This is sort of a shower thought because this morning I was using some shaving cream and I thought, if it turns out in 5 years this was giving me cancer, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Comes out a goo, ejected from a can with force, immediately becomes a foam?

Do you have anything you use that you think might be too good to be true?

    Bottled water. The plastic contaminates the fluid. Just drink straight from the sink if you live in an area that allows for it!

        It doesn’t even have to change temperature, it is enough that the water remains in the bottle for few days for plastic to start “decomposing” (probably not the correct word for it). And by the time you buy the bottle, it has been long since it was filled in the first place.

        Oh, and the expiration date on the water bottles? Obviously it’s not the water getting stale. It’s for the plastic.

      Tap water in super contaminated with PFAS in most areas, pick your poison

      (Or get a reverse osmosis filter)

      I switched over to have water delivered to my home in glass bottles (fortunately multi-use glass bottles are still a thing here in Germany). It tastes so much better than the same brand from PET bottles.

      (Why don’t I drink tap water? Because I want my water sparkling with CO2 bubbles, and I don’t like the simple carbonaton appliance)
