Does that exclude water, considering water is blue?
Water is blue?
You didn't know that?
Isn’t that from the sunlight and absorbing other colours?
When it’s in a glass it’s clear.
It does have an inherent blueness to it
That’s an interesting read. Thanks.
That's an optical illusion. That's like saying the sky isn't blue just because you can see into the sky.
The sky isn’t blue. It’s the angle of the sun and the blue wavelength of light making it to our eyes.
At a different angle the sky is quite red or orange.
Turns out the color of everything has to do with different angles at which light travels through it.
Apples are red because the other wavelengths get bent into the 6th dimension and become electronic energy.
I churn the water before I drink it
How does that change its colour?
Turns it into white water
If you didn't have a churner, would you just die of thirst?
There’s always milk
Yeah, but you can't live on milk.
That’s why my list includes bread
I mean you can't have milk and just water. Milk has things in it that wouldn't be good for someone in as much excess as someone needs water.
I try to only drink it from white boobs, so it’s got balanced nutrition. It’s my substitute since I cant have chocolate or banana soylent.
You can't live on breast milk either, plus it would lead to abnormal growth and you'd need to alternate between women as we don't have an infinite supply of breast milk in our bodies.
That’s why my list includes bread
You think bread can replace water?
Bread can contain water, though only briefly
