When I used to work on the cleaning staff of an office building we weren't allowed to carry water to drink so I would have to go into the storage room in the back of the bathroom and drink from the faucent if I was nearing heat stroke.

It's rare. Not common as we did need water to survive

ever wonder why cities are near rivers?

Humans had been very careless with their water, dumping waste into it.

and yet some aren't

They were near rivers because rivers were natural roads.

Mostly India is

Not to have water to drink.

Wrong, it's a water source

that and to drink, Emma. you forgot how important water source and water ways are in history

Out immune system was fucked up with the invention of hygiene and cooking food

Those very same human cities were careless with their waste and dumped it right into the rivers.

That's why it wasn't safe to drink the water near cities.

Yeah, drink up steam dump downstream

Human feces was just dumped right into it.

You do realize that people emptied their shit buckets on the streets

Right out the windows

but their waste wasn't as bad as some of ours today. As well as that they did throw buckets out the window like Comrade said

middle ages were fuckin' terrible by jayus

The big cities were horrible. The stench was heard for miles away

I would like to hear a smell

you get what they mean

Ye

He does

Some people probably can hear smells, there is that condition where some people can see sound.

Anyways it's just most of the history people who couldn't handle water died out

Like all animals do

But now we have teapots, sanitation and medicine

And we fucked ourselves

well it hasn't been recorded in humans yet, so we'll see.
the seeing smells that is.

unless its gas and wind we see their effects

@Katnipkitkat in many languages the verb to sense smell it to hear

One of my favorite movie quotes is "Listen! Do you smell that?" XD

mine is "An eye for an eye makes the world go blind"

Its weird but true

It;s the cause of war, love

Unless it's to cease violence

.....man, I'm going too deep again. Apologies

Don't get me started on deep shit

I ate mushroom soup today

I have a character who basically thinks very deep
