costs money to extract water from glaciers

A bottle of water is 99 cents at Cvs

I bought one for a homeless guy last week to make myself feel better.

Tap water is free and a reverse osmosis filter is a $200 investment for life.

supply and demand + cost of production + cost of labor + inflation/deflation + taxes + scores of other factors = consumer price

This, people are more likely buying soda so it moves quicker and can be sold at a cheaper price. Although lately I've seen water and soda being sold at the same price. Plus, people are more likely to refill a water bottle at a fountain or something but people who buy soda will just buy another one.

>>9008121
No it doesn't. You paid for the use of the tap in your rent. Furthermore, you may be facing taste costs if your tap water tastes worse than other water. Add to that the costs of the filter needed to make the tap water more palatable as you suggested.

I could add nitpicky costs onto just about anything my man but I really do mean that "included in rent" is not free.

20 oz sodas are usually kept refrigerated which costs money, compared to the liter bottles which are just kept on a shelf.

i think theyre buying them at fast food places rather than the actual grocery store.

>>9008059
I bought a big soda for a homeless guy and the faggot said he wanted money not a drink.

That was 2 years ago and I haven't offered to help a homeless person since, they can all die.

>>9008662
Showers aren't a major use of water. Most water is used up by farming, and since a lot of food gets thrown away, that's a bigger cause for concern. You can't expect people to want to be dirty to save a bit of water though, it's pretty normal for a lot of people to shower before and after work. You can tell people to conserve water but it's not the only answer, we need better technology to clean and recycle water.

>>9008696
You shouldn't say hundreds of thousands of people should just die because your one act of kindness didn't give you the validation you wanted. It's nice to be appreciated but that shouldn't be your main motivation for doing good.

>>9008708
No, they really should all die.

I have seen the light, and they are the darkness that must be purged of this world.

>>9008701
>before and after work
Do you get that dirty sleeping? I can understand after especially if you work in a dirty and/or labor intensive job, but before and after?

>>9008708
>>9008725
You may also have unwittingly helped someone either pretending to be homeless or homeless but with an even worse drug and/or alcohol problem.

>>9008763
Sometimes I'll sweat during the night. Your body just produces oils and smells that you should try to clean up a bit too. Also I usually poop in the morning and want to be clean from that.

But I'm not talking about a shower where you completely lather yourself up in soap and shampoo, a lot of the time I just do a quick rinse with only water which is enough. Except on your butthole, you should always use soap and water to clean that with each shower.

>>9008776
It's worth helping someone who really needs it, even if some people are just taking advantage.

>>9008822
>Your body just produces oils and smells that you should try to clean up a bit too.

No, your body OVERproduces oils and when you strip your skin of them two times a day. You skin is supposed to have alight protective coating of oil and the harder you try to remove it, the harder your body will try to put it back.

Feeling the need to shower after you take a shit to "be clean" is literal mental disorder tier.

>>9008086
and store brands are ven cheaper.

i've sometimes have bought this, drank as much as i can and just toss it.

cheaper than a $1 for a 16 oz bottle

There's a cool homeless dude that walks around here with a guitar. Sometimes he sits on the street corner and plays and people give him money. I've given him money a few times and he seems like a really nice dude.
There's also a homeless woman here that is possibly one of the most unpleasant human beings you will ever encounter. She will just walk around and scream at the top of her lungs at nothing. I've tried to help her before and she told me to fuck off.
She can go die but homeless guitar bro is cool. Don't judge people based off of one thing.

>>9008725
What are you? Because now I know everyone like you should die.

>>9008848
Water alone doesn't strip oil like soap and water does. Just using water still leaves a small amount of oil on your skin. I didn't say I feel I have to take a shower after every shit, but it's a contributing factor in the morning. Not sure why that's upsetting you so much that you need to call me crazy for taking a shower in the morning. Is it making you feel insecure to hear that someone washes more than you do? I wasn't judging, just saying what I do.

>>9008827
>Its worth falling for a bunch of scams to self validate my decisions.

Donate to a soup kitchen.

>>9008696

When you grow up a little you'll realize that some people are just mentally ill and you shouldn't take shit like that to heart. Most homeless people are vets or have no family to help them get the care they need. Of course there are some hat are just plain old addict pieces of shit but that's why God invented steel toe boots.

>>9008918
I'm not saying you should give money to someone obviously trying to take advantage of you. Like if I was about to enter a fast food place and a homeless person said they were hungry and needed money, but refused my offer to buy them a meal, I wouldn't give them any money. But if you think someone genuinely needs it, you shouldn't refuse to give it to them because they might be taking advantage.

>>9008944
Maybe its different in other parts of the world, but there's so many ways to pick your shit out of a ditch in the US that I don't pity it.

t. Previous homeless dude.

