Drink more water, not even trying to be coy or anything, when I drank soft drinks and water side by side water was bland; now that i drink 95% water and the rest milk or tea water is so much tastier.

What's that? Dumb water bottles? Clearly you need Rebo


quote:

How do you make sure the credits go to collectors?
Our partners from Plastic Bank have an established reward system that uses electronic currency to reward people for the plastic bottles they collect. To ensure the rewards go to the hands of the collectors we will use :siren:blockchain:siren:. In simple terms, REBO will report the number of bottles users drink and Plastic Bank will report when the collectors get the rewards.

Who funds the credits?
The credits will be funded by individual and corporate sponsorships.

Their video pitch is a real trip, you keep expecting there to be a punchline, but it never comes

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Heh this is basically the plot to Blindsight.
Conscious, self-aware brains are an evolutionary dead end. They are too slow and require too much energy. Aliens begin to invade the solar system because humans broadcast their shitposts into space and the aliens interpret the waste of energy they spend trying to understand our shitposts as a threat they need to eliminate.
