I recently learned about the many types of water that exist, because I didn‘t know the difference.
Unfortunately I cannot let you in on the same excitement to learn about them, because I am German and can‘t be bothered to translate them to English. I especially like „Weiher“ which I only recently learned existed. If you speak German, enjoy:
- -Teich. Ein von Menschen künstlich angelegtes Stück Wasser.
- -Stausee. Ebenfalls künstlich von Menschen angelegt. Groß. Der Wasserstand lässt sich kontrollieren. Hat eine große Talsperre (Staumauer).
- -Pfütze. Kommt vom Regen.
- -Tümpel. So etwas wie eine große Pfütze, jedoch füllt sie sich wieder, sollte sie mal austrocknen.
- -Weiher. Tiefer als ein Tümpel und trocknet meist nicht aus.
- -See. Großes Stillgewässer.
- -Meer. Bekannt. Sehr groß.

Nature is so beautiful and the human desire to create meaning is so beautiful and rivers are such a peak embodiment of both!! looking at any significant river gives you so much history! just think about how the Mississippi river was a direct witness to the american industrial revolution! the history part is so fun but from that stems the symbolic meaning we assign to the things that sustain us, think how engrained the Nile is in Egyptian Mythology, the phrase 'crossing the Rubicon,' etc etc!!!! rivers are such an underrated CLASSIC piece of humanity and you can get nerdy and weird with it one of my favorites is the Colorado because of Fallout: New Vegas and I also love the Amazon because of it's geological history related to the Andes mountains <3. my favorite thing to do instead of paying attention in class is learn about rivers. rivers cuomo is cool too

I‘ve always felt passionate about breathing and for the last couple of days (currently 7) I‘ve done it all the time. Literally every few seconds.
Please don‘t come at me with addiction or whatever, I like it and I don‘t think it has gotten out of hand yet. Sure, I also do it in my sleep, non-stop, but I‘m sure it‘s fine. It just rejuvenates me.
Anyone else having a streak right now? Or maybe someone who doesn’t breath? Tell me your experience with it.

What y’all know bout the hard cider challenge?
In this challenge you will be subsidizing all your liquids with hard cider for a day.
You start in the morning with hard cider about 2% abv, and as the day progresses you switch at noon to hard cider with about 5% abv.
Like this and I shall try the challenge and report back to you. You can try it as well. Bonus points if you do it on a work or uni day.
