Back in my day we used to mine for coal for 10 hours without light or water

Yeah that checks out.
That hose water hits different though for sure. So tasty.
Lead was used as a flavoring agent for a very long time amongst the upper class in history. Often added to water or wine to make it more sweet. Obviously it's fallen out of favor now that we know what lead does, but it was a big deal in Rome.
So yeah, humans historically prefer lead water for some reason.
The chemical code for lead is Pb, derived from plumbum, meaning plumbing. Lead was used as piping for a long-ass time, until most of people went literally insane and started dying from the lead exposure. Thats probably how the Romans fell.
Interestingly, lead pipes aren’t actually bad if you have super hard water. The lead ends up lined with buildup. Of course, any time you have to make a repair, you end up destroying the lining and going back to leaching lead.
Potentially unrelated, but lead tastes sweet. Yummy yummy.
That explains a lot.
when I was a kid we'd leave the gas stove running all day to make our lungs stronger
Just breathe that nice fresh coal mine air like the rest of us 8 year olds.
No lies detected.
Just took a brief glance at that guy's twitter and discovered that this is not satire. Explains a lot
As a snowflake I agree
Self owns are the absolute best.
You'd have to to be a republican

Yep certainly explains things.
