Wife: GM

Me: GM, why do you think people used to die of dysentery? Did they not know to drink water? Seems very preventable.

Wife: This is what you wake up thinking about?

Me: like how come lots of people used to die of dysentery? And now no one dies of dysentery?

Wife: I thought you’d be thinking β€œwow what a nice Sunday morning”.

Me: like just drink water you know?

Sounds just like conversations with my wife 🀣

Good morning πŸŒ»πŸ’œπŸ€™

Seems like your mind is one of those that wakes up very early πŸ˜„

Were you playing Oregon trail recently?

Better sanitation practices and cleaner water.

🀣🀣🀣 you sound like my son. He wakes up asking the most bizarre questions.

You can just _drink_ water.

People used to just be drunk all the time because water could kill them. Even kids were given weaker versions of mead, wine and beer. This was one of the first examples of purification of water. Can you imagine a world where people were just hammered all the time?

Mead is mild. When you water it down a bit.

The history of water purification is fascinating!

Not just a drop in dysentery but also cholera.

The rise of coffee and tea, using boiled water, as a replacement for beer, wine and mead is equally interesting.

The water was foul. Drink mead they said.
