Random thoughts just popped in my head and I just remembered that all the water in a given city is all centralized. Just add poison and boom, eradicated an entire city who are full of dissidents/opposition as punishment for voting the “wrong” way, or for a protest, or if the population is filled with “filthy undesirable [Insert Racial Group Here]”, or something like that.

Kinda unsettling to see that we are all just attached to “the grid” 😖

    I don’t know how to feel about it.

    On one hand, people should probably be brushing their teeth anyways, so if you brush your teeth and also have flouridated water, seems a bit excessive?

    But on the other hand, life is stressful and I’m dealing with depression and I often forget to brush my teeth… so like… idk I don’t have enough info to have a strong opinion on it. There’s pros and cons to both side of the flouride debate.

      There’s only pros. It’s proven to prevent cavities in children and adults, much better than brushing alone.

      There’s also the sad fact that not every kid is taught to—or sometimes allowed to—brush their teeth.

        I hope there’s nothingsecretly sinister about it.

        I mean, sure, this could endup just being FUD like with the antivax conspiracy theory, but it also has the potential of being another Microplastic polluting shit like PFAS that nobody knew was harmful for many decades.

        So for things I have low-info on, its best to not hold a strong opinion, rather than risking beliving in the wrong thing. I keep my mind open to different points of view.
