Could I get sauce of original picture

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

That’s too close to accurate for an RFK hot take.

It’s because the water absorbs gas from the air, especially at warmer temperatures. Since the uncovered cup of water shares space with people - who exhale carbon dioxide - it’s the carbon dioxide, increased acidity, and other absorbed gasses you taste.

Now for the clincher. Exhaled carbon dioxide is breath leaving the body. So, ghosts.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

So leave a cup of water overnight on your bedside table and drink it every morning to regain the life-force you breathed away while sleeping. PATENT PENDING!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But I already put pressurised ghosts in my water to make bubbles.

His biggest accomplishment in life is having a last name.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And a name we have turned into legend despite that family being an absolute disaster filled with human scum.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

My only hope for the future is that younger generations seem to not care about "political dynasties". I'll never understand the boomers obsession with ensure one family keeps power for generations. It doesn't make sense

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I listened to the Behind the bastards podcast episodes on the Kennedy family, bunch of fucked up people, but because of JFK and RFK they’re spoken about like royalty. Never mind that if they had lived, they would have become crooked career politicians like all the Kennedys

Edit: that podcast has great episodes on RFK jr as well and the insanity that is his life story. When Rfk jr is your roommate in college, he keeps a hawk on a perch by the bed, and his side of the fridge is full of roadkill.

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

There’s an episode of red dwarf that centers on that. They accidentally save him from being shot and the entire country falls apart because all his business comes out.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Easy for dumb brain

They just don't like the extant ones. They want new political dynasties

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

unless your drinking it at 3am

That's when the night ghosts are all looking for new water

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think he zalgos so much as he SpongeBob alternating cases

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, hearing him talk makes me feel like I'm being cursed.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

i mean if you're statesian too they built our country on an ancient indian burial ground so like maybe this is just a manifestation of that

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

hey I enjoy leftover water

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Aged water, thank you. Aging just makes some things better. Whiskey? Better with age. Cheese? Better with age. Prosciutto, beef, wine, pound cake, fruit cake, and pickles? All better with age.

You know who doesn't think things get better with age? Anyone in the Epstein files.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Mee too! Idk why, but the best water is ice water that's been left on the counter for 4-12 hours. It's just more refreshing

Water reacts (slowly) with CO2 in the air and creates carbonic acid. Or something like that.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Mmm stagnant water!

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, if I find my water glass from yesterday in the morning it's like ooo extra flat water tastes kind of like dust.

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would have assumed he'd want a glass of water to be left out overnight so that the chemicals in them would dissipate.

This coming from a man who likes to swim in known crap infested waters with the family.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm always surprised to hear people dislike the taste after leaving it out. I leave a big cup of water out every night so it'll taste better in the morning 😅

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Your municipality must use chloramines in their treatment. Common for home brewers to collect their brewing water and let it sit out overnight.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Giant insulated water bottle. Get to sip on it as I fall asleep and have plenty of 3am water all night and much of the morning

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I've always got a mug of it out, 500ml stainless steel mug.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that's a bit insulting. this is more logically sound than most of the shit that comes out of RFK's mouth.

Yeah he can't turn this into a eugenics program

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Is carbon dioxide just ghosts? 🤔

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

So my microwave is haunted. It has one of those old touchscreen control bullshits. If you use it with greasy or covered in meat juices fingers, the grease will continue to press the button only randomly. like we know what our microwave ghost really is, but it's really conceptually fun to have a haunted microwave so we have a microwave ghost.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

My phone does that if the screen gets wet (usually from forehead sweat). lol

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

You got phone ghosts!

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe it's the carbon moanoxide. * Complete failure to make a ghost moaning sound through text ...

Peter, those are Cheerios.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

but what is carboning that dioxide ☝️🧐🎩

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only in a disco elysium kinda way.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

More of a Grim Dawn way actually.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 points 22 hours ago

Did he really say it or is it a meme? LOL. I would believe either one at this point and will not Google anything about this brainworm added batshit crazy oligarch.
