This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

we could also just build desalination plants with a field of solar panels next to them, but what do i know
Sort or related question, is that why their piss reeks like concentrated jenkem?
Dehydration is a common cause for cats to be 'ill' and brought to the vet,* so it could be that their piss reeks because they are having to concentrate it so much in the first place.
*source: a dimly remembered conversation with a vet friend when I asked her why she was adding water to the already wet food for her cat. She said her cat could never be encouraged to drink enough, so it was her way of staving off the annoyance of giving iv fluids to her own animal someday.
It's absolutely a thing, I've had several cats in my life look nearly on the brink of death before basically forcing them to drink or eat turned them around completely. They can be very stubborn. Fountains help a lot because in nature moving water is typically cleaner than standing water, so if your cat always refuses to drink, get a $10 cat fountain on Amazon, it works!
also stop giving them dry-ass pellets with a bunch of grains in them, nut up and live with the smell of wet food and buy some chicken innards for them every now and then.

Isn't all Jenkem concentrated?
I'm under the impression that the basic product itself isn't a concentration, but more of a fermented brew.
Wait is Jenkem the... Substance or is Jenkem the fumes that come off of the... Substance 🤢
The substance itself, in the same way that the smoke coming off a cigarette isn't tobacco.

Airid environment animals that could subsist on metabolic water and blood to an extent. In inland arid environments most standing water never makes it to an ocean, which means it accumulates surface salts and is brackish.
