That might be bacteria cause it’s sealed and damp/dark?
In other words, buy a new water bottle Kermy
It’s a bit different when it’s plastic vs bacteria though, it would get smelly in most containers if used and left. If it was just clean water then yeah.
Some containers are naturally more antibacterial though, and plastic is by far the worst at the other end of the scale and that’s why those nicer reusable bottles are best
They’re all clear plastic!! Hmm, maybe I’ll get one of those metal ones
Save the planet use your hands
Wrong thread?
But there’s bacteria in water.
I have a super sparrow metal one from Amazon I really rate!
Absolutely, and even more in someone’s mouth!
I dunno, you’re not backwashing?
Would you be comfortable drinking water that had just briefly touched someone’s bumhole?
Not asking for the thread btw, just doing early planning for secret Santa
Ideally not
But my lips and stuff still touch the bottle and bacteria can grow and multiply from there, no?
It’s like in a mouth, the bacteria are all in harmony ideally, but when taken out and put in another environment things change don’t they?
No comment
I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about here scientifically but I think you’d have to be really unlucky to be infected by bacteria on a water bottle that hasn’t been washed for a few days. Just seems so, so minor compared to all the other stuff out there that you could encounter.
Who’s to say the bacteria in your mouth is harmonious?
Oh yeah it’s more just like - grim to think about (for me) As I said upthread. You’d have to leave it a while for it to be a problem but also as meo says it depends on the water source/quality too so could be any number of things.
Bacteria are what make it smelly which would provide further ‘evidence’ I suppose and the idea of that is what makes me not like it, and it’s easy enough to wash.
Well quite, hence bad breath, furry tongue etc etc. But in a healthy mouth (as with the rest of our skin) the bacteria is in harmony and most is good stuff working to protect us from the bad rather than the opposite.
(Not like, cognitively, obvs)
I want to make it very clear I’m aware that as I like it when someone I am attracted to spits in my mouth, I’m on pretty shaky ground as far as asserting things here goes, but in my mind that’s very Different to like, something that has been left uncleaned
I am very surprised that so many people wash their hair every day
I wish I could wash mine less (and I’m sure it would look 100x better than the frizzy, thick mess it is now) but I can’t not get in the shower without washing my hair, I just can’t do it
