    I have heard melodysheep's George Carlin remix with "save the bees" so many times:

    Today for the first time I came across the greater context it's taken from. It's good stuff.

      Should have toured Sweden where people get into arguments whether their town has the better water or not. 🀣

      @Michael Downey 🀐r: If it's not as heavily chlorinated as Florida and Hong Kong water, that'd be a great improvement already.

      Chlorine is a great public health intervention, but not when the kitchen smells like a swimming pool when you pour a glass, or the syrup soda at the fast food place *tastes* like a swimming pool.

      @clacke Sweden's water sounds great.

      I have worked in 15 US states and I have never found a place where tap water tastes good. I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water.

      The worst places were in #Mississippi (Jackson, Starkville #MS), #Louisiana (Baton Rouge #LA) and #California (Irwindale #CA).

      In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water.

      In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #Baton_Rouge, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.

      @lnxw48a1 @clacke You've never found a place where tap water tastes good in the states? Dude, you need to get out of the city. Plenty of good well water out in the country.

      @gnu2 I tend to work in smaller cities, like Salina Kansas and Starkville Mississippi, or in state capitals. Many of them aren't horrible, but neither are they particular enjoyable. That's when sodas and other drinks become attractive.

      When you drink from a mountain stream (or a bottle of Fiji water) there is a deep pleasure in every sip. You don't want any other beverages, just water.

      @lnxw48a1 soda is something you drink when you have an upset stomach. Are you referring to pop?

      @gnu2 "soda pop", but in the Western US, it is usually just "soda". I usually only hear "pop" if I am in the Southern States.

      @lnxw48a1 in the midwest its just pop. When I moved to Houston nobody had any idea what I was asking for when I asked for a "small pop" damn Texans called everything "coke." Proves once again the midwest is the best.

      @gnu2 Ah, I've spent a few years working in MO, KS, NE, but never encountered "pop" there. I'd guess someone probably made a map of which term is heard in which states, but I'm not goin to look for it right now.

        Midwestern United States
        The Midwestern United States, also referred to as the Midwest or the American Midwest, is one of four census regions of the United States Census Bureau (also known as "Region 2"). It occupies the northern central part of the United States. It was officially named the North Central Region by the Census Bureau until 1984. It is between the Northeastern United States and the Western United States, with Canada to the north and the Southern United States to the south. The Census Bureau's definition consists of 12 states in the north central United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The region generally lies on the broad Interior Plain between the states occupying the Appalachian Mountain range and the states occupying the Rocky Mountain range. Major rivers in the region include, from east to west, the Ohio River, the Upper Mississippi River, and the Missouri River. The 2020 United States census put the population of the Midwest at 68,995,685....

      @lnxw48a1 don't trust the government, ever. The midwest is Wisconsin and all the states that touch it. Maybe Indiana if they are nice today.

      @gnu2 Tears in Ohio, learning that they've been kicked out of the Midwest.

      It's pretty odd how wide the variations are of people's definitions of that particular subset of the US.
