless you do a lot of physical activity.

EDIT: For the record, the Kalahari Desert has watermelons, which are nature's waterskins.

My own anecdote on this is I noticed it follow the short lived "water niggas" meme, in which people were calling themselves that and telling each other to stay hydrated, but not in that wholesome uwu bullshit way. It was dumb, but because the people calling themselves niggas included whypipo and other non blacks this could not stand and became rallies against, as there was even a subreddit with the same name before Reddit went completely insane. This trend got memory holed quick and the forced wholesometards took over, getting the sub banned or at least taken over and buried and coming up with safe terms like water homies, inevitably ending up with what it's like now.

Definitely. I thought gatorade was a meme until I worked in near 100 degree weather.

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

Africans and abos don't seem to do it, so it must be a cold climate thing?

I'm not going to take life advice from people who can't master the wheel.

You should not be drinking water you find in nature. That is how you get parasites my dude.

Also, the reason the African man goes the whole day without water is because he has no choice, that nigga doesn’t have water to begin with. If he had the choice, he’d carry fifteen of those dumbass Stanley cups filled with water.
