i just read three pages of goonshit trying to argue that water "tastes bad" and "is gross" because their palettes have been salted by frozen chik'n nuggets and coca cola in much the same way that armies would salt the earth to prevent anything wholesome from growing

nah i'm kidding i don't read these loving threads

if you don't think water is bland, i don't know what to tell you besides maybe you're autistic

also water is only inferior to everything else in terms of taste. as i said it's probably the healthiest thing you can eat or drink, it's the most cost-effective, and it's the most readily available.

actually, when you're really thirsty, water tastes like heaven. you will never taste anything better in your life than water when you are really thirsty. this makes sense, because your body is like 60% water, so it's crying "welcome home, welcome home!"

it all starts out normal, but in a shocking turn of events that will send chills down your spine, it's actually the guy who doesn't "like" water who's autistic!

admittedly i was a bit retarded earlier with the lemonade/juice thing since i always drink water when playing tennis.

i still don't drink it for the taste though, i drink it because (again) it's the healthiest thing i could have and it's the most readily available.

but have you ever had water and it tasted like god's piss?

i don't think this is an uncommon experience, but maybe what you need to do is not drink anything at all until you're just going mad with thirst and then try some water. it might be a revelation. you keep saying it doesn't taste blah blah blah but taste isn't just a result of whatever chemicals are present in the food/drink, it is also a complex nervous event that (although i'm no expert) surely takes things like satiety into account.

why does it keep coming back to me drinking piss

also i'm not going to dehydrate myself to that point, even if true. i'll take your non-expert word for it and conclude that when you're totally and utterly dehydrated, water tastes good probably.

I don't think beer "tastes like poo poo" but I do agree that I personally never found it refreshing on a hot day. I mean I'll still drink it every time, but if only refreshment was my goal water is much better for that purpose.

Wiki: "Although preliminary research indicates potential health benefits from consuming chia seeds, this work remains sparse and inconclusive.[16]"

Given that seeds are designed not to be digested and most of the sites that I see that are hyping the benefits are also the ones selling them I am a bit skeptical

Seeds are a major food source, so I don't think that automatically discounts anything. Usually we prepare them somehow though by removing the seed coat or cooking them.

I've always been skeptical of the claim that they're some sort of a miracle cure (because nothing ever is), but they are a good source of fiber, and I'm assuming chewing might help with the digestion process. I've never heard of people drinking them in their water though. That sounds dumb.
