    So, those crazy Swedes have come up with a machine that can extract sweat from clothes and purify it into drinking water.

    I don't think I could drink the water it produces, even if its my own clothes that would be used in the machine. Interesting gadget though!

    Hyperbole title. It wouldn't be sweat you'd be drinking, it would be pure water extracted from it so I wouldn't have any issue. A lot more than water in sweat.

    Deep River Rock have been doing that for years now!
    Where else do you think they got the slogan, 'It's Water, You Wear'?

    Nobody tell the OP where drinking water comes from, they'll die of thirst.

    You sweat, it evaporates into the atmosphere, it falls as rain, it's purified and you drink it. You've been drinking 'sweat' all your life.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Its the process of it though, you whack a sweaty pair of jocks into the machine and a glass of water is produced.

    Anyway, I guess the expression "I'd suck the sweat from her knickers" can now mean an expression of thirst as well as a term of endearment?

    In other news, Dublin's in serious drought. But the Swedes are crazy...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    They are in terms of their dietary preferences anyway, I would rather drink unfiltered sweat from a hurler's armpit on All-Ireland Final day than eat their dish, Surströmming.

    You definately don't want to drink the water in any major city so OP, the water from treatment plants that supply London has on average passed through seven sets of kidney's before it hits your tap!

    Have a look at how the nanomesh straw works, you can turn sewage into drinking water with it.

    Hmm... it'd only be useful short time right? Otherwise just like piss it'll get really bad after going through a few times and will hydrate you less and less.

    We should all drink homeopathy medicine, they dilute it so much that it forgets all the bad stuff but not the magic molecules that's good for you.

    All thanks to the highly scientific method of water memory.

    :pac:
