Ever consider that that water may very well have a humanity ending virus in it and we will never know?

Does this make it more or less valuable?

It is not natural. Same as quartz countertops, quite easily manufactured.

Water-containing stones are natural. Quartz counters are manufactured stone, they don't lie about that.

There's a recipe for water, fortunately Matt Damon knows it.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

yes, because water is constantly being destroyed and remade by photosynthesis and metabolism respectively

At some time the water you are drinking was pissed into.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Um. You do realize the oxygen you inhale becomes water, and the CO2 you exhale comes from the breakdown of water (separate processes)?

that is actually not true, you woulda had a better case with the carbon. water is formed constantly from combustion of hydrocarbons

Water isn't an element... Unless you mean a classical element

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Exactly. I was going a step deeper since elements are truly ancient. Molecules are created and destroyed every second.

I dunno, ask Apple - they take the same old junk, throw it together, and call it a "new iphone" every year

That's literally the definition of "New". Something that was in an old form that's been shaped into a different form.
