Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

In the US there is sometimes sludge at the bottom of the water heater that collects. You shouldn't drink hot tap water in the US.
Pretty sure your not supposed to drink the tap water at all in a lot of places. I know my city sends a letter multiple times every year saying not to drink the tap water. Cookings fine thiugh :/
Apparently, don't cook with it either:

It's not just the lead, it's heavy metals in general.
I just looked it up for my country and you're right. They don't recommend regularly drinking the hot water. There goes my experiment lol
That's really gross what the hell
