We’re literally going back to serfs boiling water to make it drinkable.

I’m a liberal sorry https://www.sciencealert.com/theres-a-surprisingly-easy-way-to-remove-microplastics-from-your-drinking-water

    Wait if I boil it does that help? I don’t want any cancer or whatever

    EDIT: was a bit crass, but the question is sincere

    EDIT 2: I googled and found the article, it’s not a bit, kril-drained

      Does boiling it even help or are they talking about boiling as a step in distillation

        boiling precipitates the water’s minerals onto the microplastic, making it bigger (and easier to filter)

        that’s why it works better with hard water than soft

          Oh okay so it’s just a maybe useful pre-filtering step that will likely still not remove all the plastic

          Thanks for reading for me so my vibes based science is more informed
