We have clean water in Austria, directly from the mountains without adding anything (just cleaning it with UV light to kill potential bacteria in most regions, nothing else. Not even that in some regions).

Some of the best and cleanest water worldwide, so whenever I go to another country I'm disappointed by their water quality.

Don't tell Nestle, lol

Swede here who frequents Austria. I agree, and I love drinking the water while hiking in Austria.

If you visit Sweden, our water is mostly as good as the one in Austria. Some exceptions are Gotland because of high chalk (so? "Kalk") levels.

How's the water in the Netherlands, out of curiosity? If you've been there, that is. Or Belgium, maybe.

I haven't thought about that jingle in years (decades?) but it came back instantly. And now it won't leave.

Oh fun, here's another:

There's a magical place, we're on our way there
With toys by the million, all under one roof...

You probably wouldn't know it, but "There's a funky little place down on bayside drive"

"...where woman and children have to hunt to survive" ?

Another banger. Millions of Jeffrey

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's got some pretty dark Edgar Allan Poe vibes:

"There's millions" says Jeffrey, "all under one roof..."

If he's a toy himself, then he's selling out his own kind by cramming them like sardines in inhumane conditions and selling them off to the highest bidder. Despicable.

In the US. I feel the same about our well water. Completely untreated and so good.

[โ€“] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not all well water is untreated...

True, especially big community well situations. We're the only ones on our well, though.
