    Solar stills are only useful in certain, niche circumstances and are improvised with materials on hand.

    Finding some transparent, eco-friendly sheeting and packing it just to run a solar still is fucking stupid.

    Seems like you are being a dick because someone else didn’t know that this was something that could only be used in emergency situations and nobody plans for those. I mean you could have said ‘filter straws are a better option if you are planning ahead’ if this method is worse, but I bet you feel a lot better having trash talked someone for not being aware of some additional context not present in the OP.

      Seems like you doubled down on an ignorant statement when you were provided context.

      You could have cut bait and kept your mouth shut, but I bet you feel a lot better having tried to shore up a bad position instead of just taking on the new information and moving on.

        I didn’t double down on anything. I pointed out not being aware of knowledge being the reason for asking a question.

        You are doubling down on being a jerk though.

          I don’t understand how you thought this guy was being a dick just because he said “fucking stupid”…are you really that sensitive? He’s right. Keeping some clear plastic on you at all times, because one day you might have a 0.000001% chance that you need to use it to obtain fresh water…is stupid. It’s fucking stupid.

          There’s plenty of plastic already freely available out in the environment already! You’d only be adding another piece of plastic!

          Unless you … bring it outside of the environment…

            Of course not, what a stupid fucking question.
