    The reason we’ve evolved to tune out whatever taste water may have, is because we need to be able to detect when there’s shit in it. Literally. But also anything else non-suitable.

    Which is why waters taste slightly different as we never drink distilled water really. Not that it’s somehow toxic, but drinking only distilled water when there’s no food and then sweating a lot would dehydrate you eventually.
