Yes, there is. We are smarter than you.


Unlikely.


Well, I'm not sitting in meetings laughing at people drinking water, so I feel pretty confident that I am much smarter than you. I have much more important things to worry about.


I believe it's a neurological tic nitwits have had programmed into their thick skulls by doom scrolling on social media and YouTube. Dovetails on all of these low watts believing they have a debilitating anxiety disorder and the sipping helps comfort them.


I really wonder what it's like to live ina brain that functions like this. I can't fathom why anyone would write such detailed fiction in their heads about why people... drink water?

I mean, if you want to go down the oral tic rabbit hole, it arguably it replaced the oral tic people had in the 20th century of smoking? People used to do that pretty constantly. But drinking water doesn't make places smell or expose anyone to second hand smoke so it's a good development.


You wonder what it's like to have a brain that functions? Got it. You think every shopping trend and viral social media "thing" is organic and just appears from thin air? And it's just a pure coincidence all of these tumbler companies are owned by hedge funds now? You are a sucker. And probably protecting because you're an infantile sipper who is handcuffed to a 10lb water jug all day.


I already explained it, dude. No water = Braxton Hicks contractions. My OB would probably find your rant funny, though.

That's a lot of hyperbolic BS in one paragraph. You made it work hard. Kudos.

If a pint is a pound world round 10 pounds is 10 pints or over a gallon. I rarely if ever see anyone lugging gallon jugs of anything except corn likker.

I can't believe there are people who are upset that others drink water and brag that they don't. Um, congrats, I guess?


Agreed. It's a super weird thing to flex about.

The troll post about millennial women drinking water and not having babies is funny because I only became a water bottle toter when I was pregnant. You need to drink a ton of water when pregnant and breastfeeding.


+1. I am pregnant right now and my emotional support water bottle is right next to me


It's like that pp has never been pregnant or knows anything about it.


I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my water bottle isn't so much an emotional support bottle as "If I don't drink water pretty constantly I get Braxton Hicks".

Not only are people not cleaning them thoroughly — those pricy filtered soft spout water fountains they re-fill them at are usually infected with mold, bacteria and old filters.


This is why I don't carry one. Even when I clean it every night with hot water and soap I can smell the mold on it. Reminds me of the smell of lunchboxes and thermoses when I was a kid, and that is definitely not a good thing. No thanks.
