A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

Wtf I'm Australian and never had a "bad" bottle of water and never even considered that could be a thing. The hell are they doing to it.

They add salt to it for "flavor". Yes, I'm serious. It's not like sea water, but it definitely tastes like bad tap water.

it's because you put your water in bags

Everything tastes better from a bag. Fact.

I can’t get her to climb in there though.

She’s your mom, maybe you can talk to her for me?

I'll see what I can do 🤷

Well it's a Coca Cola brand, so I wouldn't rule out any nefarious corruption of it tbh 🤷