It wasn't fun, but I didn't ask for handouts.

>>9008950

Remove chip from shoulder. Some people aren't fit to work, and not everyone has the same experience or opportunity or mental capacity.

>>9008763
Tradesman here, I take a shower after I get home, in the evening. I just wash my face in the morning. No sense in wasting water.

>>9008950
Yeah, some people become homeless for a while because they lost their job or whatever, and some are only taking advantage, but I see a lot of homeless people who most likely got that way because they're physically or mentally sick and aren't getting the care they need.

>>9008950
Nice personal anecdote, great stats.

>>9008969
I also know of one homeless man who is a veteran, whose family cashes his checks and doesn't help him. Someone most likely received his checks as a caretaker and was abusive, so he just doesn't deal with it because it's too much for him. I don't think he's an addict or anything, he's always reading and able to talk without seeming drunk or high.

Corn subsidies are mostly why soda is so cheap.

punishing dindus who dont pay their water bill

>>9009035
It's easier for people to say they're lazy or have no self-control than it is to actually try and fix the real problems which are a lot harder and more complex. I mean, I try to think that most people want to do good and help people, and they might think they're doing that by making fun of fat people, since being overweight is a problem. But, they've probably never really talked to someone who is overweight because they overeat due to severe mental health issues.

Aldi has like 36 bottles of water for like $3.00 or so.

>>9008998
We don't subsidise corn in Australia and we use sugar in soft drink anyway and soft drink is still cheap here.

>>9009070
Not only that, but I'm sick of the meme that diet + exercise = instantaneous results.

I was one of those fat children turned obese adults. It took me three years to lose 100, and I was on a controlled diet and busted my ass jogging in the morning before work and grad school, and more when I got home at night.
None of my skinny friends worked like how I and my fit friends did.
My highest weight was 240, and during my second year when I got down to 170 a few assholes still called me fat.

And that's why I get apathetic towards anyone with a vendetta against fatties, because it's not about health, it's about making themselves momentarily feel better about their insecurities.

>>9008923
Which is why they should all die, thanks for reinforcing my opinion.

>>9008998
sugar is amazingly cheap outside of the US

>>9009203
They do all die. And so will you.

>>9009227
Wow what a revelation!

>>9009184
That's because for whatever reason natty retards have brainwashed themselves into expecting instant gratification. They spend decades of their lives being pathetic flabby shits and then expect to see abs within a fucking year of diet and exercise. Your "skinny friends" don't need to put in the work to stay skinny, they're already fucking skinny, all they have to do is continue not eating like a fatass.

>>9009238
>They spend decades of their lives being pathetic flabby shits and then expect to see abs within a fucking year of diet and exercise.

What does this have to do with my point about how OTHER PEOPLE expect fatties to magically drop the weight within a few months of diet, by presuming they know about their habits and making disparaging comments?
Must be all that fat in your brain, you've got fat on the mind!

Homeless guys with dogs are alright since 90% of the time they just want food for the dog.

I buy 32-packs of store brand purified drinking water in 16.9floz bottles. This week they were $2.79 per pack. I paid roughly nine cents per bottle.

If you are dumb enough to spend two dollars on a single bottle of inferior Aquafina water at the checkout stand because it's cold, it's well-lit and it's that last-minute impulse buy, well, that's on you.

Actually, I can honestly say the store where I shop sells bottles of its own store brand water for fifty cents a bottle in the little refrigerators in the checkout aisles. Hopefully this will catch on more places.

>>9009771
Wrong faggot. Some homeless people are like that but some are willing to work and put in the effort if given a second chance. I've helped 3 different homeless people over the last 10 years get their life back on track and only one became homeless again.

The fastest way to lose weight is a bike. Fuck /fit/, they don't know shit about weight loss, only muh gainz. Riding a bike is easy on the joints and reasonably easy for fat and old people. You can expect about to burn about 600 calories in an hour, in my case probably more riding fast or on steep/rough terrain. /n/ is your friend, many of us are spooky skeltals, but also many roadie elitists.

I went from 215 to 145 (I'm 5' 11") by riding a bike all summer and I still worked a desk job and ate fast food all the time. But I rode that mountain bike frequently, often 30-40 miles a day. I stay around 150 lbs now.

It's to encourage recycling, but in reality the only people who do it are homeless people and it gives them the excuse to dig through peoples recycle bins.

>paying for bottled beverages

the only time paying for individual beverages is acceptable is at bars, and even then people still end up spending too much

Call me when you can to go any kitchen or bathroom and get tap soda, or public parks have soda fountains. Or you can go to any business in the US on a hot day and be given water (in some places by law).

Tap water in my local area is about 50 DKK per cubic meter.
Less than three US pennies per gallon; practically free.
